Kone ruled out vs Bologna, El Aynaoui to take his place | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini is also missing Manu Koné. Tonight, at 6:45 PM, Roma will face Bologna at the Dall’Ara stadium in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie, but the Giallorossi coach will be without the French midfielder.

This morning, the Giallorossi took to the field for a final training session before the match, but the number 17—as reported by Sky Sport—has suffered a muscle strain. He will be unavailable, but could be on the bench at best.

Neil El Aynaoui is ready to replace Koné.

Gasperini will rely on the Moroccan midfielder to replace the 2001-born player.

Niccolò Pisilli will complete the midfield, with Bryan Cristante acting as a striker.

The Giallorossi coach expected to have no midfielders missing, but he’ll have to address this issue as well.

Tonight, he’ll be without Gianluca Mancini, suspended, in defense, all the known attacking absences, and, last but not least, the French midfielder.
