Gasperini to hold press conference at Trigoria tomorrow

Gian Piero Gasperini will hold a press conference at 13:30 tomorrow ahead of the Derby della Capitale against SS Lazio. The match kicks off on Sunday at 12:00 in what is the penultimate round of Serie A. Roma cannot afford to drop points if they hope to maintain their Champions League aspirations. Gasperini has almost his entire squad available for selection, with Ferguson the only confirmed absentee. A question mark remains over the attacking midfield position, with competition between Soulé and Pisilli, while Malen and Dybala are expected to lead the attack. Approximately 50,000 spectators are anticipated at the Olimpico, the vast majority supporting Roma; Lazio fans are expected to boycott the match in protest against their club's management. When asked about his own future at the club, Gasperini stated: "I here on 1 July? I hope so, everyone must be satisfied."

Roma's Primavera side face Hellas Verona on the final day of the regular season in a match with significant playoff implications. Victory would secure fourth place and home advantage in the playoff phase, while also giving Roma two favorable outcomes from three possible results. Coach Guidi stressed the importance of the fixture and urged his team to avoid the mental pitfalls that come with playing under pressure. Guidi highlighted finishing as a seasonal weakness despite the squad's strong overall play. He said: "A Verona will be a very important match for us, because we're playing for the chance to host the playoff match and have two results out of three available. The approach will be decisive, trying to play carefree, following what we did in terms of build-up, possession and continuity of play with Sassuolo, clearly improving in the finishing phase, which is somewhat our seasonal regret of a defect. We must be better at converting the large volume of play the team produces and be more incisive in front of goal." He also noted that Verona, with no objectives remaining, could play freely and create an unpredictable challenge. Regarding squad availability, Guidi confirmed the team is in good physical condition. Mirra is unavailable due to a shoulder problem sustained against Sassuolo, while Tumminelli's season has ended. Other squad members are fit for selection, with disciplinary suspensions to be reset after the Verona match.

Gianluca Mancini has emphasized Roma's focus as the club enters the final and decisive phase of the season. The defender stressed maximum concentration on the race for Champions League qualification. Mancini's message reflects Roma's commitment to securing a top-four finish in Serie A. The club is in the closing stages of the campaign with the European berth as a key objective for the remainder of the season.
