Roma will have to play the Derby della Capitale without one of their key players.

The Giallorossi are in fact looking to face their city rivals, Lazio, without Evan Ndicka leading the defense alongside Gianluca Mancini.

Ndicka was booked in the opening minutes of last night’s draw with Lecce which amounted to his fifth yellow card.

As a result, the Ivorian centreback has been suspended for one Serie A matchday.

According to Il Tempo, De Rossi is likely to replace him with Diego Llorente who offers more experience in a difficult match such as the Derby.
