Wesley’s fatigue Prompts Roma to Consider Rensch Against Torino
ROME – Roma manager Daniele De Rossi is likely to rest forward Wesley against Torino on Sunday due to fatigue stemming from an exhaustive schedule with both the Brazilian national team and his club, Corriere dello Sport reports. Wesley returned from international duty with Brazil this morning and underwent tests revealing a slight thigh muscle overload,but no injury.
The 22-year-old has played 28 games as January 25th,including matches with Flamengo,the Brazilian national team,and Roma’s pre-season preparations. Medical staff are closely monitoring his condition and anticipate the need for managed rest to prevent further fatigue. He was held out of Brazil’s match against Bolivia on Tuesday as a precaution.
Roma’s coaching staff is developing a tailored training regimen for Wesley, differing from the rest of the team who are at the beginning of their season. A brief period of individual work, perhaps including missing a couple of games, is being considered.Consequently, De rossi is expected to start defender Dean Huijsen (referred to as “RenSch” in the original report) against Torino, who has been training well at Trigoria. the manager acknowledges that rotation will be necessary throughout the season, and sunday’s match will offer a first prospect to implement this strategy.
