Athletic Club winger Nico Williams has pointed to two AS Roma stars who could cause issues for his side when they meet in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Giallorossi will host the Spanish club at the Stadio Olimpico for the first of their two-legged Europa League Round of 16 tie.
Williams, who has a Ghanaian heritage, is expected to play a pivotal role against Roma, but he feels that the Giallorossi will provide a tough test, particularly given their run of impressive form since Claudio Ranieri took over.
“Roma has changed coach again, and now they’re doing very well, they’ve won four in a row,” the 22-year-old said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“They’re a strong, physical team that has players of great quality,” he continued.
“Someone like Dybala can solve the game at any point, and it’s not just him. Angelino is an excellent player who has great numbers in terms of goals and assists, so we will have to be careful on that side. They are two ‘cracks’.”
The return leg is scheduled for a week later at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.
