Pellegrini is "out" - the captain of "Roma" will miss the decisive matches

As Roma's race for a Champions League spot heats up, one of their leading players, captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, is set to end the season early.

Training injury - knee ligament damage

According to Sky Sport Italia, Pellegrini injured his right knee ligament during training ahead of the crucial match against Atalanta in the 36th round.

According to experts, it will take a maximum of two months for this type of injury to fully heal, which means the 28-year-old's season is officially over.

Tactical role - Shomurodov and Dovbik

In recent games, Pellegrini has been a central figure behind the attack in coach Claudio Ranieri's tactics. His role was to provide the ball to strikers like Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbik and to act as a link in the attack.

The absence of a player who can effectively play in this role could be a serious loss for Roma at a crucial stage.

Remaining matches: 3 finals for the Champions League

Roma will face:
- Atalanta,
- Milan,
- Torino in the last 3 rounds of the championship.

Ranieri's team needs to win every match to secure a place in the Champions League.

Wolves' favorite son

Lorenzo Pellegrini is a product of the Roma academy. He once lost his place in the first team and played for Sassuolo from 2015 to 2017, but the club later bought him back for 10 million euros. Time has shown that this decision was correct — Pellegrini became a shining star again in "Wolves".

Zamin.uz editors note that Pellegrini's injury is a serious test for Roma. But the unity of the team in the last rounds, the experience of Ranieri and the strong presence of players like Shomurodov in the game show that the club still has a chance to fight for the coveted Champions League spot.
