Pellegrini scans awaited; Colombo to referee Napoli-Roma; English interest in Wesley
Lorenzo Pellegrini's scans are due tomorrow after he left the pitch during the match against Slovan Bratislava with a muscle problem in his right thigh. Speaking after the game, Gian Piero Gasperini suggested he could be out for around 20 days, but the instrumental tests will give a clearer picture of the diagnosis and recovery time for the number 7. Andrea Colombo of the Como section will referee Napoli-Roma on Saturday at 18:00 at the Maradona, with Bindoni and Rossi as assistants, Sacchi as fourth official, Aureliano on VAR and Meraviglia as AVAR. Roma's record under Colombo is five wins, five draws and one defeat in eleven matches. His most recent Roma games include a 2-1 win over Atalanta and a 2-2 draw in Naples last season. Napoli's record under him is seven wins, one draw and three defeats in eleven meetings. Wesley's form for Roma has attracted attention in the Premier League, where Manchester United are reportedly monitoring the Brazilian winger and could try to bring him to England as early as January. Gasperini has been clear: the player is considered untouchable and the club do not intend to sell him in the winter window. Chelsea also tested the water in the summer with a €50 million offer, which was rejected by Trigoria. Roma would only consider a proposal that is significantly higher. Pruzzo, speaking to Radio Radio, said: "The two matches after Real were needed, because they gave presence and satisfaction. It is a pity that the strikers, in these games, are the ones who should have more space: Castro does not play. I am sorry that Castro never plays. Mora did not take advantage of the opportunity, he is not ready for this stage. It seems to me that it is time to think about another striker." Pes, speaking to TeleRadioStereo, said: "De Roon and Cristante have the same characteristics, I do not think they can play together. De Roon can manage a game from the bench, he has played all of them so far. For me, Cristante-Pisilli is the right pairing. It seems to me it was also the pairing last year, because Koné was injured."
