Roma return to the Champions League stage at the Stadio Olimpico with Bryan Cristante back in Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad for the meeting with Slovan Bratislava, the Giallorossi’s third group fixture.
Cristante returns for Slovan Bratislava test
- Cristante missed Roma’s previous three matches because of inflammation in his knee.
- The 1995-born midfielder has now been included in Gasperini’s selection for the European evening at the Olimpico.
- Roma face Slovan Bratislava looking to make their home ground count as the Champions League group campaign reaches its third round.
