Lorenzo Pellegrini returned to Trigoria earlier than anticipated.

The Roma skipper made his return to the Italian capital this morning after being sent off last night in the Nations League match against Belgium.

In his place, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti called up former Giallorossi player Nicolò Zaniolo.

The Atalanta player is expected in Coverciano this afternoon.

In the meantime, Pellegrini will be at Ivan Juric’s full disposal as Roma begin preparations for the match with Inter on 20 October.
