Gian Piero Gasperini has published the official squad that will start on the pitch against Udinese on the tenth matchday of SerieA 2026/27. The list, confirmed by the club, includes twenty-two players, while Paulo Dybala's return has been cancelled, with the Argentine midfielder still recovering. The two defenders Nicolò Svilar and IbrahimKoné also remain out of the program due to fitness and injury reasons.
Among the selected goalkeepers we find JuanVásquez, AlessandroDeMarzi and LucaGollini. In defense, Gasperini opted for a varied department: Rensch, Koulierakis, Ndicka, Molina, Hermoso, Mancini, Balerdi, Wesley, Lulli and Ghilardi. The midfield is made up of Cristante, DeRoon, Pisilli, DiNunzio and Mora, while the attack is entrusted to Castro, Malen, Soulé and Camara. The composition reflects the coach's desire to maintain a balance between experience and youth, trying to exploit the versatility of the players available.
The confirmation of Dybala's absence was greeted with surprise by fans, as the Argentine striker had proven to be a key element in recent matches. His return is scheduled for the next match, but he currently remains out of the squad for health reasons. The absences of Svilar and Koné, also important for the defense, forced Gasperini to resort to alternative solutions, in particular the entry of Wesley and Lulli, who will have to take on more central roles.
In the context of the season, Roma are in a competitive position in the table, but face the challenge of Udinese with a slightly lighter squad. The coach underlined the importance of maintaining concentration and taking advantage of the opportunities created by the midfield, especially in view of the upcoming decisive matches. The absence of some starters should not alter the game strategy, but will require greater commitment from the remaining players.
With the match scheduled for next weekend, Roma are preparing to defend their position in the league table, while Udinese will look to capitalize on the lack of some key defenders. The result of this match could have significant repercussions on the title race and European qualification, making the match even more crucial for both teams.
