Rensch ruled out as Roma name squad for Fiorentina Serie A opener | OneFootball

Roma have named their squad for this evening’s Serie A opener against Fiorentina, but Devyne Rensch misses out with a right thigh flexor issue.

Lorenzo Pellegrini’s absence was expected, the captain is still recovering and worked separately during pre-season.

Rensch had been tipped to make it, however the muscle problem in the flexor of his right thigh has ruled him out. He was unlikely to start, yet is considered the first reserve for Wesley on the left or Nahuel Molina on the right.

In response, Gian Piero Gasperini has called up 19-year-old right-back Emanuele Lulli, who trained and featured with the first team in pre-season.

Fiorentina have travelled without Fabiano Parisi, and there is uncertainty over Moise Kean’s inclusion from the off, with the Italy forward reportedly having an agreement in place with Como.
