Roma Clear Wesley of Muscle Tear as Torino Start in Doubt

Following uninterrupted duty since January, Roma plan managed rest to resolve the muscle overload.

Overview

  • Wesley returned to Rome for tests that showed no lesion, with results indicating a slight muscle overload in the right thigh.
  • He did not play in Brazil’s 1-0 loss to Bolivia in El Alto after reporting discomfort, with Carlo Ancelotti keeping him in the stands.
  • Roma’s medical staff will advise Gian Piero Gasperini to hold him out against Torino on Sunday to prioritize recovery for the derby next week.
  • Devyne Rensch has trained strongly at Trigoria and is the likely starter on the right if Wesley is not used.
  • The club has set a tailored workload for the 22-year-old, and a brief individual program over a couple of matches is not excluded.
