“Gerson is a surprising choice, but one made by Luciano Spalletti after viewing training all week,” Baldissoni told Mediaset Premium.

“He is a player of great quality. Mohamed Salah and Bruno Peres are not fully fit right now, while Gerson can keep the ball well. He has undoubted quality, it’s not a moment of madness. It’s a surprise, but he’ll be up to the task.

“Nobody likes to come second. These are the moments where we must prove that we can aim for first place, as we are here to take on the leaders.

“The season doesn’t end today, but we hope to send a signal that we’re targeting the top. The team is confident and believes in what it’s doing.

“They seem very determined and hopefully that’s a good sign.”
