A New Crisis in Rome: Intense Dispute Between Gasperini and Ranieri Over Wesley's Injury
Thursday 16-04-2026
Tensions are escalating within Roma Club after a new crisis erupted concerning the Brazilian player Wesley, who has been absent since March 30 due to a hamstring injury.

Coach Gian Piero Gasperini is pushing for his quick involvement in group training in preparation for the match against Atalanta, while the medical staff is rejecting this haste, insisting on a more conservative recovery plan.

The crisis did not stop with the medical staff alone; it extended to a conflict within the club's management, where Claudio Ranieri supported the doctors' stance, which heightened the tension between him and Gasperini.

The player himself seems eager to return, as he continues to train individually in hopes of getting the green light, but the latest tests were not reassuring enough to bring him back to the group.

This disagreement reflects the escalating division within the club, particularly regarding the issue of injuries. There have been repeated opposing viewpoints on the return of players like Dybala, Ferguson, Dovik, and Costa Cunha, with some advocating for urgency and others calling for caution. The situation has become a constant source of concern within Trigoria.

As the crisis worsens, reports indicate that the club owners are considering making extensive changes to the medical staff in an attempt to recalibrate injury management within the team.

At present, Wesley's participation against Atalanta remains unlikely, adding to Gasperini's troubles ahead of a crucial phase of the season.
