(ANSA) – ROME, MARCH 11 – Rome in emergency and press silence. The Court of Appeal has in fact confirmed the two-match disqualification of José Mourinho for the expulsion of Cremona, agitating the days before the match against Sassuolo. A match in which Llorente, Solbakken, Pellegrini and Belotti will not take part. And if the Giallorossi captain had to put 30 stitches on his head after a game clash in the match against Real Sociedad, the ‘Gallo’ underwent an operation this morning to reduce the fracture in his hand. A way to have him available already on Thursday, when, if he serves, he could play with a brace to protect his arm.
In the meantime, he will not be there tomorrow against Sassuolo, and for this reason his absence, together with those of Pellegrini and Solbakken, create several problems for the Special One which finds itself with numbered men between attack and midfield. For this he will have to ask Dybala for overtime again on the trocar. He will most likely have to do the same with Matic in the midfield, despite Bove clawing for a place alongside Wijnaldum. More replacements, however, on the wings with Zalewski and Spinazzola who will take the place of Karsdorp and El Shaarawy, the latter forced to move to the frontline.
Confirmations between goal and defence, as well as in the stands, because tomorrow too there will be sold out. Furthermore, the Giallorossi fans, as a sign of protest against sporting justice, are organizing a ‘panolada’ for the kick-off, inviting everyone to bring a white handkerchief to wave. (HANDLE).
