Roma boss Rudi Garcia has urged his team to respond positively to their defeat against Serie A title rivals Juventus.

The Giallorossi looked on course to earn a point in Turin on Sunday night, but Leonardo Bonucci struck late to give Juve a 3-2 victory.

Despite seeing his side's five-match winning run in the league come to an end, Garcia is hopeful that his players will be raring to go after the international break.

"We are second in the standings and that means we must get back to winning ways after the international break," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "I hope that all of my players that are joining their respective national teams return to the club in full fitness."

Roma continue their Serie A campaign on October 18 with the visit of Chievo.
