The Lombard technician gives an update on two key players in his team: the ex-Liverpool player will miss the match against the yellows due to a muscle injury, while the midfielder will rejoin the group on Wednesday.

Roma is set to take the field tonight against Lecce at the Olympic stadium, a match that will reveal much about Ranieri’s yellows. Then on Thursday, it’s Braga’s turn in the Europa League, followed by an away game in Como next Sunday at 6pm. The Lombards will be hunting for survival points, following a direct clash like tomorrow’s with Venice. Some lineup doubt in the coming days for Cesc Fabregas, who will be without Alberto Moreno: “The goal is to have him at 100% for Lecce, he has a hamstring strain.” He will be out for about 2-3 weeks. Sergi Roberto is recovering very swiftly. If all goes according to plan, he should return for the match against Roma. “Probably, he will return to the group on Wednesday.”
