Roma’s last competitive match was in the 2022 UEFA Europa Conference League Final, as the Serie A side beat Feyenoord 1-0.
This will be their first official friendly of pre-season, though Mourinho’s team did beat local side Trastevere 5-0 in a training match last week.
Here’s the Roma team which could start against Sunderland at Estadio Municipal de Albufeira.

Smalling had to bide his time after Mourinho's appointment last summer and missed the start of the 2021/22 season with a hamstring injury. The former Manchester United defender, 32, regained his confidence, though, and was named man of the match in their 1-0 win over Feyenoord in the Europa Conference League final. Photo: Paolo Bruno

The young Brazilian defender, 23, joined Roma in January 2020, initially on loan, and has been a first-team regular over the last two seasons playing in a back three. Photo: Paolo Bruno
