Lorenzo Pellegrini and Chris Smalling will remain out of Roma’s squad list for the upcoming Europa League affair with Sheriff Tiraspol.

According to La Repubblica, both players are behind in the recovery process, still nursing muscle injuries, and Mourinho does not wish to rush their return.

While Houssem Aouar is set to return to the manager’s starting eleven on Thursday night, Smalling and Pellegrini will remain in the Italian capital with the objective of recovering for the weekend fixture with Torino.
