Roma is returning to full strength for the final stretch of the season.
Gian Piero Gasperini has rediscovered Wesley, Koné, and Dybala: three key players in as many areas of the pitch.
The Brazilian winger is already back to his best: goals, acceleration, and defensive recoveries—his repertoire is complete.
Manu Koné made a name for himself with an assist for Mario Hermoso, thanks to his physical exuberance, against Fiorentina.
The only player missing from the squad is Paulo Dybala, who could return to the starting lineup against Parma.
Malen has been Roma’s driving force in the second half of the season with 11 goals, but he could use more quality in the attacking midfield. The only player who has found some consistency is Lorenzo Pellegrini, who was injured on April 10th against Pisa.
Soulé is severely limited by groin pain, and Dybala only returned in Bologna. La Joya played 13 minutes without overexerting himself, then got more space (18 minutes) in the win against Fiorentina.
The Giallorossi number 21, as La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, is desperate to return to the spotlight, and Gasperini expects him to be at his best for the derby, which is why he might give him a starting spot in Parma. The plan could include a sparring match with Soulé.
