Tommaso Baldanzi has been excluded from AS Roma’s lineup for their match against Genoa tonight due to illness. The attacking midfielder has been sidelined with a fever, making him unavailable for this crucial fixture. As a result, Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini is likely to turn to either Evan Ferguson or Stephan El Shaarawy to fill the void up front alongside Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé.
Baldanzi’s absence is significant as he was expected to play a key role in the team’s attacking strategy. This development comes as the Giallorossi aim to end their year in Serie A on a high note. In addition to Baldanzi, Artem Dovbyk has been called up for the match; however, due to fitness concerns, it is improbable that the Ukrainian international will start.
Furthermore, Spanish defender Mario Hermoso may not be at full capacity, which could lead to Jan Ziółkowski stepping in for the defensive lineup. The official squad for the clash against Genoa includes goalkeepers Vasquez, Gollini, and Svilar; defenders such as Rensch, Angelino, Tsimikas, and others; along with midfielders Cristante, Kone, Romano, and Pisilli; and forwards Dovbyk, Ferguson, Soulé, Dybala, and El Shaarawy.
With the team facing challenges due to player absences, there remains hope that the selected squad can still deliver a strong performance against Genoa. The final match of the year presents an opportunity for Roma to finish on a positive note in front of their home fans.
