Roma face a late fitness concern ahead of their Serie A encounter against Torino on Monday night, with key wing-back Wesley experiencing muscular discomfort. The Brazilian is now considered a late doubt for the match, which could affect the Giallorossi’s strong start to the 2026-27 campaign.
Key Player’s Availability in Question
Wesley has been an integral part of Roma’s lineup this season, having started all three of their Serie A matches. His consistent presence on the flank has contributed to the team’s early success, making his potential absence a significant consideration for manager.
Reports indicate that Wesley felt discomfort in his leg during Roma’s final training session before the Torino fixture. While the extent of the issue is not detailed, his status remains uncertain for the crucial league fixture.
Roma’s Strong Start and League Ambitions
Roma have enjoyed a flawless start to the Serie A season, securing victories in all three of their opening matches. These include dominant 4-0 wins against Fiorentina and Lecce, followed by a 2-1 triumph over Atalanta. This impressive run has placed them in second position in the league standings with nine points.
The Monday night clash against Torino holds significant importance for Roma’s league aspirations. A draw would see them move level with Lazio at the top of the table on 10 points, while a victory would propel them into first place with 12 points. Maintaining their perfect record and potentially claiming the top spot could be challenging without Wesley, depending on the severity of his discomfort and the medical staff’s decision.
