Torino tried to take a peek at what Roma were preparing for Monday’s clash. Their match analyst Michele Orecchio was caught watching their Sunday practice on a hill near the Trigoria training center, Il Messaggero reports (via OneFootball).
The assistant was identified by the policemen who were checking the area and promptly turned away. The Giallorossi have increased their level of precaution after the Granata did the same thing last year while José Mourinho was at the helm.
In that case, Orecchio was spying on their training with a drone. Collaborator Nuno Santos noticed it and called everything off. Daniele De Rossi had just one proper session following the draining midweek Europa League clash versus Feyenoord. After learning about situation, he postponed the tactical tests.
Roma will rotate some men versus Torino after playing 120 minutes on Thursday. Romelu Lukaku could begin on the bench for the first time in ages. Sardar Azmoun would take his place. Tommaso Baldanzi could relieve Paulo Dybala. La Joya didn’t play the full tilt a few days ago. Probably just one of their two stars won’t make the XI.
One between Lorenzo Pellegrini and Bryan Cristante should get the day off initially too. Edoardo Bove is highly likely to start. Diego Llorente is unavailable due to a head trauma. Evan N’Dicka, Dean Huijsen, and Chris Smalling are competing to replace him. Rasmus Kristensen and Angelino should man the defensive wings.
