AS Roma team news
Roma will be missing a few key players for this important fixture. Paulo Dybala continues to be sidelined with a troublesome hamstring injury, with coach Gian Piero Gasperini confirming that the forward will not be back before the October international break. Leon Bailey is also out of contention, having yet to feature since his summer transfer from Aston Villa due to ongoing muscle issues.
