Karsdorp returns to Roma’s starting line-up with Real Sociedad

Jose Mourinho is expected to keep the number o changes for tonight’s showdown in San Sebastian down to a minimum, relying on his more experienced players including Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala, Nemanja Matic and Bryan Cristante.

According to Italian media reports, Gini Wijnaldum will start on the bench with the pair of Matic and Cristante controlling Roma’s midfield.


Moreover, Mourinho is expected to prefer Rick Karsdorp over Nicola Zalewski despite the Polish international scored his first goal for the club on Sunday with Sassuolo.
