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.
