Torino vs Roma: Dybala and Malen set for action, Pisilli tipped to start

Source: TeleRadioStereo

Roma face Torino in Serie A on 14 September at 18:30, four days after their Champions League return, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini managing squad rotation following the trip to Istanbul.

The starting XI appears largely settled, though midfield and the right flank remain open questions. Svilar will start in goal, with the familiar trio of Mancini, Ndicka and Hermoso in defence; Ghilardi is the alternative. Wesley is expected to hold the left-back spot, while the right side is contested between Lulli and Rensch, with Lulli marginally favoured, though Gasperini indicated in his press conference that his condition would need to be assessed before the match.

The main shift could come in midfield. Manu Koné picked up a knee problem against Fenerbahçe, opening the door for Nicolò Pisilli to partner Bryan Cristante; Koné has attempted recovery and remains an option. Dybala and Donyell Malen are set pieces in attack, with Matías Soulé the likely choice to complete the forward line, while Rodrigo Mora stands ready either from the start or as an in-match solution. The probable Roma formation is 3-4-2-1: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Lulli, Cristante, Pisilli, Wesley; Soulé, Dybala; Malen.

Story Coverage5 sources on this story

Roma face Torino in Serie A on 14 September at 18:30, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini managing squad rotation after the midweek Champions League fixture. All five outlets agree on a 3–4–2–1 formation, with Mile Svilar in goal, a defensive line of Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, and Mario Hermoso, and Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé supporting Donyell Malen as the central striker. Bryan Cristante and Wesley are also consensus selections for midfield and left-back respectively.

The main uncertainties concern two positions. At right-back, Corriere della Sera, Il Tempo, and Il Messaggero favour Emanuele Lulli over Devyne Rensch, though TeleRadioStereo notes Gasperini indicated his condition would need assessing before the match. In midfield, outlets split over whether Manu Koné or Nicolò Pisilli will partner Cristante. Corriere della Sera selects Koné, while Il Tempo, Il Messaggero, and Il Romanista prefer Pisilli. Roma News and Forza Roma report that Koné trained separately as a precaution following his knee problem against Fenerbahçe, with Pisilli primed to make his first Serie A start. Dybala is being managed carefully after leaving Istanbul with cramps, though Forza Roma suggests rotation with Soulé and Rodrigo Mora may depend on Gasperini's final decision before the international break.

Roma Flash: Pellegrini back in squad for Turin, Gasperini seeks ninth straight league win

Roma travel to Turin on 14 September with their full squad available and Lorenzo Pellegrini in the matchday group for the first time this season after a lengthy absence. The squad selection remains fluid ahead of the fixture: the defence is expected to feature Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka and Mario Hermoso, but uncertainty persists across the flanks, midfield and attack. Emanuele Lulli, Devyne Rensch and Nahuel Molina are competing for a starting place on the right, while Niccolò Pisilli and Manu Koné are in contention alongside Bryan Cristante in the middle. Up front, Matías Soulé and Rodrigo Mora are head-to-head for selection, though Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen are guaranteed starting positions. Roma carry an open run of eight consecutive Serie A victories into the match—five secured in the closing stages of last season and three in the opening rounds of the current campaign. Gian Piero Gasperini's side will pursue a ninth straight win to reclaim the league lead. The head coach faces a contrasting duel with opposing manager Ignazio Abate: Gasperini has 640 Serie A matches on his bench, placing him fifth in the all-time standings and closing in on Nils Liedholm's tally of 644. Abate, by contrast, is appearing in only his fourth Serie A match in charge. Roma Primavera, meanwhile, play at home today: at 15:00 they face Como at the Agostino Di Bartolomei ground in Trigoria, with coverage on Sportitalia. The youth side aim to remain unbeaten in the fourth matchday following a comeback victory in the Youth League against Fenerbahce. A starting confirmation is expected for Paratici with Morucci in attack, while Cama is highlighted among young players to watch closely.

Mattioli backs Roma to overcome Champions League fatigue, calls for Castro to play soon

Roma radio commentators have weighed in on the club's fixture schedule and squad rotation ahead of the international break. Mario Mattioli of Radio Radio mattino argued that fatigue from Roma's Champions League match will not be a significant factor, saying: "I believe the physical impact of the Champions League match is relative; four days of rest are more than sufficient for properly trained athletes. The physical impact will not have an effect except perhaps in the first few minutes. I hope Castro is used as soon as possible—it would be a shame to let him lose his rhythm. I don't believe in tiredness anyway; Roma has the numbers to impose themselves, the players have adapted to Gasperini's system and the squad gives confidence." Roberto Pruzzo and Nando Orsi also addressed squad conditioning and selection priorities. Pruzzo noted that Paulo Dybala is in optimal condition after a good preparation period, and stressed the importance of depth: "Playing on Thursday and then in the league is complicated; there is a need for Castro and Mora to be able to change things." Orsi focused on Dybala's mental state and recovery, noting that Gasperini observes the player closely during the week and recognizes Dybala's current need for playing time. Mattioli's intervention reflects broader debate among Rome's radio commentariat about squad management under Gasperini, with Castro emerging as a key figure in rotation plans ahead of the international break.

Lulli tipped to start at right-back as Roma travel to Turin

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.

Lulli set to start at right-back as Roma face Torino

Roma travel to Torino on Sunday evening to face the Granata, with formation uncertainties emerging over the selection of one full-back position and midfield. Multiple Italian newspapers have published their predicted line-ups ahead of the fixture. The main variation concerns right-back, where Emanuele Lulli appears favoured by three outlets — Corriere della Sera, Il Tempo, and Il Messaggero — over Devyne Rensch, who featured in Corriere dello Sport's projection. Manu Koné and Niccolò Pisilli compete for a midfield slot; Corriere della Sera selects Koné alongside Cristante, while Il Tempo, Il Messaggero, and Il Romanista prefer Pisilli in that role. All five newspapers agree on a 3–4–2–1 shape, with Mile Svilar in goal, a back three of Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, and Mario Hermoso, and an attacking duo of Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé supporting Donyell Malen as the lone striker. Bryan Cristante and Wesley complete the midfield picture across the consensus forecasts.

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

Roma travel to Torino this evening at 18:30 in a Serie A fixture where head coach Gian Piero Gasperini faces selection uncertainty over key players. Manu Koné and Wesley's fitness has been a concern, though Wesley is expected to feature with Emanuele Lulli across the defence, while the French midfielder could drop to the bench to allow Niccolò Pisilli to start. Leonardo Balerdi is challenging Gianluca Mancini for a defensive spot, though Mancini appears likely to retain his place. Matías Soulé is favoured ahead of Rodrigo Mora in attack. The Italian press has offered varied predictions on Roma's lineup for the match. La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Messaggero expect a 3-4-2-1 formation with Balerdi in defence, while Corriere dello Sport, Il Tempo and Corriere della Sera all project 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2 shapes with Mancini retaining his position. Leggo suggests Daniele Ghilardi could feature at centre-back, with Rodrigo Mora deployed as an attacking midfielder. Mile Svilar is set to start in goal, with Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen completing the attacking unit across most predicted lineups.
