Roma have been dealt a blow ahead of their Serie A match against Monza, with key players Paulo Dybala and Mats Hummels both absent from the squad list. Dybala, who missed Roma’s previous league fixture against Venezia, was expected to make his return but has been sidelined once again.
The Argentine forward experienced discomfort during training, prompting the club to take a cautious approach with the international break looming. Roma’s medical staff decided not to risk aggravating Dybala’s condition, opting to give him more time to recover.
German defender Mats Hummels will also miss the trip to Monza, though his absence is due to a high fever rather than injury. The club has chosen to leave him behind to recover fully.
On a positive note, Polish midfielder Nicola Zalewski has been reintegrated into the squad. He is expected to fill in for the injured Alexis Saelemaekers in the midfield flanks, providing manager José Mourinho with an additional option.
