Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini is unlikely to recover for Sunday’s match with Empoli.

Only less than three days to Roma-Empoli, Lorenzo Pellegrini is still out with a muscle injury.

The midfielder has not recovered and, according to Sky Sport, is expected to be out of Jose Mourinho’s squad list on Sunday.

Gianluca Mancini, however, has recovered and could be included in the starting eleven on Sunday along with Nicola Zalewski. Both regularly trained with the rest of the team today.
