On the morning of December 26th the instrumental tests to evaluate the extent of the injury suffered on Christmas Eve in training. Against Genoa, Gasp could push Dybala back to the attacking midfield alongside Soulé
While waiting for gifts from the market, bad news arrived for Gasperini on Christmas day. Lorenzo Pellegrini, in fact, is at great risk for the match on Monday 29 December against Genoa. The Giallorossi midfielder stopped training on Christmas Eve due to a quadriceps problem which continued to cause pain today. Tomorrow morning, 26 December, he will carry out instrumental tests to assess the extent of the injury, but there is fear of an injury that would force Pellegrini into the pits even in the matches against Atalanta and Lecce when, however, there could be an extra Raspadori to lend a hand.

However, it is unlikely that Lorenzo will be able to recover in time for the challenge against Daniele De Rossi who was at his side both as a footballer (in 2017-2018) and as a coach a year and a half ago. A bad blow for Gasperini who, in the event of the number 7’s withdrawal, could push Dybala back to the attacking midfield alongside Soulé. In that case, Baldanzi (favourite) and Dovbyk would be at the center of the attack unless Gasperini decides to give Ferguson another chance. Difficult given the public rejection after the match against Juventus and considering that the Irishman is on his way back to Brighton. Tomorrow at the restart the coach will also have Hermoso and Bailey back at his disposal.
