Hermoso and Malen return to Roma’s line-up vs Udinese | OneFootball

Roma takes to the field in Udine for the twenty-third matchday of Serie A, aiming to maintain their pace towards the Champions League.

Kick-off is set for 8:45 PM, and Gasperini’s team comes into the match against Udinese with several key absences.

To regain the fourth place that Juventus temporarily occupied following their victory against Parma, Gasperini is considering his starting lineup.

There are few doubts, but the players’ fitness continues to influence his decisions.

The return of Hermoso is good news for the coach, but Roma will have to make do without several key players.

Dybala, Koné, Dovbyk, Ferguson, and El Shaarawy will all be sidelined due to injury.

In midfield, Gasperini will keep El Aynaoui and Cristante, while Svilar will be in goal, ready to defend the posts.

The attack will rely on Donyell Malen, who will be tasked with leading the team, alongside Soulé and Pellegrini. The latter is doubtful with a sprained ankle. Pisilli is ready to replace him if he is forced out.
