Roma breathed a sigh of relief after the results of Evan Ndicka’s medical tests.
The verdict ruled out any muscle injuries: it’s merely inflammation. He won’t be sidelined for long.
The Ivorian defender’s presence against Atalanta remains in doubt, however, given that the match is scheduled for Saturday at 8:45 PM, in two days’ time.
This won’t be a problem for Gasperini, who has multiple options to fill in for the 1999-born defender.
Gian Piero Gasperini has several options to replace Evan Ndicka.
As Corriere dello Sport reports, on the one hand, there’s the possibility of keeping Ghilardi, who had a good performance at the Via del Mare against Lecce, by moving Mancini to the center, while on the other, there’s the possibility of giving Leonardo Balerdi his debut at the Stadio Olimpico.
The former Marseille player had barely trained before the last league match, which is why the Giallorossi coach has decided to trust Ghilardi. On paper, Balerdi is the replacement for Ndicka, and he seems ready to start.
In this case, Mancini and Hermoso would be confirmed as wider defenders in the back three, with Mancini on the right and Hermoso on the left.
