Roma to rotate starting line-up ahead of Athletic clash: Koné, Hermoso and Baldanzi looking to start

Roma have launched preparations for this week’s Europa League fixture with Athletic Club.

After collecting their first win of the season on Sunday with Udinese, the Giallorossi will look to extend the positive streak as they begin this year’s Europa League campaign.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Ivan Juric is expected to implement some changes in his starting line-up.

Lorenzo Pellegrini – who exited Sunday’s match with an icepack on his knee – will likely be rested with Tommaso Baldanzi ready to slot in.

Dybala should be confirmed, barring physical problems, at his side, thus composing an all-left-footed trident.

The other changes could be in the middle of the pitch, where Paredes could be preferred to Pisilli.

Manu Koné and Mario Hermoso are also projected to start, with Angelino taking El Shaarawy’s place on the left wing.
