Francesco Totti has passed a late fitness test ahead of AS Roma's Champions League clash with the Gunners.

A muscle strained in training on Tuesday had looked as though it would keep the Serie A side's talisman out of the game.

“I think that we are favourites for this clash,” former Arsenal loanee Julio Baptista, now with Roma, told the Daily Star.

“In my opinion the loss of Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Eduardo and Emmanuel Adebayor are just too much for them to deal with right now."
