AS ROMA NEWS – The recent injury to Lorenzo Pellegrini during international duty is making Mourinho’s job more difficult as the team prepares for the resumption of the league. The midfield is currently missing key players, as Aouar and Renato Sanches are also sidelined.
If the match against Empoli were to be played this Sunday, Mou would only have Cristante, Paredes, and Bove available for the midfield. Fortunately, the Portuguese coach will have another week to prepare for the match against the Tuscan team, and he hopes to recover the two valuable additions from last season’s transfer market.
Houssem Aouar and Renato Sanches are the reinforcements expected to bring a different dynamic to the midfield. Aouar combines quantity with quality and can be the link between the midfield and the attack. Sanches, on the other hand, is the level of box-to-box midfielder that Roma was desperately missing. With these two players at their best, the team would significantly improve in the midfield.
All eyes are also on Romelu Lukaku, who will start for Belgium in the match against Azerbaijan this afternoon. Physically strong, fast, and equipped with a powerful shot, the former Inter forward is the striker who can change a team’s fortunes. All Lukaku needs is match fitness, and today’s minutes on the field will also be useful for the match against Empoli on Sunday 17th.
Romanisti are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping for a stroke of good luck to aid these valuable additions to the team. With them on the field, Roma can start climbing towards the higher positions in the standings.
