The campaign gets underway tomorrow for Roma's Primavera side with a home match against Sassuolo.
Alberto De Rossi will be taking charge of the U19s for the 15th season in a row, and will be hoping to start the season on a positive note. This season, he welcomes a new group of players to the Primavera, as 15 players have progressed through the club ranks from the U17s. Among those are goalkeeper Matteo Cardinali, who travelled with the senior squad for this summer's pre-season tour of the US, and midfielder Jean Freddi Greco, who was a member of the Italy squad for the recent U17 European Championship. Key players for the match are likely to include defender Devid Bouah, who was involved in one first team squad last season, striker Zan Celar, who was the side's top scorer last season having arrived from Maribor in 2017, and Alessio Riccardi, the attacking midfielder who has been making waves in the academy system and is one of the strongest candidates from this crop of players to break into the first team in future. Also at De Rossi's disposal could be William Bianda. The defender was signed from Lens in the summer and has mainly played with the Primavera so far. Given that more money was spent on him than all the other players in the Primavera squad, he is one that Eusebio Di Francesco will be keeping half an eye on as the season progresses. Last season, Roma were eliminated by Juventus in the play-off round of the Campeonato Primavera, having finished third in the league. Sassuolo failed to qualify for the final stages having placed 10th in the league. The game kicks off at 10am at Stadio Tre Fontane.
