Muscle Woes sideline Rensch for Roma's Serie A Opener
24 Aug
Summary
- Devyne Rensch is unavailable for Roma's Serie A opener due to muscular issues.
- Lorenzo Pellegrini remains sidelined as he recovers from a previous injury.
- Youngster Emanuele Lulli has been called up to bolster the defense.
Devyne Rensch has been excluded from the Roma squad for their opening Serie A match against Fiorentina this evening. The defender is dealing with muscular problems affecting the flexor of his right thigh.
Lorenzo Pellegrini's absence from the lineup was anticipated, as the Italian midfielder is still in the recovery process from a prior injury sustained earlier in the year. He has been training separately during the pre-season.
With Rensch unavailable, coach Gian Piero Gasperini has enlisted 19-year-old right-back Emanuele Lulli. Lulli has previously trained and played with the first team during the pre-season period.
Fiorentina is also facing squad considerations, with Fabiano Parisi absent and uncertainty surrounding Moise Kean's starting position as he reportedly nears a deal with Como.
