Roma’s lineup for their upcoming match against Atalanta has been announced.
Roma coach Rudi Garcia has named his 24-man squad to face Atalanta on Saturday afternoon at the Stadio Olimpico.
There are some surprises to the lineup, as the Roma coach had to get creative to fill in gaps in his injury ridden back line.
This includes the call-ups of 19-year-old defender Michele Somma and 19-year-old midfielder Arturo Calabresi from Roma’s youth team, both may get a chance to play for the Giallorossi over the weekend.
However, despite the Roma not being at full strength, the home team is still expected to win over the visiting Atalanta. Roma currently sit second in Serie A, whereas Atalanta are only two points above the relegation zone.
