Dybala likely to miss Napoli vs. Roma, Soule’ remains in doubt | OneFootball

Paulo Dybala is reportedly out of the Roma squad to face Napoli on Sunday evening, while Matias Soulé should be at least on the bench.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).

Coach Gian Piero Gasperini had already warned in his press conference earlier today that he had concerns about both Argentine talents in his squad.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Dybala is still struggling with persistent pain in his knee and will not be risked for the big match.

Soulé is by no means fully fit either, as he has recurring groin issue, but is at the very least going to make the trip to Naples.

The Giallorossi are already forced to do without Manu Kone, Evan Ferguson, Artem Dovbyk and Stephan El Shaarawy, with Angelino and Robinio Vaz only fit for the bench.

If Soulé is not able to feature from the start, then January signing Bryan Zaragoza will get his full debut.
