AS Roma will be without four key players for the match against Inter on Saturday at the Stadio Olimpico, according to a report in the Italian media.

As has been reported by FCInter1908 today, AS Roma boss Jose Mourinho is almost into emergency mode when it comes to his team selections against Inter on Saturday.

Midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini will be out until January with an injury and now it appears that Stephan El Shaarawy will also be absent for the match against the Nerazzurri.

He came off against Bologna on Wednesday night in the 1-0 defeat and has undergone treatment on Thursday. He will be unavailable for the Inter clash.

Rick Karsdorp will also be unable to play because of suspension and star striker Tammy Abraham is also in the same boat.

That means that the Roma attack will be severely blunted and the options from the bench in all positions will be limited.
