Gian Piero Gasperini has almost his entire squad available for the Rome derby against Lazio, scheduled for tomorrow at 12:00 PM, following a near-endless dispute between the Lega Serie A and the Prefect of Rome.
From Pisilli to El Aynaoui, from Hermoso to Mancini, and finally Malen, the team is packed with options in every department.
Artem Dovbyk and Lorenzo Pellegrini also returned to training this week, both of whom are candidates for inclusion in the squad.
Zaragoza is out. The Giallorossi coach appears to have only one doubt regarding the lineup: Pisilli or Soulé?
Gasperini has already chosen two of the three attacking options: Malen and Dybala will once again start.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the only doubt is between Pisilli and Soulé, with the Roman midfielder leading the way.
The Giallorossi number 61 would now partner Koné in midfield, with Cristante potentially moving up to counter the opposing playmaker, likely Rovella.
Lorenzo Pellegrini is also expected to be a contender, but he hasn’t played in over a month, which is why he’s expected to start the match on the bench.
The defensive trio of Mancini, Ndicka, and Hermoso has been confirmed, with the former currently on a booking and at risk of suspension for the final league match away to Verona.
