Brocchi draws comparison between Castro and early-career Lautaro Martinez

Roma's probable starting line-up for their away trip to Udinese has been revealed, with Matías Soulé and Rodrigo Mora forming the attacking partnership and Daniele Ghilardi positioned behind them. The match is at the Bluenergy Stadium, and it comes before Roma return to Champions League action at Old Trafford against Manchester United. The fixture is the latest in a demanding run for the Giallorossi, who face a delicate test in Friday's...

Roma's Primavera side scored twice away at Inter in a Primavera 1 ninth-round fixture, with Basile giving them the lead in the 33rd minute and Arena doubling it in the 59th. The Friday early kickoff at 18:00 at the league leaders was the Primavera 1 match of the week. Roma come into the game fifth in the table with 13 points, five behind Inter, who top the standings. They were held 2-2 at home by Genoa last Saturday. Coach Mattia Scala set Roma up in a 3-5-2, with Marchetti and Cama on the flanks and Paratici and Arena paired up front. Inter lined up in a 4-3-3 under Emiliano Bigica, with Breda booked for the home side. Roma's starting XI was Kilvinger; Bonifazi, Terlizzi, Basile; Marchetti, Giammattei, Ballarin, Cama; Maccaroni, Paratici, Arena. Terlizzi was replaced by Paul in the 69th minute, Giammattei by Arduini in the 66th, Paratici by Romero Corredera in the 69th, Ballarin by Forni in the 80th and Maccaroni by Loreti in the 80th. Basile and Terlizzi were also booked for Roma, as was Cama. Goals: 33' Basile (R), 59' Arena (R).

Roma will wear their traditional red shirt for Saturday's away match against Udinese, with kickoff at 18:00 at the Bluenergy Stadium. The Serie A tenth-round fixture has also seen the goalkeeper's kit fixed as yellow, while players named on the bench will wear blue bibs. Gian Piero Gasperini's side will therefore take the field in their first kit against Udinese. The goalkeeper will wear yellow, and the substitutes will be identified by blue training bibs. The match is Roma's last Serie A fixture before their European trip against Manchester United on Tuesday 3 November. The decision completes the colour arrangements for the Friuli trip, with Roma's players set to wear the traditional giallorossi colours at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday 31 October.

Gian Piero Gasperini has no fully fit options for Roma's trip to Friuli, and Donyell Malen and Rodrigo Mora are set to start in Udine. Mora is due to play alongside Matías Soulé, who is positioned behind the centre-forward. Paulo Dybala's return from the international break remains a question mark. Soulé's recovery time from his injury risks stretching out. The absences leave Gasperini with a thinner squad for the away fixture at Udinese in Friuli, and the coach is weighing up whether Dybala can return straight after the break. Roma's trip to Udine comes as the club looks to keep its form on the road in Serie A.

Gian Piero Gasperini has released his squad list for Udinese vs Roma, a Serie A matchday 10 fixture taking place tomorrow at 18:00. Paulo Dybala is ruled out of the trip. The squad is made up of ten defenders: Rensch, Koulierakis, N'Dicka, Molina, Hermoso, Mancini, Balerdi, Wesley, Lulli and Ghilardi. The midfield options are Cristante, De Roon, Pisilli, Di Nunzio and Mora. The attacking group includes Castro, Malen, Soulé and Camara. Di Nunzio and Camara both feature in the travelling party, with Dybala the only notable absence from the list. The matchday 10 trip to Udine comes as Roma look to keep pace in the Serie A table.

Roma travel to Udine for Saturday's Serie A tenth-round fixture against Udinese, which kicks off at 18:00 at the Bluenergy Stadium on 31 October.

Paulo Dybala remains absent, as the coach had announced recently, while the young players Di Nunzio and Camara make the journey to Udine.

Vincenzo Italiano, now coach of Besiktas, has praised Santiago Castro's chipped goal against Genoa, calling it a moment of true class. Italiano coached Castro for two years at Bologna and has always believed in his potential. Speaking to Sky Calcio Unplugged, the former Bologna boss said Castro has that kind of quality in his locker. He recalled that during training at Bologna, the Argentine regularly came up with moves of that sort, the kind of play expected from an attacker who has often found the net at important moments inside the box. Castro's Genoa goal is a reminder of that ability, and it has drawn attention to a forward who now plays for Roma. Italiano's full verdict: "Santi has those kinds of moves in him. In training, in those two years at Bologna, he came up with plays of the kind only an Argentinian player would, a player who has often managed to score important goals inside the area. He scored a really great goal, a move that was truly worthy of a champion."
