After playing a decisive role in last Sunday’s victory over Bologna, Éver Banega could be rewarded with a start against Roma this weekend.
The Argentine may be deployed as trequartista, while Antonio Candreva and Ivan Perišić will offer support in attack from the flanks.
Meanwhile, João Mário is likely to start in a deep-lying midfield position alongside Roberto Gagliardini as both Marcelo Brozović and Geoffrey Kondogbia are serious doubts for the match.

We need some muscle in the midfield… All in for Kondo!
I love it, JM gagli in support of Banega, as Candreva and Perisic on the wing.
Problem: its painful to see our wingback
I really love his football… I think a different maybe fantastic formation
is that Mario playing instead of lazy Candreva , Mario proved that he is a good runner and excellent in crossing …
and Banega playes as attacking mid
deployed as trequartista, while Antonio Candreva and Ivan Perišić from the flanks.
——— WHAT ELSE ?!?! isn’t it NATURAL ?!?!
I love banega
I think Banega is too poor defensively to start vs Roma who has a strong midfield going forward. Need to have 3 midfielders who can properly close down in midfield.
If Kondogbia is out, then hopefully Brozovic can make it back to partner Gaglia with JM in front of them.
Banega can come on as a sub.
Kondogbia is perfectly fine,a little fever ,which is probably already gone.
I think a midfield Kondo-Gaglia with Banega as a trequartista makes sense,the duo Kondo-Gaglia is defensively stable enough.
joao mario over banega easily
Sounds like the best solution for me.
Batmanovic
Dumbrosio-Murillo-Medel-Nagatomo
Joao Mario- Gagliardini
Candreva – Banega – Perisic
Icardi
It seems like banega and joao mario have blended together, I want to see if they can prove it vs Roma.
they can make a fine pair of creative players in the mid.
Kondo will definitely be there.
We need his physicality on Sunday.
I liked Ansaldi in Bologna ,I would confirm him.
Nagatomo in ,just to try mark Salah, is like renouncing to play actual football to me.
Yep ansaldi would seem like the smart choice but his physical problems all year concern me when he has to keep up with Salah, especially since Yogatomo has proven he can keep MoSa quiet… then again I wouldn’t mind seeing dambrosio on the left, Murillo on the right and Andreolli in the center w Gary to shore up the defense so the midfield can express themselves…
Kondogbia if he has a slight fever may not be 100%… not ideal against ddr, stroot, and naing: arguably the best midfield in Série A if not top 3 midfields in Europe.
InterAmore lineup seems the most likely, the most important is that We play a high line so Gary and Jeison can use their pace/pressing.
ansaldi agains salah ?!?
he has no knowldge for salah …
Kondogbia will be out because of flu
salah would raped ansaldi
