Fiorentina and AS Roma are set to face off this Sunday afternoon at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in what is expected to be an exciting Serie A showdown.
The Viola are still chasing their opening league win this season, while the Giallorossi look to continue their strong run under the guidance of their new manager, Gian Piero Gasperini.
AS Roma team news
Roma have received a boost with the return of Paulo Dybala, who has been training with the team this week and is included in the matchday squad. Though Dybala might not start, he could feature as a substitute to ease back into competitive action after injury.
Leon Bailey, however, remains sidelined due to an ongoing muscular injury, which has delayed his debut since arriving from Aston Villa. Additionally, Edoardo Bove is still out with heart-related issues and there is no definite timeline for his comeback.
On a positive note, Mario Hermoso and Wesley have both recovered and are fit enough to be considered for selection. Leading the attack, Artem Dovbyk recently ended his scoring drought with a goal against Hellas Verona, competing alongside Evan Ferguson for the striker’s role. Meanwhile, Matias Soulé continues to impress, having contributed two goals and one assist in five Serie A matches.
AS Roma predicted lineup
Possible AS Roma starting xi: Svilar; Hermoso, Mancini, Ndicka; Wesley, Cristante, Kone, Angelino; Soule, Pellegrini; Dovbyk
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday, 5th October.
