Roma to Miss Dybala, Soulé in Crucial Cremonese Clash

AS Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini has confirmed the absence of attacking duo Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé from the team's upcoming crucial match against Cremonese. Their absence comes at a critical time as Roma seeks to secure all three points to advance towards their Champions League objectives.

Gasperini explained that Paulo Dybala is currently undergoing treatment for unspecified discomfort that prevents him from participating, while Matías Soulé is suffering from a groin injury that has kept him out of training all week. Regarding Dybala, coach Gasperini stated, “Dybala will not play in the match; he is continuing treatment for discomfort that prevents him from being well. He is doing his best to return as soon as possible.” He added about Soulé, “Soulé has also been sidelined all week due to groin pain and will not be present. I hope to have him back for the next match.”

The coach stressed the utmost importance of securing a three-point victory against Cremonese, affirming that these points are crucial for Roma's ambitions to qualify for the Champions League. Roma currently sits in fourth place in the league table, a position the team aims to maintain and strengthen. Commenting on the match's significance, Gasperini said, “The three points against Cremonese are fundamental, and they are valuable in all matches. We cannot look beyond that or make assessments regarding suspended players; today we are in fourth place, and we do not want to drop from there.”
