For tomorrow’s match, Ranieri will have his full squad available: Hermoso is back after more than a month, and Pisilli returns after serving his suspension.
Roma is ready to return to the field against Lecce. Tomorrow’s match will be the second consecutive at the Olimpico. In an intense preparation for the upcoming clash with the Salentini, the Giallorossi undertook their final training at Trigoria. Unfortunately, Cristante was sidelined, engaging in individual training exercises along with Dovbyk. Claudio Ranieri had nearly the entire squad at his disposal: individual work was carried out by Dovbyk who, as announced by the coach in yesterday’s pre-match press conference, has been struck by a bout of the flu and is dealing with the usual knee problem. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian forward has been called up for tomorrow evening’s match. Cristante is out, having suffered an ankle sprain in the last game against Atalanta. For tomorrow’s game, Ranieri will have the entire team at his disposal, considering the return of Hermoso after more than a month, and the return of Pisilli who has served his suspension. Meanwhile, there is less than a month until the January market and Nicola Zalewski will be free to negotiate with another club at zero cost for the next season. The issue of renewing his contract is no longer considered a top priority at Trigoria, given the player’s performance and his difficult situation, even from an environmental perspective.
I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that. The situation seems unlikely to change in the coming days as we move towards bidding farewell to the Polish player who has grown up at Trigoria. He has played there among the youth and primary team since 2011. However, he will not be renewing his contract and is tempted by Mourinho. In fact, Ryan Friedkin, the vice-president of Roma, arrived this morning at Trigoria. Ryan Friedkin is back in Trigoria, and tomorrow he’ll be at the stadium for the match against Lecce. It’s been since September that Friedkin was last seen. It remains to be seen how the Giallorossi fans will react to the return of Ryan to the iconic Olimpico. The presence of the Friedkin family in the Capital undoubtedly signifies a gesture of alignment and support for the “new” coach and the whole team. As far as the market is concerned, the trail leading to Giacomo Raspadori continues to heat up. With Conte, indeed, the former Sassuolo player is not getting any room and has already made it known to his agent that he wants to find another arrangement so as not to miss out on the National Team in the year leading up to the World Cup qualifications. Roma is indeed one of the prized locations, and in Trigoria, there is indeed a need for a forward capable of boosting a rather horrifying goal average thus far. This would not be a deputy to Dovbyk, but rather a second striker who could also play alongside the Ukrainian, thus representing a dual solution for Ranieri. However, it’s unlikely that Raspadori will leave Napoli permanently, especially since he was bought back just a year ago for 27 million, with a contract signed until 2028. The only option is that of a loan.
