Roma are hours away from kick-off to their last matchday of 2023 versus Juventus.

The Giallorossi will face Massimiliano Allegri’s team in a packed Allianz Stadium tonight, with Jose Mourinho having to address several uncertainties in his starting formation.

According to Corriere della Sera, Dybala is not expected to start after all – Mourinho is currently leaning more toward starting Lorenzo Pellegrini in his place.

The Roma captain is in fact likely to replace Dybala alongside Romelu Lukaku in Roma’s attack with Nicola Zalewski and Rasmus Kristensen featuring on either wing.

Dybala is expected to come off the bench in the second half.
