Pellegrini undergoes surgery to clear inflammation from previous tendon operation

Source: Forza Roma

Lorenzo Pellegrini has undergone a minor surgical procedure in Finland to clean inflammation from the scar tissue of his May 2025 operation on the right thigh rectus femoris tendon. The Roma captain will miss training today and tomorrow, when the squad travels to Wales for the second phase of their summer retreat. Pellegrini travelled to Finland to consult with Prof. Lempainen, one of the club president's trusted specialists.

Pellegrini's contract with Roma expired on 30 June, marking 29 days without an official giallorosso agreement in place. However, a new deal between player and club has been substantially agreed. The contract will run until 2028 on a two-year basis, worth a net €2.5 million annually plus performance bonuses, with an option in Roma's favour to extend the agreement by one further season through 2029.

Lulli fit for Torino trip after overcoming intestinal virus

Emanuele Lulli will be available for Gian Piero Gasperini in Roma's match against Torino on 14 September after recovering from an intestinal virus he suffered in recent days. The 19-year-old, who plays as a defender, is expected to start in the Serie A fixture at Stadio Olimpico-Grande Torino, the club's fourth league match of the season. Lulli had contracted the virus without fever, according to Sky Sport journalist Angelo Mangiante. The Palestrina-born player had featured in Roma's opening three Serie A games before being named on the bench for the Champions League debut at home against Fenerbahce. He will train normally today, though the fitness of Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini remains under observation.

Influenza hampers Lulli as Roma prepare for Torino; Koné and Pellegrini decisions pending

Emanuele Lulli missed training on 12 September with influenza ahead of Roma's Serie A clash against Torino on 14 September at 18:30 at the Stadio Olimpico-Grande Torino, a fourth-round fixture. The 19-year-old defender hopes to recover in time for the match and undergo a decisive final training session. Gian Piero Gasperini will hold his pre-match press conference at Trigoria at 13:30 on 13 September, with an eye toward rotation given Roma's three fixtures in just over a week—including a Champions League match against Fenerbahce and a home encounter with Inter the following Saturday. Koné and Pellegrini are also focal points of Friday's training assessment. The French midfielder has a knee issue that is not a major concern but will not be risked; he trained separately on 12 September, meaning Niccolò Pisilli is expected to start alongside Bryan Cristante in midfield at Torino. Pellegrini is hoping to earn his first squad call-up of the season. Lulli, a 19-year-old from Palestrina, is keen to face Torino's Cacciamani, who recently renewed his contract with the Turin side, and to perform in front of national team coach Mancini, who is scheduled to attend the match according to reports.

Lulli Expected to Train Normally Ahead of Torino Fixture

Emanuele Lulli has been cleared to train with Roma's squad on 13 September after a brief health scare resolved. The defender had caused concern in recent hours over an influenza syndrome that threatened his availability for the upcoming fixture, but according to reporter Angelo Mangiante, the situation has stabilised. Lulli is present at Trigoria and will participate in the day's training session with the team. Gasperini can now count on the 2007-born defender for selection, barring any fresh complications. Lulli's status had been uncertain during the morning, with the influenza syndrome risking his involvement in Roma's next match, but the alarm has passed and he is available for the manager's consideration.
