Official: Ranieri confirms Roma squad for Derby della Capitale against Lazio | OneFootball

Claudio Ranieri has confirmed his squad of 23 players to take on rivals Lazio in the Derby della Capitale in Serie A on Sunday evening, with just two players unavailable for the highly-anticipated clash at the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma have just two players unavailable through injury in the form of Paulo Dybala, who has had season-ending surgery, and defender Saud Abdulhamid, who is out with a hamstring injury.

The rest of the Giallorossi first-team squad are fit, available and ready to go against Lazio: Mats Hummels, Evan Ndicka and Gianluca Mancini among the defenders, Alexis Saelemaekers and Angelino are expected to start at wing-back, with a wide selection of midfielders and attackers including Matias Soule, Tommaso Baldanzi, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Artem Dovbyk and Eldor Shomurodov.
