Ziolkowski or Celik to Replace Hermoso
Roma is confronting another injury challenge as Mario Hermoso has suffered a muscle injury during training. This setback will prevent him from traveling to Cremona for the upcoming match. Although early assessments indicate that the injury is not severe, Hermoso will undergo further tests in the next few hours. The team is hopeful for his return in time for the game against Napoli next week.
Potential Adjustments in Defense
With Hermoso sidelined, coach Gian Piero Gasperini faces crucial decisions regarding the defensive lineup. He is weighing two main options for filling the gap left by Hermoso.
Option 1: Celik in a Defensive Role
The first potential adjustment involves moving Celik back into a defensive position. Should this occur, he would join Mancini and Ndicka in the center of defense. This configuration may enhance the team’s defensive solidity and allow Wesley and Tsimikas to operate effectively on the wings.
Option 2: Introducing Ziolkowski
The second scenario includes bringing young talent Ziolkowski into the starting lineup. By placing him alongside Mancini and Ndicka, the team could retain its wing players unchanged, preserving their tactical advantage.
- Mario Hermoso’s Condition: Muscle injury
- Upcoming Match: Cremona vs. Roma
- Next week’s Anticipated Match: Roma vs. Napoli
- Defensive Options: Celik or Ziolkowski
As Roma prepares for the match, these strategic adjustments will be critical in maintaining their competitiveness in the league. The coaching staff will closely monitor Hermoso’s recovery while planning for the best defensive setup in his absence.
