Manu Koné to take Lorenzo Pellegrini’s place in Genoa clash | OneFootball

Manu Koné is a strong candidate for a place in Roma’s starting line-up for this weekend’s fixture with Genoa.

The French midfielder made his debut for the Giallorossi a week ago, when he came on in the second half of the match with Juventus, impressing everyone in just under 20 minutes.

Now, with Lorenzo Pellegrini banged up and sidelined with a muscle injury, Manu Koné is looking at a concrete chance to start for Roma.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Koné’s place in Daniele De Rossi’s starting line-up is guaranteed for Sunday.

The Roma boss has made it clear that he intends to play those who perform and who deserve to play.

Thus, Koné, along with Enzo Le Fée (who recently recovered from injury), are likely to feature from the start at the Marassi on Sunday.
