Roma's progression into the quarterfinals of the Europa League may have been dealt a severe blow after veteran defender Mats Hummels has been sent off.
After securing a 2-1 win in the first leg a week ago, Claudio Ranieri's men will be made to fight that much harder having been reduced to ten men before the 15-minute mark.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich star was judged to have brought down Maroan Sannadi as the last man in the wake of his poorly-placed square ball to Gianluca Mancini that fell straight to Sannadi, who was judged to have been denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.
A critical error by such an experienced centre-back may now ultimately prove the undoing of the Giallorossi's only chance at major honours this season.
