AS Roma captain Francesco Totti dedicated victory over Atalanta to Leandro Castan.
The captain was suspended for today's 2-1 win away to Atalanta, but wrote the customary note on his blog.
"Winning when coming from behind is always difficult and even more so in Bergamo, as Atalanta are tough fighters.
"Many compliments to Michele Somma for his Serie A debut, which represents a source of pride for our youth academy.
"Above all an affectionate embrace for Leo. He's a great man and will face this moment with the same grit he puts into each game. We are waiting for him."
Castan will undergo brain surgery this week to correct a cavernoma problem and is not expected to play again until April.
