Roma are looking to shake off their frustrating Europa League loss to Real Betis with a strong showing against Lecce this evening.
The match between the Giallorossi and the Salentini kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Jose Mourinho still doesn’t have a full Roma squad available to him and four players have been ruled out through injury. Zeki Celik, Rick Karsdorp, Ebrima Darboe and Georginio Wijnaldum are all absent and Lorenzo Pellegrini is in doubt due to a flexor issue.
Marco Baroni’s only injury concern for Lecce is defender Kristjan Bistrovic, whose out with a chest problem.
Roma’s last outing was a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Real Betis and they’ll be looking to fire themselves up this evening ahead of their return clash with the Spanish side.
Lecce picked up an edgy 1-1 draw with Cremonese last weekend and they’ll be hungry to pull off the upset as they look to distance themselves from a possible relegation battle.
