Mats Hummels confirmed to lead Roma’s defense in Atalanta showdown

Claudio Ranieri seems to have been convinced by Roma’s defensive display against Spurs on Thursday night.

So much so, in fact, that the veteran technician is planning to confirm the defensive backline used in the Europa League in tonight’s Serie A fixture with Atalanta.

According to Il Tempo, Hummels will make his second consecutive starting appearance for Roma, alongside Ndicka and Mancini.

Celik and Angelino are set to play on the flanks with Paredes and Kone leading the midfield and Dybala, El Shaarawy and Dovbyk in attack.
