Kick-off: 7:45pm BST. Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Roma. AS Roma team news AS Roma enters this crucial clash grappling with a severe injury crisis that leaves manager Gian Piero Gasperini with limited options.

The midfield is hit hardest, with Lorenzo Pellegrini sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury and Manu Koné also unavailable. The attack is equally depleted; Paulo Dybala is out following knee surgery, while Artem Dovbyk’s season has likely ended due to a muscle tear. Additionally, Evan Ferguson and Wesley remain in the treatment room.

On a positive note, the defence receives a boost as Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso are back in training and are expected to be available. Niccolo Pisilli has also recovered from an ankle twist. Much of the scoring burden will fall on Donyell Malen, who enters the match in scintillating form following a recent hat-trick, supported by Matias Soule and Stephan El Shaarawy.
