As Roma prepare to face Juventus in a crucial Serie A matchup tonight, manager Daniele De Rossi is poised to make significant changes to his starting lineup. The Giallorossi, looking to bounce back from disappointing results against Cagliari and Empoli, are set to introduce some fresh faces in their bid to secure a positive outcome before the international break.
According to reports from Il Tempo, French midfielder Manu Koné is in line to make his Serie A debut. The talented youngster is expected to replace Bryan Cristante in the starting XI, forming a midfield trio alongside Leandro Paredes and Lorenzo Pellegrini. This tactical adjustment could provide Roma with a new dynamic in the center of the park against a strong Juventus side.
In addition to Koné, recent acquisition Alexis Saelemaekers is also predicted to make his first appearance for Roma. The Belgian winger, known for his versatility and work rate, is likely to feature in an attacking trident alongside Artem Dovbyk and Paulo Dybala. This offensive lineup suggests De Rossi is adopting an ambitious approach for the high-profile clash.
