After celebrating their derby victory against Lazio, Roma must immediately look ahead.

Their Europa League debut is on the horizon: tomorrow evening at 9:00 PM, the Giallorossi will play in Nice.

Gasperini is considering some lineup changes to give the starters a rest, with the possibility of making room for new signings.

Yesterday morning, the team trained at Trigoria ahead of the trip to France.

The good news for Gasperini concerns Wesley. As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the Brazilian has recovered from his gastrointestinal issue and has been working regularly with the group.

Hermoso has also returned after the calf strain that sidelined him last week.

The situation is different for Bailey and Dybala, who have undergone individual training: their focus remains on the October 2nd match against Lille.

Given the strain of the derby and the upcoming match against Verona, Gasperini is expected to rotate his squad for the first time.

Tsimikas and Ghilardi are expected to make their debuts in defense, while El Aynaoui is expected to partner Koné in midfield.

Dovbyk, ahead of Ferguson, will warm up up front, with Soulé in support and either El Shaarawy or Pellegrini completing the attack.
