Roma's AFCON Dilemma: Ndicka & El Aynaoui's availability hangs in balance

The availability of Roma players Evan Ndicka and Neil El Aynaoui for upcoming matches is currently uncertain as they await responses from the Ivory Coast and Moroccan football federations regarding their Africa Cup of Nations call-ups. Both players were scheduled to join their national team training camps on December 15th but have remained with the club, training at Trigoria.

The situation is fluid, with more clarity expected soon, potentially during Gasperini's press conference. While Morocco's tournament starts on December 21st and Ivory Coast's on December 24th, it's more likely Ndicka will be released sooner. However, their potential long-term absence due to their countries being strong contenders could significantly impact Roma's squad.
