Shomurodov, Dovbyk to lead Roma’s attack in Dybala’s absence | OneFootball

Claudio Ranieri could opt for a line-up involving two strikers to make up for Paulo Dybala’s absence in the final stretch of the season.

Following the Argentine’s season-ending injury, the veteran technician will have to come up with an alternative gameplan.

According to La Repubblica, Ranieri is seriously considering fielding a ‘heavy’ attack made up of Eldor Shomurodov and Artem Dovbyk.

The Ukrainian has a total score of 15 goals (and 4 assists) between the league and cups in 38 appearances, for an average of one goal every 178 minutes.

The Uzbek, on the other hand, has scored 5 goals (and 3 assists) in 28 appearances, for an average of one goal every 185 minutes.

There is no shortage of alternatives to Ranieri, especially with Soulé, Baldanzi and Pellegrini. But the idea of ​​an attacking tandem, with a three-man midfield and Angelino and Saelemekers as offensive engines, seems to appeal to the Giallorossi coach.
