Pellegrini favored to start in Como-Roma

Pellegrini favored to start in Como-Roma Gian Piero Gasperini is ready to welcome back the remaining players who have been on international duty, preparing for the trip to Como, scheduled for Sunday at 12:30 PM. Mora, Castro, Soulé, and Balerdi will return to Trigoria in the next few hours. The only player unavailable will be Cristante, who is recovering from a knee injury. Good news from yesterday’s training session for Gasperini: Malen and Wesley completed part of the group session and will be back on the pitch at the Sinigaglia stadium. The only player the Grugliasco-born coach hasn’t been able to field so far this season is Lorenzo Pellegrini. The Giallorossi’s number 7 has overcome the injury that kept him out of action and is a contender for a starting spot against Fabregas’ side. Among the last players returning to Trigoria will be Rodrigo Mora and Matias Soulé. Both are in contention with Lorenzo Pellegrini to partner Paulo Dybala behind Malen. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the number 7 is the favorite to start against Como. The Giallorossi midfielder is ready to play alongside La Joya, providing support for the Dutch striker.
