Pellegrini hoping to make first season appearance vs Como

Pellegrini hoping to make first season appearance vs Como Lorenzo Pellegrini is working to return to the spotlight with Roma. The Giallorossi midfielder is using the international break to regain top form and focus on the match against Como on October 11th at 12:30 PM. The match against Como, according to Il Messaggero , could be a special occasion for Pellegrini, who, if he plays, would equal Damiano Tommasi’s 350th appearance for the Giallorossi. This achievement would further cement his place in the club’s history books, climbing to twelfth place in the all-time appearances ranking. Pellegrini’s relationship with Roma has also been strengthened by the decision he made in the final stages of his career. The player had the opportunity to move to Vincenzo Italiano’s Besiktas in the summer, with the possibility of signing a more lucrative contract, but apparently decided to stay in the capital. The midfielder’s desire is to remain a part of the Giallorossi project and demonstrate to Gian Piero Gasperini that he can compete for a starting spot. Currently, however, Pellegrini is lower down the coaching hierarchy. Ahead of him, according to the manager, are players like Soulé and the young Mora. The season, however, will be long and busy: between October and November, Roma will face numerous fixtures, and Gasperini will need to expand his rotation.
