The backbone is confirmed with Hummels, Paredes and Joya
December is month of truth for Claudio Ranieri and Roma. Starting this evening against the Lecce you can’t make any more mistakes and the almost 60,000 at the Olimpico expect an answer. Artem Dovbyk he got the call-up, but this week he never trained with the group, writes Daniele Aloisi on The Messenger. Also yesterday individual session after the flu of the last few days and the usual problem with my left knee. To get out of a complicated situation, top players are needed and the backbone will be made up of three world champions: Hummels, Paredes e Dybala. Paulo was tried as a false 9. A role he already held in the match against Torino. In that case goal and victory. But Shomurodov he’s heading towards a starter’s shirt. Ranieri doesn’t touch it three-man defense. Hermoso returns to the squad (he hasn’t played since the disaster in Florence) but starts from the bench. Make room for the trio who did well for long stretches both in London and against Atalanta. They will be there in front of Svilar Mancini, Hummels e I’m sorry. The German recovered quickly from a slight back injury. In the middle of the field the couple Koné-Paredes. Out of the squad Cristante who has not yet recovered from the sprained left ankle. The last time he missed a match with the Giallorossi shirt due to injury was in November 2022. Out again The Fairysame fate for Pisilli who returns from disqualification and will be useful during the ongoing match. On the flanks there is room for Saelemaekers and Angeliño. Riposa Celik who has played practically all of them this season. There are still many doubts about Lorenzo’s presence from the 1st minute Pellegrini. Ranieri doesn’t abandon the 3-4-2-1. Possible chance for Shomurodov with Dybala and El Shaarawy behind him. The captain risks starting out for the third match in a row. He has not yet found the net in the first 14 of the championship (zero also in Europe). He hasn’t started so badly since the 2019/2020 season. In that case the first goal came in the seventeenth against Fiorentina. It’s difficult, however, not to see him at least in the second half. This evening he hopes to find a less hostile Olympic stadium. Ranieri wants to field a more attacking team than the one seen on Monday against Atalanta.
