The anticipation for the Rome derby between Roma and Lazio is reaching fever pitch, even as some confusion lingers over the exact schedule. For Giallorossi fans, this isn't just another match—it's a pivotal moment in the season, and manager Gian Piero Gasperini is already fine-tuning his starting XI to ensure there are no costly mistakes.

According to Sky Sport, Gasperini will have a key weapon at his disposal: Lorenzo Pellegrini. The Italian attacking midfielder, known for his clutch performances in high-stakes games, is set to be called up for the derby and will be fully available. Starting tomorrow, Pellegrini—wearing the iconic number 7—will rejoin full team training and will be pushing hard to earn a spot in the starting lineup. His ability to unlock defenses and deliver in big moments could be exactly what Roma needs to tip the scales in their favor.

While Pellegrini's return is a major boost, Gasperini will still be without Evan Ferguson, who won't be back in time and is awaiting the green light to return to Brighton. However, there's hope on the horizon for Artem Dovbyk. The Ukrainian striker is a potential call-up for the Lazio clash, giving Roma another attacking option as they look to dominate the derby. With nearly everyone else available, Gasperini has a deep squad to choose from—and that depth could make all the difference in this heated rivalry.
