Devyne Rensch is not part of the Roma squad for their Serie A opener against Fiorentina this evening due to muscular issues.

Roma have released their squad list for this evening’s home Serie A match against Fiorentina.

Lorenzo Pellegrini’s omission came as no surprise, as the Italian midfielder is still recovering from an injury and spent the pre-season working separately.

On the other hand, Rensch was expected to be fit, but a muscle problem in the flexor of his right thigh has ruled him out of the game.

Rensch was not expected to start, but he’s regarded as the first backup for either Wesley on the left flank or Nahuel Molina on the right.

Therefore, Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has called up 19-year-old right-back Emanuele Lulli, who trained and played with the first team during the pre-season.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, have travelled to Rome without Fabiano Parisi, and there are doubts over whether Moise Kean will start, considering that the Italy international has reportedly reached an agreement with Como.
