Roma Start Dovbyk With Pellegrini and Soulé as Verona Chase First League Win

Key absences up front force Roma to reshuffle for the Serie A home match.

Overview

  • Kick-off is 14:00 BST at the Stadio Olimpico, with live coverage on DAZN in the UK and Paramount+ in the USA.
  • Roma’s confirmed XI includes Dovbyk at centre-forward with Pellegrini and Soulé behind him and Celik joining Mancini and Ndicka in the back three.
  • Paulo Dybala and summer signing Leon Bailey remain out with muscle problems and are not expected back until after the October international break.
  • Verona start Giovane alongside Gift Orban, with Roberto Gagliardini fit enough for the bench after a shoulder issue and several teammates still injured.
  • Gasperini’s Roma arrive on a strong run that features a derby win and a Europa League victory, whereas Verona remain winless in Serie A after three draws and one defeat.
