Europe is back, and so is Hermoso.
Ziolkowski’s equalizer against Panathinaikos prevented Roma from making the Europa League play-offs, allowing them to play only once a week for the last forty days.
This advantage was only partially exploited due to the numerous injuries. We now enter a decisive phase of the competition, where mistakes are out of the question.
On Thursday, Roma will be at the Dall’Ara stadium for the first leg of the round of 16. And Gasperini will be able to rely on Hermoso, who has overcome the physical problems of recent weeks.
Yesterday, the Spanish defender returned to training with the team and is aiming for a call-up to the match against Bologna.
This is an important recovery considering Mancini will be absent.
The Giallorossi number twenty-three, in fact, will have to serve the suspension he picked up in Athens and will be available again for the return match at the Olimpico.
Small encouraging signs are also coming from Soulé. Rest is helping the Argentine overcome the pain from his pubalgia. The former Frosinone player is feeling better and began individual training yesterday.
