If Athens cries, Sparta does not laugh. An old saying that takes full the time of Rome and Borussia Monchengladbach in view of the challenge tonight valid for the third day of the Europa League Group J. On the one hand, in fact, there is Fonseca's Roma who is experiencing a period of black due to injuries that continue to reduce the Roma team, forcing the Portuguese coach to make practically obligatory choices in all roles. On the other hand there are the Germans with the technician Marco Rose who has 9 players out due to injury and Stindl which will reach the team in the capital only at the last moment for the birth of the child.

HOW ROME COMES – As said, the Roma will have the men counted and the formation that will go on the field could also surprise for some players who will go into the field in roles quite different from the usual. We are talking above all about Fazio which, given the death of medians, could play alongside Veretout in midfield as already done at the dawn of his career. Right, in front of Pau Lopez, will act Spinazzola, to the left Kolarov and as power plants Smalling is Mancini. Behind the single point Dzeko, already returned with the mask in the race against Sampdoria, there will be Florenzi on the left, on the trocar Zaniolo it is on the right Kluivert, expelled in the last match of champion against the Sampdoria.

HOW THE GLADBACH ARRIVES – The German coach, due to the many absences, is forced to confirm ten / elevenths of the challenge lost in the last round of the championship for 1-0 against Borussia Dortmund. The veteran will be in the goal Sommer, defended by a four-way line composed of Lainer, Jantschke, Elvedi and Wendt; in the median the three deployed by Rose should be Benes, Kramer and Zakaria; while in attack, together with Embolus central tip, they should play Thuram, son of the great ex Juventus and Parma Lilian, e Hermann which should take the place of Plea, on the pitch against the gialloneri but excluded at the Olimpico.
