Roma is facing a major injury crisis, especially in attack.
Gian Piero Gasperini, ahead of the trip to the Maradona stadium against Napoli, has few options: four attacking players (Malen, Castro, Soulé, Mora) for three positions, or one of Cristante, who has just returned from a knee problem, and Pisilli could play in the attacking midfield.
The Giallorossi coach, in fact, has recently lost Dybala and Pellegrini to injury.
The Giallorossi number 7 will undergo an MRI today to determine his recovery time following the issue he sustained on the pitch during Tuesday’s win against Slovan Bratislava in his right leg flexor.
The hope is that his sidelines will be for 15 days and no longer. Meanwhile, Gasperini hopes to have Dybala back shortly before the start of the international break.
Paulo Dybala wants to quickly overcome the minor muscle injury that’s preventing him from training with the group and become a key asset for Gasperini.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the number 21 is continuing treatment on his calf and hopes to return for the Champions League match away to Manchester United. The match is scheduled for November 3rd, a race against time.
