Roma gear up for a crucial Serie A clash tomorrow, May 4th, as they host Fiorentina in their penultimate home game of the season at the iconic Stadio Olimpico. With just hours to go before kickoff, manager Gian Piero Gasperini is fine-tuning his lineup, and today's training session will be key to resolving any lingering doubts.
In a welcome boost for the Giallorossi, the injury list is shrinking. Manu Koné has returned to full team training after a spell on the sidelines and looks set to feature. With Neil El Aynaoui suspended, Gasperini is reportedly leaning on the French midfielder to start, injecting some much-needed energy into the engine room.
Up front, the attack remains a tantalizing puzzle. Gasperini is weighing up options between Niccolò Pisilli and Matias Soulé, but the growing temptation to pair the magical Paulo Dybala with Donyell Malen is hard to ignore. The only certainties in the starting XI are No. 18 and Malen, who have guaranteed spots.
However, Dybala's involvement hinges on his fitness. According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Gasperini will test "La Joya" in today's session to gauge his stamina and decide how many minutes he can contribute. The Argentine maestro's presence could be the game-changer Roma need in this pivotal home fixture.
