Paulo Dybala is aiming to earn his second consecutive start after recently returning from injury to Jose Mourinho’s disposal.

In fact, the Argentine forward – who featured in the Special One’s eleven versus Juventus a few days ago – is said to be favored to start later tonight as Roma face Cremonese in the Coppa Italia Round of 16.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Dybala himself has made it a point of wanting to play as much as possible after missing the last few weeks of action.

In the meantime, Mourinho is expected to apply changes to his starting defense for the night with Gianluca Mancini looking to rest. In his place, Zeki Celik and Bryan Cristante are expected to start alongside Diego Llorente.

The attack will be led by Andrea Belotti as Romelu Lukaku will remain on the bench.
