Neil El Aynaoui is also absent from the squad list. Robinio Vaz has been left out as he prepares to join Hull City pending Roma's approval and the arrival of another striker.

Eusebio Di Francesco, Lecce's head coach, previewed his side's fixture against Roma at the Stadio Via del Mare, expressing admiration for their opponents' early-season form while outlining his tactical approach to the match. Roma earned a convincing victory against Fiorentina in their opening fixture, with Paulo Dybala performing at an exceptionally high level. Donyell Malen scored a hat-trick in that same game. Di Francesco acknowledged the challenge ahead: "Malen scored three goals, Dybala is in an extraordinary condition, it is difficult to go and take them on as a team. Gasperini gives a very strong identity, we need to be good at containing their qualities." Di Francesco, who previously managed Roma, faces his former club for the first time this season. He emphasized that his preparation focuses on understanding Roma's approach rather than making sweeping changes to his own setup. He noted that Lecce have improved offensively and want to attack with more players rather than operating solely on the defensive, though this carries inherent risks. Against Gasperini's aggressive, high-pressing system, Di Francesco explained his team must balance controlled aggression with the ability to suffer defensively and create numerical superiority on the flanks, as Roma create "an offensive web" through high possession and goalkeeper involvement. On squad matters, Di Francesco confirmed midfielder Sander Ilic, a player he specifically requested in the transfer market, has trained all week and will have "some minutes". He knows Ilic from their time together at Verona and believes the midfielder, who has important qualities in both build-up play and attacking transitions, can become a key player if he finds consistency and conviction. Forward Nikola Stulic, who missed chances in Lecce's previous match against Venezia, will be given opportunity to redeem himself, and Di Francesco noted that competition from Geubbels is raising training standards for both strikers. Centre-back Tiago Gabriel remains a Lecce player "today" despite transfer rumours, though Di Francesco did not rule out changes to his starting lineup and hinted at possible surprises. Di Francesco will decide on striker Gallo's participation tomorrow morning, describing him as a doubt. He also plans to assess the impact of the ongoing stadium construction work at the Via del Mare on his team's focus and performance.

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has outlined Roma's remaining transfer priorities, stating the club needs both a left-sided attacker and a left-back. Gasperini praised Emanuele Lulli but cautioned against putting excessive pressure on the young defender as he develops. The squad already contains several attacking options including Matías Soulé, who Gasperini confirmed has received no formal offers from other clubs this summer.

Gian Piero Gasperini held a pre-match press conference ahead of Lecce–Roma on 31 August 2026, addressing the signing of Marten de Roon from Atalanta and the club's remaining transfer business. De Roon's arrival came together rapidly over 24–48 hours after he fell out of Atalanta's plans following many years at the club. "He wanted to come to Roma very strongly," Gasperini said. "For us it is an opportunity that allows us to give El Aynaoui the chance to have another experience. Economically it is very important because it gives us the opportunity to bring interest into another role." The move also allows Roma to add depth to their defence with another captain alongside new arrival Balerdi, while the physical strength these signings bring will help compensate for having too many Argentine players in the squad, Gasperini added. Gasperini reported that only Lorenzo Pellegrini and Devyne Rensch are unavailable, with Rensch expected to rejoin the group on Tuesday and Pellegrini returning next week. He confirmed Roma still need to complete their squad before the transfer window closes on Tuesday with a left-sided defender and an attacking winger. "We have always looked for a left-back and an outside attacker," he said. "If we can take two we would be 21 in the squad plus the goalkeepers." He noted that Matías Soulé can play on the left if needed, having done so under former manager Claudio Ranieri, but he prefers the Argentine higher up the pitch. Roma's financial restrictions under Financial Fair Play rules have prevented them from matching certain contract offers from rivals, though Gasperini praised the spirit of those who joined despite lower wages: "The level of contracts could not exceed a certain ceiling. We must thank all those who came back specifically to play for Roma, and this is a great spirit, and you do not buy it in the market." On the Champions League draw and upcoming fixtures, Gasperini said: "I believe they are all prestige matches; we have drawn a good group. We will go away in hot and difficult stadiums. This is the Champions League. The objective is to stay inside the play-offs. Beyond the sporting result, it will be nice to breathe the air of the Champions League, to play in extraordinary stadiums, with Real Madrid. I believe it will enrich the squad greatly." He defended the De Roon transfer against potential fan concerns: "When you know him he is a solid person. I explained how the operation was born, and it gives us the chance to have a valuable player. It is not a prospect, but it gives us the opportunity to concentrate our efforts in another role." Regarding Nahuel Molina's fitness, Gasperini said the defender "is better, he had a good week of training. He played the World Cup final, it is just a question of finding some condition. Tomorrow he will be part of the match, I do not know if at the start or during the game." The window closes on Tuesday; once it does, Gasperini said, "finally we can talk about football."
