Roma coach Jose Mourinho is demanding they appeal the red card of Lorenzo Pellegrini in last night's victory over Udinese.
Pellegrini was sent off after a second yellow card was shown for jumping with elbow raised on Lazar Samardzic. It means the captain will be suspended for Sunday's Derby della Capitale against Lazio.
Mourinho said, “I don't know the legal mechanisms in Italian football, but if we can appeal, then we must try.
"I have many doubts that anyone could say that was a deserved second yellow card. If there's a way of appealing this card, then we must do that and allow him to play on Sunday."
He added: “It was a difficult match, but a good one."
