Before Svilar (or Ryan), there’s room for Celik, Ndicka, and Hermoso. In midfield, Leandro returns to pair up with Pisilli.
This marks the first Coppa Italia game for Roma, who aims to bounce back following Sunday’s crushing defeat against Como. In a forced defense move, Ranieri must make do without Mancini and the prominent Hummels. Up against Svilar (or Ryan), there’s room for Celik, the remarkable Ndicka, and Hermoso. Returning to midfield is Paredes, who will partner with Pisilli. It’s a showdown between Dovbyk and Dybala upfront. Doubts about the flanks: on the right, it’s a choice between Saelemaekers and Saud, while on the left, the contest is between Angeliño and Zalewski. This could be Zalewski’s chance. Bench for Le Fée and Baldanzi.
