Daniele De Rossi is already planning how to set up his team for the match against Genoa scheduled for September 15th.

The Roma boss will most likely have to do without Artem Dovbyk who recently suffered an injury that forced him to miss international duty with Ukraine.

While Dovbyk continues his recovery, Corriere dello Sport writes that De Rossi is thinking of deploying Paulo Dybala as the team’s leading striker.

It remains to be seen whether De Rossi will immediately want to switch to a three-man defence, and therefore deploy a 3-4-2-1 with Soulé and Pellegrini in the attacking midfield, or postpone the inclusion of another defender.
