AS Roma face Napoli in a Serie A clash on Sunday, with both teams looking for three points in their push towards the top of the table in what should be an exciting Derby del Sole.
Roma recently got back on track with a convincing 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, where Donyell Malen found the net in a strong display.
They have only slipped up once lately, losing 1-0 away to Udinese on 2 February, and were held to a 1-1 draw by AC Milan at home in late January.
Roma currently sit fifth on 46 points, level with fourth-placed Juventus but behind on goal difference, and they also have a game in hand to potentially climb higher.
AS Roma team news
Gian Piero Gasperini still has several fitness problems to manage in his squad. Paulo Dybala felt discomfort in training late in the week and could miss out again, after appearing to have shaken off the knee issue that kept him out of the previous two matches before it flared up once more.
Mario Hermoso is still sidelined by a foot problem, although Gasperini has explained that it is mainly a heavy bruise and the expectation is that he should be ready to return next week.
Matias Soulé is a doubt as well, having been “playing through a sports hernia”, as Gasperini has put it, and this week has been more difficult for him than the recent ones; he will be assessed on the day of the game.
There is some better news for Roma, as Robinio Vaz has recovered quickly from a calf issue and has trained normally for most of the week, so he should be available as an option up front behind or alongside Donyell Malen. Evan Ferguson and Manu Koné, however, are still unavailable and will not feature.
AS Roma predicted lineup
Possible AS Roma starting XI: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Ghilardi; Celik, Cristante, Pisilli, Wesley; Zaragoza, Pellegrini; Malen
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Sunday, 15th February.
