After 157 days since his last match, Lorenzo Pellegrini is preparing to return to the pitch.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Roma midfielder is expected to return to the squad, a significant step after a long spell away from competitive action.

His recovery is significant news for Gian Piero Gasperini, who had strongly supported the player’s continued existence over the summer.

The Giallorossi coach has always appreciated Pellegrini’s technical ability, as well as his influence in the locker room and the leadership he developed over the years in the capital.

Now a new phase of his journey begins. Pellegrini will need to gradually regain his match rhythm and fitness, without pushing things forward after a long absence. The goal is to get back to playing time as soon as possible, with the matches against Torino and Inter potentially representing the first opportunities to see him back on the pitch.
