Stephan El Shaarawy is getting ready to represent Roma colours for the 200th time tonight, as the Giallorossi face Ludogorets in a crucial Europa League fixture which will determine the team’s future in this competition.
The Italian attacker is going through a positive spell, scoring with Helsinki and helping Roma seal a much needed victory at the Stadio Bentegodi on Sunday.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the ex-Milan man has formed an excellent rapport with Jose Mourinho in the Special One’s second season in the Italian capital.
To Mourinho, El Shaarawy offers versatility and experience, which is likely to motivate him to use the 30-year-old from the start in tonight’s match at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
