AS Roma vs Lazio – Match preview and team news Date: Sunday, 17th May.

Kick-off: 11am BST. Venue: Stadio Olimpico, Roma. AS Roma team news Gian Piero Gasperini’s side heads into the Derby della Capitale with a mixed bag of fitness updates, highlighted by major boosts in attack but a fresh worry in midfield.

Both Lorenzo Pellegrini and forward Artem Dovbyk have successfully shaken off their respective thigh injuries, resuming full training sessions with the squad. While Pellegrini will likely start from the bench, Dovbyk provides crucial coverage for Donyell Malen. However, Manu Koné remains a major doubt after his recurring muscular issues flared up again during the final training.

Roma will definitely be without forward Evan Ferguson, whose loan spell effectively ended following ankle surgery. Additionally, winger Bryan Zaragoza is sidelined with a knee injury. Also, Stephan El Shaarawy is highly unlikely to feature due to an ongoing adductor issue.
