Roma struggle with growing injury crisis against Genoa | OneFootball

Roma are down to the bare bones for tomorrow’s match with Genoa, as Matias Soulé, Paulo Dybala, Mario Hermoso and Wesley miss out.

It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

Gian Piero Gasperini is struggling with a decimated squad and discovered this week it will be that way for a while, because both Dybala and Evan Ferguson required surgery.

Wesley Franca is suspended, while both Soulé and Hermoso have not yet recovered and are left behind in the Capital.

It is hoped that they can at least be on the bench for next week’s Europa League Round of 16 clash with fellow Italians Bologna.

Artem Dovbyk is another long-term absentee, so we could see Roma start Bryan Zaragoza with Lorenzo Pellegrini in support of Donyell Malen.
