However, the most recent information, as reported by Il Messaggero, reveals that Sarri is finally ready to grant Pellegrini his first appearance during the second leg of the last 16 second leg of the Europa Conference League against AZ.

It's likely the 24-year-old will start on the bench and will play in the second half, however, the most significant thing is that the Italian left-back will be allowed to participate in the match.

The defender must devote much effort in the upcoming months to convince The Aquile to make his transfer permanent from Juventus in the next summer window.
