Pisilli set for midfield role, Soulé leads the line as Roma prepare for Torino

Roma face Torino in the late afternoon on 14 September with a full squad available. Gian Piero Gasperini has recalled Lorenzo Pellegrini to the squad for the first time this season after an extended absence, though the manager will need to handle his reintegration gradually. All media outlets agree on the back three protecting Svilar: Mancini, N'Dicka and Hermoso remain unchanged. The key debate centres on the right-back position. Lulli is favoured by three of the five newspapers surveyed—Corriere della Sera, Il Tempo and Il Messaggero—all of which lineup him alongside Cristante, Pisilli, Wesley in midfield and Soulé, Dybala, Malen in attack. Corriere dello Sport instead selects Devyne Rensch, while Il Romanista opts for Nahuel Molina, who would line up with Manu Koné in place of Pisilli and Rodrigo Mora ahead of Soulé.

Gian Piero Gasperini has named his full squad for Roma's away match at Torino, but a last-minute injury to Wesley has cast doubt over the left-back's availability. The Brazilian sustained a minor physical problem during the final training session on 13 September and, although Gasperini included him in the squad list, his starting place is at serious risk. Should Wesley fail to feature, Devyne Rensch is the favoured option to fill the left flank, with Emanuele Lulli set to cover the opposite side. Positive news arrived from other areas of the squad. Manu Koné has made a full recovery and trained normally with his team-mates, putting him in contention to partner Bryan Cristante in midfield alongside Niccolò Pisilli, who currently holds a slight edge for a starting berth. Paulo Dybala has also recovered completely from cramps sustained in the closing stages of Thursday's Champions League match and will be available to operate on the attacking line in support of Donyell Malen, Roma's sole striker. In defence, Gasperini appears set to continue with the same unit that has provided tactical consistency: Gianluca Mancini at centre-right, alongside Evan N'Dicka and Mario Hermoso, tasked with containing Torino's attacking threats and building play from the back.

Roma face Torino today with the chance to build momentum ahead of their Champions League fixture against Inter, according to analysis from several Italian radio commentators. Simone Valdarchi told Radio Manà Manà that Torino can create difficulties for Roma, and warned that the team must maintain focus rather than rebuild after the recent draw against Fenerbahçe. He stressed that today's match carries significant weight: "Roma-Inter will take on a different importance if you arrive at full points after four matches. The Torino match is a fundamental challenge if you want to enter the Champions League." Calendar distractions aside, Valdarchi believes players must concentrate solely on the Torino fixture. Gabriele Conflitti echoed the view that today represents an awkward assignment. "Dybala must not be treated as a display piece—he should play," Conflitti said on Radio Manà Manà. "Today is a tricky match. Torino have put us in difficulty many times down there. Abate coaches them well, especially physically." Piero Torri added: "I hope Castro scores, but the important thing is that you win against Torino today. Because if you take the victory home you go against Inter at full points: that's important." The commentators underlined that a win in Turin would leave Roma positioned ideally for the Inter encounter.

Gian Piero Gasperini will make no changes to Roma's back line for the forthcoming match, with all players fit and available for selection. Lorenzo Pellegrini returns after 157 days out, while Manu Koné has shaken off a minor knee inflammation that kept him training separately during the week; he completed the full session with teammates only yesterday and is eager to start. The midfield contest is wide open, with Niccolò Pisilli holding a slight edge and having been paired with Bryan Cristante in training. Emanuele Lulli, who missed Saturday's session due to a stomach virus, has recovered and is a candidate for his fourth consecutive league start despite being only 19 years old—a prospect also eyeing his first Italy call-up. Gasperini's defensive setup remains unchanged: Mile Svilar in goal, backed by Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka and Mario Hermoso across the three, with Wesley at left-back. The attacking midfield presents another selection dilemma. Matías Soulé holds a marginal advantage over Rodrigo Mora, though Gasperini will decide in the coming hours. There is no uncertainty around Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala. Malen has failed to score in his last two matches and has never gone three consecutive games without a goal since arriving in the capital.
