It has been revealed that Bosnian star Pjanic will be out for at least two weeks with a calf injury suffered last weekend while on international duty, but the one-time Giallorossi captain sees no reason to panic.
“It’s a heavy blow, but Roma have the means to make up for his absence,” said Giannini in an interview with Tuttomercatoweb.
“They will replace him with another top player.
“Tactically, I don’t know how [Roma coach Rudi] Garcia will set up, but I don’t think it’ll be a big problem, given the squad he has and how well they did in the transfer market.”
The 51-year-old then expanded on his thoughts about Roma’s success during the summer window, when a host of big-name recruits arrived in the capital.
“They filled gaps in the squad, and also bought some interesting players,” he continued.
“[Edin] Dzeko certainly was the icing on the cake.
“He’s a player with experience, who can also handle pressure from the fans.
“Gerson, they say, is also very good. I’m curious to see him play at the Olimpico.”
Il Principe [The Prince] made over 300 appearances for the Giallorossi, as well as turning out for Lecce and Napoli during a glittering career.
