Africa-Press – Ghana. Ghana striker Felix Afena-Gyan hopes to make his European debut when Roma hosts Bodo/Glimt in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-finals clash at Stadio Olimpico.
Roma were defeated 2-1 in the first leg in Norway, but the Italians are confident of overturning the deficit in Rome and progressing to the competition’s last four.
Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt are unbeaten against Roma. They have two wins, including a 6-1 victory in the group stage earlier this season. The result stunned the football world, as it was Jose Mourinho’s heaviest defeat as a manager.
Afena-Gyan was an unused substitute in the first leg but is expected to play on Thursday night after starting the previous game in Serie A against Salernitana.
Positive vibes.

Mourinho was impressed with Afena-efforts Gyan’s and gave him a pat on the back after replacing him on 68 minutes.
It was his first appearance for Roma since assisting Ghana in qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and he was overjoyed the Yellow and Reds won, but it wasn’t as easy as many expected.
The 19-year-old has played 17 matches across all competitions this season for Roma and scored two goals.
