9:43 AM ET — Andrea Di Carlo: Nahuel Molina dealing with discomfort ahead of Fiorentina match
According to Andrea Di Carlo, Roma are also monitoring Nahuel Molina after the Argentine experienced some physical discomfort and was not considered fully fit.
Federico Lulli is preparing to start on the right flank if Molina does not recover in time, while Devyne Rensch has already been ruled out with a left-hamstring problem.
Gian Piero Gasperini has named his available players for tonight’s match, with Devyne Rensch ruled out by a muscular problem.
Gian Piero Gasperini has released Roma’s squad list for tonight’s Serie A opener against Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Giallorossi coach has selected 23 players for the first match of the 2026/27 campaign, including summer signings Konstantinos Koulierakis, Nahuel Molina, Rodrigo Mora and Santiago Castro.
Devyne Rensch is absent after suffering discomfort in his left hamstring. According to Lorenzo Canicchio and Lorenzo Pes the Dutch defender will therefore be unavailable for the match.
His absence leaves Gasperini with a decision to make on the right flank. Ricky Trevisani and Mana Sport report that young Federico Lulli is competing with Molina for a place in the starting lineup.
Molina is included in the squad but may not yet be ready to complete the entire match, while Lulli impressed Gasperini during the preseason and was publicly confirmed as a member of the first-team squad.
Rodrigo Mora is also available and could make his official Roma debut after completing his transfer from Porto. The Portuguese youngster is among the options in midfield and attacking areas alongside Paulo Dybala, Matias Soulé and Donyell Malen.
