Kone, Venturino to recover vs Verona, Pellegrini remains out
Kone, Venturino to recover vs Verona, Pellegrini remains out At the Bentegodi, Roma prepares for their final match of the season against Hellas Verona, a match that could secure Champions League qualification for the Roman side. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team will be without two key players: Wesley, suspended, and Ndicka, out after an injury sustained in the derby. The absence of the French defender, who has provided stability and solidity to the defence for much of the season, presents a challenge that must be carefully managed ahead of a crucial match.
Good news, however, comes from Koné, who trained on the pitch yesterday and is aiming to return to the team as early as today. The French midfielder could therefore be available for the final match of the season, giving Gasperini another option in midfield and ensuring the quality and physicality needed to face the Venetians. Lorenzo Pellegrini, still absent yesterday, has less of a chance as he is trying to recover for the decisive match.
The former Roma captain remains a doubt, however, with the medical staff continuing to monitor his condition in the coming hours. Venturino is also close to returning: the player, who has been training separately in recent days, could join his teammates in the next few training sessions, offering Gasperini further options to complete the starting eleven. The match at the Bentegodi, as Il Tempo highlights, represents not only a technical but also a psychological challenge, with the team called upon to demonstrate concentration and determination until the final minute, in a match that could seal their Champions League qualification after a high-pressure season.
