Roma fined €3,000 by Sports Judge; Juventus escapes heavy sanction in Mazzola case

Roma continued their conditioning work at Trigoria on 22 September, refusing to ease off during the international break. The squad's next match is scheduled for 11 October against Como, but Gasperini kept the players sharp with athletic sessions despite the pause in fixtures. Among those training were Paulo Dybala and Mile Svilar, alongside several players using the stoppage to rebuild match fitness after recent struggles or late arrivals to the squad. Nahuel Molina, Marten de Roon and Lorenzo Pellegrini were the focus of Gasperini's attention during these weeks without competition. Molina, an Argentine midfielder, suffered fatigue from a long World Cup campaign but had recently rediscovered sufficient form; Gasperini aims to have him at peak condition for a demanding run of fixtures in October. De Roon, who joined late in the transfer window after being sidelined in Maurizio Sarri's plans at Atalanta, follows a similar recovery path. Pellegrini, the captain and number 7, earned his first squad call-up this season in the match against Torino and must complete his athletic rehabilitation after missing the summer preparation alongside his teammates. He will use these weeks without matches to conduct a mini pre-season programme. Also training were Pierluigi Gollini, Devyne Rensch, Vasquez and Giorgio De Marzi under Gasperini's close observation. Three players were absent: Bryan Cristante due to lower back pain, Donyell Malen with a knee complaint, and Wesley sidelined by a muscular strain.

AS Roma's proposed new stadium at Pietralata has passed a critical administrative milestone after the State Superintendent's office issued a positive environmental impact assessment. The approval was published on the Rome City Council website and carries no objections to the release of the environmental impact evaluation (VIA). The ruling comes with a series of binding requirements focused on protecting archaeological remains found in the project area. Archaeological excavations must be completed before construction work begins. The developer must incorporate the Roman villa discovered on the site into the stadium design, and a Roman cistern in the area must be integrated into the new facility's plans. Tunnels that emerged during survey work require further study, and any potential demolition will require approval from the Lazio Regional Commission for Cultural Heritage. The Superintendent also mandated improvements to the site's landscaping, including an increase in the number of trees, greater vegetation diversity, and green screening solutions for the parking structures. The next procedural stage arrives on Monday, 28 September, when the final session of the Services Conference is scheduled. This represents another decisive juncture in the administrative process that will guide the project toward the subsequent execution phase and eventual opening of construction.

AS Roma has paid tribute to Sergio Carpanesi, the historic midfielder who has died at the age of 90. The club expressed its condolences on social media, honouring a figure who played a central role in Roma's history during his time at the Stadio Olimpico. Carpanesi represented Roma between 1961 and 1967, a period in which he established himself as one of the club's prominent midfielders. During his spell in the Giallorossi shirt, he won one Coppa Italia and one Coppa delle Fiere, accumulating 193 appearances and scoring 4 goals. The club extended its sympathy to his family and loved ones following his passing.
