Roma are awaiting updates on Paulo Dybala and Manu Koné after both players were forced off during the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
According to Vocegiallorossa.it, the pair will undergo diagnostic tests tomorrow to establish the extent of their injuries and assess possible recovery times.
Koné Faces Tests After Suspected Muscle Strain
Koné’s evening ended after just 16 minutes, forcing Gian Piero Gasperini into an early midfield change.
Speaking to Amazon Prime Video after the match, the Roma coach described the Frenchman’s problem as a suspected muscle strain. The upcoming examinations should provide a clearer picture, with no confirmed recovery timetable yet available.
His condition adds to Roma’s concerns during a demanding run of domestic and European fixtures.
Optimism Over Dybala After Precautionary Substitution
There is encouraging news regarding Paulo Dybala, who was replaced at halftime against Real Madrid as a precaution.
According to Manà Sport Roma, the initial indications suggest muscle fatigue rather than a more concerning injury, with optimism surrounding the Argentine’s condition.
Dybala is scheduled for a physiotherapy session, and Roma’s medical staff will continue monitoring him over the coming hours. His availability for Genoa remains to be confirmed.
With Genoa next at the Olimpico, Gasperini will be hoping for reassuring news on two important members of his side. For now, Roma must wait for the examinations before determining the next steps in their recovery.
8:35 AM: Dybala and Koné to Miss Genoa
Paulo Dybala and Manu Koné will both miss Saturday’s match against Genoa, according to Lorenzo Pes. Their diagnostic tests have been postponed until tomorrow, when Roma hope to establish the extent of their physical problems and assess recovery times.
Their absence gives Gian Piero Gasperini two further selection concerns following the defeat to Real Madrid. No longer-term recovery timetable has been confirmed.
