Gasperini to rely on Kone-Cristante duo vs Sassuolo | OneFootball

In the most challenging week of his Roman spell so far, Gasperini can breathe a sigh of relief: Koné is fine.

The blow to his left ankle against Viktoria Plzen was painful, but only a bruise: no tests, no swelling, today he finished his training session and, in all likelihood, he’ll start tomorrow against Sassuolo.

Gasp isn’t giving up on the Cristante-Koné partnership: the alternatives have had little impact.

El Aynaoui remains a puzzle (only one start and 48 minutes in the others), Pisilli has found playing time sparingly.

Pellegrini’s move back remains an option.

Without Koné, Roma is struggling: when he hasn’t started (10 times), the record has been 5 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw.
