Double injury blow for Roma ahead of Milan clash

Paulo Dybala is still in question ahead of Friday’s Serie A derby with AC Milan, according to Italian media.

The Argentina forward has not trained with the squad this week after picking up a thigh injury in the weekend’s loss to Hellas Verona.

Tests have shown that it is not a serious injury, but Dybala is likely to miss the meeting with Milan. Another key player for Roma – Renato Sanchez is also out for the game. The injury prone Portuguese came from PSG this summer and is already dealing with a muscle problem as Jose Mourinho confirmed at the end of last week.

On the other hand, Romelu Lukaku will most probably be ready to make his debut for the team against Milan as he arrived in Rome on Wednesday to complete his medicals and sign his contract for a season-long loan from Chelsea.
