Marash Kumbulla was able to make his second consecutive start for the first time this season given Roger Ibanez’s suspension.
The Albanian defender gave a solid performance in the Giallorossi’s win over Fiorentina and was subsequently praised by Jose Mourinho in post-match media appearances.
Moreover, Italian journalist Emanuele Zotti reports that Kumbulla ended up playing tonight’s full match despite having broken a finger in his left hand in Roma’s Coppa Italia outing with Genoa.
