Ferguson to start in Genoa showdown, Hermoso recovers | OneFootball

The air at the Olimpico is charged with electricity for the final act of matchday seventeen.

The match between Roma and Genoa is not only a crucial crossroads for the Giallorossi’s pursuit of the Champions League, but also represents a bond of love that sees Daniele De Rossi return home, this time in his new role as an opponent on the Ligurian bench.

Gian Piero Gasperini, despite an injury that continued to knock on the door at Trigoria until a few hours ago, seems to have resolved his reservations after this morning’s training session.

The most anticipated news concerns the defense. Mario Hermoso, plagued by a nagging groin pain, passed the crucial trial at the “Fulvio Bernardini” stadium.

According to Sky Sport, the Spaniard will be fully back in the starting three, alongside Mancini and either Ziolkowski or Rensch.

Up front, the emergency remains the main issue.

With Dovbyk still struggling, Pellegrini and Bailey sidelined, and Tommaso Baldanzi out of the squad due to a feverish attack, the Piedmontese coach is expected to focus on Evan Ferguson from the start.
