Roma has Nicola Zalewski back in the group. The winger returned today to complete the entire training session with the rest of his teammates. Last week he only did the athletic part and not the technical part. Now he is aiming for Thursday’s match against Athletic Bilbao. The Giallorossi will make their debut in the Europa League and it will be Ivan Juric’s first time at international level
THE CASE – Zalewski ended up out of the squad after the failed sale to Galatasaray for 11 million euros, including bonuses and a percentage of the future resale. The about-face did not please the club, which then sidelined him. Former coach Daniele De Rossi had declared in a press conference that everything depended on his contract extension. And in the coming days this will also be discussed with the agent. The management of the case, however, did not please the Friedkins, who reported it to CEO Souloukou, who resigned yesterday.
THE POSSIBLE 3-4-3 – Juric has had the idea of fielding Roma with a 3-4-3 in his head for days. He tried this last week with Dybala wide on the right. This is why he insisted a lot on bringing back Zalewski: “We are a bit few on that side,” he said yesterday in a press conference. The Pole represents another arrow on that flank with El Shaarawy who can also play as a fourth midfielder. Waiting to welcome back Saelemaekers who will return towards the end of November.
