Roma reject Newcastle summer friendly; Borussia Dortmund confirmed for August

AS Roma have declined a proposed summer friendly against Newcastle United at St James' Park, according to reports from England. The Magpies, managed by Eddie Howe, will need to find alternative opponents after receiving the rejection from the Giallorossi. Roma's decision to turn down the match reflects their choice to pursue other pre-season arrangements.

Instead, Roma will prepare for the new season with a confirmed friendly against Borussia Dortmund on August 15, just one week before the Serie A campaign begins. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini will use the fixture against the German top club to test his squad's readiness ahead of competitive action. The club has also scheduled a second summer friendly against Cannes, another team owned by the Friedkin Group, to be held in Rome.

These pre-season arrangements allow Gasperini to assess his players' fitness and tactical preparation during the critical final stages of summer training. The Dortmund match in particular offers Roma a valuable test against elite opposition as they build toward the start of the domestic season.

I giallorossi affronteranno comunque un altro top club come il Borussia Dortmund il 15 agosto Redazione 9 giugno - 20:27 Dal sogno al dramma: Wesley perde il sorriso Nel pomeriggio è arrivata la notizia della seconda amichevole estiva della Roma che si giocherà nella Capitale contro i "cugini" del Cannes (altro club di proprietà dei Friedkin), mentre dall'Inghilterra arriva il retroscena di un match che è stato invece rifiutato dai giallorossi. Si tratta del Newcastle che - come riporta il giornalista Lee Ryder - ha ricevuto un "no" da parte della Roma al test che si sarebbe dovuto giocare al St James’ Park. La squadra di Eddie Howe dovrà trovare altri club dopo che i giallorossi hanno optato per soluzioni diverse. Di certo c'è che Gasperini potrà testare la preparazione dei suoi ragazzi a una settimana dall'inizio del prossimo campionato contro un top club: confermata l'amichevole del 15 agosto con il Borussia Dortmund. © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura News AS Roma Roma-Cannes, fissata l'amichevole.
