AS Roma travel to Salento to face Lecce at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero on Sunday in their next Serie A fixture.
The Giallorossi arrive in excellent form, sitting atop the table after a convincing 4-0 victory over Fiorentina on Matchday 1. Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma have strung together six straight Serie A wins stretching back into the closing stages of last season, recording five clean sheets during that run. Historically strong against Lecce, Roma have won their last four meetings and start as clear favourites to lengthen that streak.
Manager Gian Piero Gasperini must balance new signings with a handful of ongoing injury issues ahead of the trip to Salento. Argentine defender Leonardo Balerdi has been included in the squad for the first time and is widely expected to make his starting debut.
Midfielder Marten De Roon has quickly become part of the group after a surprise deadline-day move from Atalanta.
However, Roma will be without key players Lorenzo Pellegrini and Devyne Rensch, both sidelined with thigh and flexor problems; both are due to rejoin full team training next week.
