Roma name 23 for Genoa with six players unavailable

Roma will face Genoa with five injured players and one suspended player unavailable, but Gian Piero Gasperini has named a 23-man squad for Saturday’s Serie A match. The club’s announcement confirms the call-ups, not the starting XI, so the absentees’ identities and Roma’s eventual lineup are not specified.

The squad includes goalkeepers Vasquez, De Marzi and Gollini. Defenders named are Rensch, Koulierakis, Ndicka, Molina, Hermoso, Mancini, Balerdi, Wesley, Lulli and Ghilardi. Pellegrini, De Roon, Pisilli, Di Nunzio and Mora are the midfielders, while Castro, Soulé, Arena, Paratici and Camara are the forwards.

That leaves Gasperini with 23 named options across the four listed positional groups, despite the six unavailable players. The squad list gives a picture of who is available to the coach, but it does not establish who will start or how Roma will line up against Genoa.

Roma enter the match third in the table with 14 points from six games. They are unbeaten, with four wins and two draws. Genoa are 17th on four points, having recorded one win, one draw and four defeats.

The teams meet at Roma on Saturday, 17 October, with kick-off at 20:45 CEST. For Roma, the immediate team-news headline is the six absences; the next confirmed step will be the starting lineup, which the club has not yet announced. Genoa arrive in the capital looking to improve a record of one win in their first six league matches.
