Roma await UEFA’s verdict on Zaniolo’s ban later today

Following the official submission of their appeal on Friday, Roma are eagerly awaiting UEFA’s verdict regarding the potential reduction of Zaniolo’s three-match ban in Europa League.

The capital club are hoping to have the sentence reduced to two games, in order for the 23-year-old to be available for Thursday’s crucial return leg at the Olimpico with Ludogorets.


As reported by Il Tempo, UEFA are expected to communicate their final verdict later today.

From a physical point of view, Zaniolo’s condition is no cause for concern – the Italian newspaper informs – after he exited the match with Hellas Verona due to a painful knock to the thigh.
