Gasperini names strong Roma line-up for Brighton pre-season friendly

Gian Piero Gasperini has named a strong Roma line-up for the pre-season friendly against Brighton. The XI features all of Matias Soule, Paulo Dybala and the rest of the key starters, a clear signal the new coach wants to see his first-choice group click before the season proper begins. Brighton have also confirmed their starting side for the match. Both teams used the fixture to give important minutes to new signings and returning internationals, with the contest set to be a serious test rather than a runaround.
