Serie A: Roma vs. Pisa – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV
Roma’s injuries haven’t cleared up just yet, which means that Gian Piero Gasperini could name an unchanged Giallorossi XI against Pisa in Serie A on Friday evening.
Roma are hoping to get their Champions League mission back underway when they host Pisa at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 BST on Friday evening. The Giallorossi currently find themselves in sixth place on 54 points after 31 matches, three points off Juventus in fifth and four points off Como in fourth. They were beaten 5-2 away against table-toppers Inter last time out.
Visitors Pisa remain rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table on 18 points having won just twice in Serie A all season. The most recent of their victories came in a 3-1 win over Cagliari on March 15, but they have since gone on to lose 5-0 to Como and 1-0 to Torino in the weeks since.
Roma are still without key players in Paulo Dybala, Manu Kone and Wesley Franca for tonight’s clash against Pisa. Gasperini confirmed during his pre-match press conference that Wesley and Kone could potentially ease their way back into the group next week, as could centre-back Gianluca Mancini. Evan Ferguson and Artem Dovbyk also remain out with longer-term issues.
With a lack of real alternative options, Gasperini is likely to name an unchanged XI, despite his side’s 5-2 loss against Inter last weekend.
Pisa are without Marius Marni and Daniel Denoon through injury, while Lorran and Samuel Iling-Junior have not been called up on technical choices.
Rafiu Durosinmi is back and eligible again after serving his suspension, and could be thrown straight back into the starting line-up against Roma.
Kick-off is due at 19.45 BST.
