Jose Mourinho is reportedly considering a change in formation for the upcoming match with Frosinone.

Following Roma’s shocking defeat to Genoa and yet another injury with Diego Llorente likely ruled out for a few weeks, Mourinho seems tempted to switch to a four-man defense.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Special One could resort to a 4-3-3 formation on Sunday with Stephan El Shaarawy slotting in on the wing alongside Pulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku.

Bryan Cirstante, Leandro Paredes and Lorenzo Pellegrini would start in the midfield with Ndicka and Mancini the only centrebacks left standing.
