Nicola Zalewski continues individual training at Trigoria

Nicola Zalewski is ruled out for tonight’s league engagement with Empoli as the player has been forced to forfeit the match due to muscle fatigue he suffered following Roma’s defeat to Ludogorets in Bulgaria on Thursday.

The Polish international’s status for Roma’s upcoming EL affair with Helsinki and Atalanta in Serie A on September 18th are yet to be determined at this point with earlier reports suggesting Zalewski may be back after the international break.


For the time being, the 20-year-old continues to train individually at Trigora in hopes of speeding up the recovery process. In his place, Jose Mourinho will start Leonardo Spinazzola.
