Roma played a test match against Sorianese yesterday at Trigoria to maintain their rhythm and prepare for Sunday’s 12:30 pm match away to Como.
The final score was 20-0. Everyone was present except for Argentinians Soulé, Castro, and Balerdi, along with Cristante, the only injured player.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Gasperini was convinced by Rodrigo Mora, who is now in pole position in the race for the third-choice attacking jersey.
The Portuguese attacking midfielder, therefore, could complete the Roman side’s attacking lineup alongside Dybala and Malen at Sinigaglia.
The 2007-born player is also coming off a break during which he shone for Portugal’s Under-21 team, particularly with an overhead kick.
Rodrigo Mora could start against Como for tactical reasons as well. Fabregas plays with a back four, just like Fiorentina and Atalanta, the two matches in which the 2007-born player started.
