Roma have named their 22-man squad for Saturday’s Serie A clash with Napoli, with Bryan Cristante included among the players available to Gian Piero Gasperini.
The Giallorossi travel to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, where kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 Italian time (12:00 p.m. Eastern).
Pellegrini Among Four Absentees
Lorenzo Pellegrini is absent after examinations revealed a high-grade injury at the distal musculotendinous junction of the semitendinosus muscle in his right thigh.
Paulo Dybala, Manu Koné and Mile Svilar are also missing from the squad.
Cristante’s inclusion gives Gasperini another midfield option, although the squad announcement does not confirm whether he will return to the starting line-up.
Youngsters Di Nunzio and Camara are also selected as Roma manage their injury absences.
Roma’s Full Squad Against Napoli
Goalkeepers: Vásquez, De Marzi, Gollini.
Defenders: Rensch, Koulierakis, Ndicka, Molina, Hermoso, Mancini, Balerdi, Wesley, Lulli, Ghilardi.
Midfielders: Cristante, De Roon, Pisilli, Di Nunzio, Mora.
