Hermoso to be ruled out vs Juve, Ghilardi could start | OneFootball

Mario Hermoso may not be available for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Juventus-Roma match, scheduled for tonight at 8:45 PM.

As the coach stated in his press conference, the player had been suffering from fatigue that wasn’t a cause for concern, but pessimism is growing in Trigoria about the Spaniard’s condition.

As reported by Il Tempo, however, pessimism is filtering through for tonight’s match. “Ndicka’s absence is a burden; if Hermoso were also missing, it would put us in difficulty,” Gasperini stated on the eve of the match.

Now he will have to rethink his defense for the match against the Bianconeri, with the certainty that Gianluca Mancini will be at the center of the defense and leading the charge.

As a result, Ghilardi is a candidate for a starting spot.

This is the second great opportunity for the central defender, who arrived in the summer from Hellas Verona. He showcased his talents against Midtjylland in the Europa League with a strong performance, both physically and mentally.

After the European match, he only played a snippet against Cagliari; now he can prove himself a valuable asset to the cause.
