The marathon continues. Less than 72 hours after the winning recovery in Udine, Roma return to the field and do so at Maradona against Calzona’s Napoli, to try to consolidate a fifth place which would mean the Champions League.
To do this, De Rossi will not be able to count on the suspended Llorente and Paredes, in addition to the unavailable Lukaku and Smalling. All four remained in Trigoria working and will be available for Thursday, when Roma face Bayer Leverkusen, in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. There will also be the English centre-back, whose instrumental tests carried out yesterday on his groin revealed no injuries, but a simple resentment.
Instead, there will be Ndicka. Evan is back available after the scare two weeks ago in Udine. The pneumothorax has healed and the Ivorian will start from the 1st minute alongside Mancini in defence. The line of four in front of Svilar will be completed on the right with Celik – disqualified in the cup – and on the left by Angeliño, slightly favored over Spinazzola in the ballot.
In midfield, Bove will replace the suspended Paredes on a numerical level, acting as a right midfielder. On the left, Captain Pellegrini, while Cristante will climb into the control room. Lukaku’s still orphaned attack will be guided by the quality of Dybala, with El Shaarawy on the other side and Azmoun as center forward. The Iranian is ahead of Abraham, who will still be able to find space during the ongoing match. The tour de force it has begun, everyone is needed.
