Malen and Wesley return to full training as Roma prepare for Como trip

Rodrigo Mora is in line to start on the trequarti for Roma's trip to Como on Sunday, having impressed with Portugal Under 21 with a goal and an assist across three matches. Matías Soulé will train with the main group for the first time on 9 October, while Lorenzo Pellegrini returns after six months out through injury. Mora started today against Sorianese, putting him ahead of both teammates in the pecking order according to Sky Sport. Pellegrini featured in the second half of that friendly. The forward pairing of Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala is unchanged. At the back, Evan N'Dicka is favored over Leonardo Balerdi, while Marten de Roon steps in midfield in place of the injured Bryan Cristante.

Roma continue to monitor Endrick ahead of the winter transfer window, with the Brazilian's playing time at Real Madrid set to prove decisive in the coming months. The forward was tracked by Roma last summer, but Real Madrid opted to retain him and Endrick chose to remain in Spain. A loan move could become possible in January if his minutes fail to improve, according to Fabrizio Romano. Endrick has recorded just four minutes of action since the season began, a scarcity of game time that fuels speculation about his future. Romano stated: "Real Madrid closed the door to any negotiation in the previous transfer window, a decision shared by the player himself. However, playing time over the next two months will be decisive in determining whether to complete the season at Madrid or to seek a loan exit after his previous loan spell at Lyon." Roma are monitoring developments closely, ready to intervene if Real Madrid open the door to a temporary move. However, competition is intense—both Milan and Aston Villa are also tracking the situation, keen to explore whether January presents a concrete loan opportunity. Much for Roma will depend on the conditions Real Madrid impose and Endrick's own desire for greater continuity. The next two months will be crucial in determining whether the file can develop into a genuine negotiation.

Roma are searching for a striker ahead of the January transfer window, with competition from Milan, Manchester United and Aston Villa for their primary target. According to Fabrizio Romano, a final decision on the future of the Brazilian forward has not yet been made, with the next two months proving decisive. Playing time will be the crucial factor: if the current trend continues—the player has managed just 4 minutes so far this season—the door could open for interested clubs. A year ago the Real Madrid talent moved on loan to Lyon, and a similar outcome cannot be ruled out as a possibility.

Roma travel to Como on Sunday at 12:30 with the aim of maintaining their position at the top of the table. Gian Piero Gasperini has confirmed that Donyell Malen and Wesley are fully fit after both featured in a friendly played today, recovering from earlier absences. Gasperini has minor doubts in defence but expects to field Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka and Mario Hermoso as his back three, with Leonardo Balerdi pushing for a place after returning from a trip overseas. Marten de Roon will replace Bryan Cristante in midfield alongside Manu Koné, while Nahuel Molina and Wesley occupy the flanks. Rodrigo Mora is set to start as an attacking midfielder, ahead of Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini, with Donyell Malen leading the line. Roma's probable formation: Svilar; Mancini, N'Dicka, Hermoso; Molina, Koné, De Roon, Wesley; Dybala, Rodrigo Mora; Malen.

Rodrigo Mora is set to win the third attacking slot for Roma's Serie A trip to Como on Sunday, according to Sky Sport's Angelo Mangiante. The Portuguese midfielder impressed in a training match at Trigoria this morning against Sorianese alongside Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen, who has recovered from injury. Mora appeared in sharp form following his appearances with Portugal Under 21 and has convinced head coach Gian Piero Gasperini to deploy him at the Sinigaglia stadium. The selection would complete an attacking trident built on technique, quality and ability to move between the lines. Mora is seizing his opportunity after a productive international break with Portugal's youth side.

Roma's squad completed a training session at Trigoria on 8 October ahead of Sunday's 12:30 kickoff against Como at the Sinigaglia. Donyell Malen and Wesley trained fully with the group and are set to start, while Manu Koné and Rodrigo Mora have just returned from international duty and participated in the session. The Argentine players Leonardo Balerdi, Matías Soulé and Santiago Castro underwent a recovery session. The Roma squad was bolstered by the return of Koné and Mora after their national team commitments. Malen and Wesley's availability is a significant boost for Sunday's fixture. The training included a friendly match against Sorianese, a team from Italy's top regional division.

Roma played a friendly against Sorianese, a team from the Eccellenza league, this morning in preparation for their Serie A match against Como on Sunday, three days away. The fixture served as a joint training session to build sharpness before the league encounter. Manu Koné and Rodrigo Mora featured in the friendly, while Matías Soulé, Leonardo Balerdi and Santiago Castro sat out after returning yesterday and completing a recovery session. Donyell Malen and Wesley have recovered fully from their respective injury problems and are available for selection. Bryan Cristante remains sidelined with a knee injury and is unlikely to feature even in Wednesday's Champions League fixture against Real Madrid. Marten de Roon is ready to step in during his absence. The friendly allowed Gasperini's squad to maintain match fitness while managing the recovery of players returning from international duty ahead of a demanding fixture list.
