Roma is preparing to face Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa.

The Giallorossi will take to the field tomorrow, December 29th, against the Grifone at the Olimpico. Gian Piero Gasperini needs to solve the attacking puzzle in a few hours, and Tommaso Baldanzi is climbing the ranks to start.

Artem Dovbyk is close to being called up, but it’s unlikely he’ll start. Evan Ferguson, on the other hand, has never fully convinced Gasperini, and now his future seems increasingly distant from Trigoria.

Therefore, the lightweight trident could be used again against Genoa.

The Giallorossi attack without Lorenzo Pellegrini faces a number of forced choices.

Matias Soulé has secured his spot on the right flank, while on the left, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Baldanzi could start from the start to replace the number 7.

Paulo Dybala will complete the attacking trio, acting as a maneuvering center forward. Gaspar won’t be able to count on Leon Bailey, who is continuing to work separately after yet another injury sustained during the match against Juventus.

In defense, Jan Ziolkowski has a new opportunity, as after his excellent performance against Juventus he could climb the pecking order and increase his playing time.
