The head coach of the Italian club "Roma," Claudio Ranieri, commented on the inclusion of Eldor Shomurodov in the starting lineup due to the injury of Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik, according to RomaPress.
“I have never hesitated to put my players on the field. Whether it’s Eldor or Artem – each one wants to contribute to the team. Making a choice is always difficult. Even if I make a mistake regarding the lineup, it’s not a problem. Because all the players in our team prepare thoroughly for the game,” said Ranieri.
Despite rumors about the Uzbek player leaving the team in January, he has started to show reliable performances after coming off the bench. In recent matches, he has been active in the starting lineup and scoring important goals for his team. In the 26th round of the Italian championship, in the match against "Monza," Shomurodov assisted the first goal for his team and scored the second goal himself.
For your information, "Roma" is currently in 9th place in the Italian Serie A with 40 points after the 26th round.
