AS Roma is set to face Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday in an important Serie A match.
After losing to Torino in the Coppa Italia earlier this week, Roma aims to bounce back and continue their pursuit of a higher position in the league.
AS Roma Team News
The team is facing challenges with their attacking lineup. Artem Dovbyk will have surgery in Finland on Monday for a myotendinous injury in his left thigh. He is expected to be out for at least two months, with a return projected around April, according to Sky Sport Italia and club statements.
Evan Ferguson is also a fitness concern after sustaining a lower back injury during Roma’s 2-0 win against Sassuolo. He had to leave the game early, but initial assessments indicate that the injury is a severe bruise and not long-term, easing concerns from the club.
On a positive note, Gian Piero Gasperini welcomes back Gianluca Mancini, who returns from a one-match suspension, bringing valuable strength to the defence.
However, the coach will still be without key players Lorenzo Pellegrini and Tommaso Baldanzi due to injuries. Additionally, midfielder Neil El Aynaoui is currently on international duty with Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations.
To address their attacking shortages, Roma has secured Dutch international Donyell Malen from Aston Villa on a loan deal, which includes an obligation to purchase when specific conditions are met.
AS Roma Predicted Lineup
Possible AS Roma Starting XI:Â Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Cristante, Kone, Wesley; Soule, Dybala; Malen
When Will the Match Kick Off?
The match is scheduled to begin at 5pm BST on Sunday, January 18th.
