Sassuolo v Roma, likely line-ups: Manu Koné and Thorsvedt doubtful | OneFootball

At 3:00 PM, the match between Sassuolo and Roma will take place, valid for the 8th day of Serie A. Here are the doubts of the two coaches ahead of the final choices.

Sassuolo-Roma: Grosso doesn't change the trio, Gasperini will have to do without Angelino

Roma, coming off a poor performance in the Europa League against Viktoria Plzen, seeks redemption against Fabio Grosso's Neroverdi to catch up with Napoli, who soared to the top of the standings after last night's victory against Inter.

Gasperini will rely on Svilar between the posts. In front of him, forming the trio, Celik, Mancini, and Ndicka are favored over Ziolkowski and Hermoso. On the wings, Wesley returns on the right side, while on the left there will be either Tsimikas or Rensch, with the Greek favored for a spot after Angelino's injury. In the midfield, Cristante is certain of the first spot, while the other should go to Konè who took a hit but should still make it, otherwise El Aynaoui is on standby. Up front, the trio should include the South American duo Dybala-Soulé behind Dovbyk, favored for a spot over Ferguson, but there's the false 9 hypothesis. If Dybala takes on this role, Lorenzo Pellegrini will complete the lineup alongside Soulé.

Fabio Grosso's Sassuolo, on the other hand, has few doubts: Muric is assured a spot in goal, as are Walukiewicz, Idzes, Romagna, and Doig in defense, given the significant absence of Muharemovic. The only doubts are in the midfield, where if one spot is assured for Matic, the other two are contested by Koné, Thorstvedt, and Vrancx, with the first two slightly favored over the former Wolfsburg player. Up front, the Laurienté-Pinamonti-Berardi trio is untouchable.
