He acknowledged the impact of injuries on the squad, noting that players like Gianluca Mancini and Paulo Dybala are on the mend, which could bolster the team's performance. Gasperini highlighted that the injuries have been a significant detriment since late December, with at least seven players suffering long-term issues. He urged the team to focus on the present and improve their results, emphasizing that every match counts as they aim to climb the Serie A standings. Gasperini also addressed the future of players with expiring contracts, stating that the situation has been known since the start of the season and depends on the club's and players' decisions. As Roma prepares for the match against Pisa, the coach remains committed to finishing the season strongly, aiming for a goal that seemed unattainable earlier in the year.
