Pellegrini tries, Mou studies the mix between owners and supporting actors
A Trigoria yesterday the usual “day after” of the match saw the team divided into two groups, including those who took part in the Conference League with the Bodo / Glimt and who instead remained to watch. Pellegrini, Viña, Spinazzola and Smalling have individual jobs. The Giallorossi captain, struggling with a left knee inflammation, is trying to recover and sees in the list of players called up for Penzo’s away match is not to be excluded a priori. Lorenzo knows how important his presence is for the team, which ran out of ideas in the Olimpico match against the Norwegians, and in Cagliari it was he who made the difference. A the decision will be made today, with Mourinho which will evaluate, also considering that after Venice it will be the turn of the third break for the national teams (Lorenzo has been summoned).
Different speech for Matias Viña, which is instead reduce from a minor injury to the destroyed adductor and for this reason was not called up for the Conference League game who left Roma in second place in the group. Uruguayan will be recovery after the break, Mou is likely to choose the same defense he played on Thursday night. And after the break we will have different certainties also for the long-term patients Smalling and Spinazzola. Mou for Venice will reflect on the freshness and reliability of men: probable a mix between very titular (with El Shaarawy in confidence – and Perez not disfigured – Micki could start from the bench) and supporting actors (still trust Abraham or can Shomurodov and Borja Mayoral advance?). In Serie A I’ll be back also Felix. The Romanists will be more than a thousand between the guest sector and the rest of the plant, in the hope that despite the lunch match you will arrive at the stop with a full stomach.
