Official: Five Roma players out as Gasperini confirms squad list for Atalanta clash | OneFootball

Tommaso Baldanzi is one of the five unavailable Roma players for tomorrow’s game against Atalanta.

Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has named his squad list for Saturday’s Serie A match against his former club Atalanta.

Surprisingly, attacking midfielder Baldanzi has been omitted due to a rectus femoris muscle injury, as reported by several sources, including ForzaRoma.info.

Lorenzo Pellegrini and Leon Bailey are also unavailable due to injuries and fever, Gasperini confirmed, while Evan Ndicka and Neil El Aynaoui are away on AFCON international duty with Ivory Coast and Morocco, respectively.

Gasperini has called up two players from the Primavera squad:18-year-old right-back Emanuele Lulli and 19-year-old centre-back Jacopo Mirra.

The latter had already been part of the senior squad in recent games against Juventus and Genoa.

Tomorrow’s away game at Atalanta will mark Gasperini’s return to Bergamo, where he spent nine seasons before moving to the Olimpico last summer.

Roma sit fourth in the Serie A table with 33 points, while Atalanta are 10th with 22.
