How Roma’s Donyell Malen can create history against Torino | OneFootball

Serie A side Roma have seen Donyell Malen impress once again this season, with the Dutchman having scored a hattrick and a brace already. But the Giallorossi’s game against Torino could see the attacker create more history.

Corriere dello Sport report that only two players in Roma history have scored over five goals in the first four Serie A games.

One is Pedro Manfredini, who achieved the feat in the 1960/61 campaign, scoring seven times. Francesco Totti also did the same in the 2000/01 season, when he scored six goals.

If Malen scores against Torino, he would be the third player in Roma history to achieve the feat. 

The newspaper note that Gian Piero Gasperini is considering the idea of rotating today, as the Giallorossi played away in the Champions League in mid-week. But this won’t impact Malen, who should still start against the Turin club, as he is seen as an indispensable asset.
