The latest reports in Italian media suggest that Claudio Ranieri is unlikely to rely on Lorenzo Pellegrini from the start in tonight’s return leg of the Europa League Round of 16.
All predicted line-ups from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Il Tempo suggest that Pellegrini will be back on the bench after being a starter in Roma’s recent victory vs Empoli.
Against Athletic Bilbao, Ranieri is likely to include a midfield trio of Kone, Paredes and Cristante with Dybala behind Shomurodov.
On the flanks, Devyne Rensch and Angelino are expected to replace Celik and Saelemaekers.
