Gasperini hails Rodrigo Mora's talent and swift adaptation

Gian Piero Gasperini held his pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow's visit to Torino, rejecting suggestions of a squad hierarchy. "Please stop talking about hierarchies, it's not fair to the players who are giving their all," he said. "It makes no sense for these players—they're all making an important contribution. Ghilardi is growing, there's Koulierakis." Emanuele Lulli will be available for selection after recovering from a virus intestinale (intestinal virus) that struck him in recent days; the 2007-born defender from Palestrina is expected to start. On Paulo Dybala's availability, Gasperini was blunt: "If he's well, he plays." The forward has been in excellent form and started in all four league matches so far this season. Lorenzo Pellegrini returns to the squad after his absence, a significant boost for Roma's midfield ahead of the trip to Turin.

Roma return to Serie A action tomorrow at 18:30 away to Torino, seeking to build on their opening Champions League draw. The Giallorossi drew 1–1 at Fenerbahce on their European debut and now face Ignazio Abate's Torino, who recently won a comeback victory over Fiorentina. A win at the Olimpico Grande Torino would leave Roma on maximum points after four matches, with a match against Inter scheduled five days later. Gian Piero Gasperini will address the press at 13:30 on Tuesday from Trigoria. Gasperini confirmed that Lorenzo Pellegrini is fit and available for selection. The squad list also includes Manu Koné, who completed a fitness test during the day, Wesley following a knee knock, and Emanuele Lulli after a bout of fever. In his pre-match conference, Gasperini spoke warmly of recent performances, particularly Donyell Malen's impact since arriving. On Rodrigo Mora's integration into the attack, Gasperini said: "I see what you all see—he is a talented, young player, and that is not considered. He must improve physically and tactically. What he has shown is a young player of talent and level. There is not a younger player who can be more of a protagonist at this moment." When asked whether defensive hierarchy could shift, Gasperini pushed back strongly: "Please stop with this hierarchy talk, it is not right towards these players. It makes no sense for them, it has no effect for the squad. Everyone is giving an important contribution. Balerdi did remarkable things at Marseille, we have to play a lot. A team in the Champions League does not work with hierarchies, but there are many starters who play without promoting one and rejecting another, otherwise it becomes something controversial." The full squad for Torino includes defenders Devyne Rensch, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Evan N'Dicka, Nahuel Molina, Mario Hermoso, Gianluca Mancini, Leonardo Balerdi, Wesley, Emanuele Lulli and Daniele Ghilardi; midfielders Bryan Cristante, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Marten de Roon, Manu Koné, Niccolò Pisilli and Rodrigo Mora; forwards Santiago Castro, Donyell Malen, Matías Soulé and Paulo Dybala.

Torino manager Ignazio Abate has issued a detailed assessment of Roma ahead of tomorrow's fixture, describing Gian Piero Gasperini as a revolutionary figure in modern football while acknowledging the scale of the challenge his side faces. Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Abate framed the encounter as an important test in Torino's development following their recent victory at Florence, though his squad arrives with injury concerns: Adams is sidelined by an adductor problem, while Simeone remains doubtful owing to a back injury. Abate outlined both the tactical demands and the psychological requirements for his team to compete. "It's a good test, we need to keep growing and the journey is still long," he said. "The win at Florence has given us lightness and awareness; the lads believe in what they do, but there is much to improve. Tomorrow we face a strong squad, living a brilliant moment with great individuals. We are ready after a positive week." He emphasised the defensive discipline needed to withstand Roma's intensity: "You must defend with 10 men and attack with 10. Tomorrow we need a top-level defensive phase, the anger of not conceding and negative thinking in defence. We go forward on the positive signals from Florence." Abate reserved particular praise for Gasperini, identifying the hallmarks of his coaching philosophy. "He has been a revolutionary of modern football in the way he presses, man-to-man marking, vertical play and invading the area with many men. He has revolutionised modern football; his career speaks for itself. Tomorrow is not a maturity test, but one step in a journey begun a few months ago. It is a difficult stage, but we too have our weapons to deploy." Recognising Roma's aggression and their ambitions, Abate stressed that possession management would be crucial: "With Gasperini matches are always difficult. They will want to suffocate us and we won't have the control we had at Florence. Everything will depend on how we manage the ball. Quality will be needed to turn the play around because you cannot think of playing only on the counter. It will be a match similar to Monza. I want to see different aspects from the Monza game. We have had a week of quality and intensity." Abate confirmed Coco is fit, but acknowledged the wider injury situation. Adams is ruled out, and Simeone's availability will be assessed before the match: "We will make evaluations. We have two other forwards in the squad, or perhaps we start without forwards. Let's see, we will wait until tomorrow morning to understand how Simeone is. We have alternatives; we will make virtue of necessity." Zapata received positive news: "He trained well all week; his knee has given positive responses."

Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen are set to start in Roma's match against Torino, with uncertainty centring on the attacking midfield role. Niccolò Pisilli may begin the game, though Rodrigo Mora is also in contention. Manu Koné has recovered from his previous issues and is available for selection. Gasperini continues to manage squad dynamics ahead of the fixture. The coach has dismissed talk of a strict hierarchy among his attacking players, insisting that Dybala is in good form and cannot be left out. He has also defended midfielder Marten de Roon against criticism, rejecting the suggestion that the player's form has deteriorated.
