Roma face injury concerns ahead of their crucial match with Napoli, with star forward Paulo Dybala likely limited to a substitute role due to ongoing muscular issues. New manager Claudio Ranieri is taking a cautious approach with the Argentine playmaker, whose absence significantly impacts the team’s performance, reducing their win rate by 13%.
Despite these setbacks, Roma’s top scorer Artem Dovbyk is expected to start, though he’s carrying a minor knee problem. The team’s attacking options are further limited with Eldor Shomurodov sidelined, while Spanish defender Mario Hermoso is also unavailable due to injury. On a positive note, Alexis Saelemaekers has resumed team training after a lengthy absence.
For Napoli, former Roma striker Romelu Lukaku poses a significant threat, having contributed to four goals in his last five matches against his old club. The Belgian forward is set to spearhead Napoli’s attack.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte has the luxury of a fully fit squad, allowing for tactical flexibility. Stanislav Lobotka may replace Billy Gilmour in midfield, while former Roma player Leonardo Spinazzola could challenge Mathias Olivera for the left-back position.
Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, McTominay; Politano, Lukaku, Kvaratskhelia
Roma: Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka, Angelino; Kone, Cristante; Soule, Pellegrini, El Shaarawy; Dovbyk
