AI summary
Torino manager Ignazio Abate framed Sunday's visit to Roma as a significant test but not a defining moment, saying his side had gained confidence from last week's win at Fiorentina. He acknowledged Roma's quality under Gian Piero Gasperini but stressed Torino have their own weapons, emphasising that defensive discipline from all players—including attackers—would be crucial against Gasperini's high-pressing, vertically-oriented approach.
Abate confirmed Adams is unavailable due to an adductor problem and Simeone remains uncertain with a back issue, though he said a decision would come Sunday morning. Zapata trained fully with positive knee feedback, while Rodriguez has completed the week and could feature for limited minutes.
