Andy Mattioli

Paulo Dybala will not be featuring in Roma’s starting line-up tonight in Cremona against Davide Ballardini’s men.

According to Italian media reports, Jose Mourinho will rest the Argentine attacker tonight with Stephan El Shaarawy ready to replace him.

Additionally, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Andrea Belotti will also lead the attack with Tammy Abraham being deemed not fit enough after having had stitches removed from his lower eyelid a few days ago.

In the meantime, Marash Kumbulla will replace Chris Smalling who is suspended for this matchday.

Gini Wijnaldum will earn his first start for Roma alongside either Bryan Cristante or Nemanja Matic.
