Gasperini’s Squad Fighting Without Dovbyk But With Returning Stars
Gian Piero Gasperini received injury updates before today’s clash. Returning stars Paulo Dybala and Leon Bailey completed full training Monday after recovering from bicep femoris injuries.
However, Roma will absolutely miss striker Artem Dovbyk, sidelined 4-6 weeks with a hip injury suffered against Udinese. In Dovbyk’s absence, Evan Ferguson leads the attack after finally breaking his 13-month goal drought against Cremonese (3-1) last Sunday.
“It will be an open match between two strong teams who want to score goals.”
— Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma Manager
