Reading time less than a minute.Jonathan Rowe temptation at Atalanta for the match against Roma of former Gasperini and de Roon, scheduled for Saturday, September 5 (at 20:45) at the Olimpico.
Competition with Raspadori
The Englishman has trained little with the team but Sarri needs more liveliness in attack and the former Bologna winger is competing for a starting spot with Raspadori in the 4-3-3 attacking trio which should be completed by Scamacca in the center and De Ketelaere on the right.
Bernasconi favored
Doubts also in other departments. Hien and Sulemana are out, among the 23 called up there is also Kristensen, back in the group after the ankle sprain that forced him to miss the last games, but the Dane should start from the bench with the confirmation of the central pair Kossounou-Scalvini in the back four completed on the right by one between Bellanova and Zappacosta and on the left by Bernasconi, favored over Kolasinac.
Kessie on the bench
In midfield Gaetano should be confirmed in the role of playmaker, with Ederson as left mezzala alongside the winner of the Pasalic-Samardzic competition. Likely initial bench for Kessie who could debut during the game, but the final training session in Rome on the morning of Saturday, September 5 will be decisive.
