Baldanzi ready to be deployed in Roma starting XI against Bayer Leverkusen

Tommaso Baldanzi will be hoping to make a surprise early appearance on Thursday night as Roma look to stage a comeback against Bayer Leverkusen.

With the Giallorossi expected to travel to Germany later today, Paulo Dybala’s conditions still remain unclear as the player was recently injured during the match against Juventus on Sunday evening.

Today’s edition of Corriere della Sera reports that Dybala is expected to be recalled, but it remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough to start against Bayer.

As a result, the newspaper suggests that Daniele De Rossi would consider deploying Tommaso Baldanzi in his place.

The 20-year-old produced a magnificent performance on Sunday evening and was withdrawn before the end of the match in order to rest before a possible deployment from the start tomorrow in Germany.
