Dybala back in training as Svilar drops protective boot ahead of Parma clash

Dybala and Mancini have returned to training with the group at Trigoria, with both now in contention for Roma's trip to Parma on 21 November. The squad resumed work after three days' rest with thirteen players away on international duty, and Gian Piero Gasperini used the break to clear the injury list. Paulo Dybala is gradually overcoming a calf injury, while Gianluca Mancini has almost shaken off a muscle complaint. Their responses will be assessed over the coming days, but the chances of both being available at the Tardini are growing. There are also encouraging signs for Mile Svilar, who is still training apart from the group but has put his boots back on after weeks in a protective boot for a foot injury, boosting hopes of his return in goal against Parma. His recovery will also allow Pierluigi Gollini to recover more calmly from the back problem that cost him the last two matches. Gasperini is now looking ahead to the January window and will discuss the matter this week with sporting director Tony D'Amico and chief executive John Galantic. The coach's priority is to add offensive options with a profile offering pace and unpredictability. Three different options are on the club's list, though none has yet become a concrete negotiation. The internal discussions come against a backdrop of a cool and distant relationship between Gasperini and the Friedkin family. No meetings with the ownership are currently planned to define winter strategy, so the talks with D'Amico and Galantic will serve to set priorities and room for manoeuvre while awaiting decisions from the American owners.

Mile Svilar has been given the all-clear by doctors and is set to return to Roma's goal after the international break, Il Messaggero reports. The Belgian goalkeeper, who has been out since suffering a stress fracture to the fifth toe of his right foot in training just over a month ago, has been cleared following a medical check. Choosing conservative treatment rather than surgery avoided an operation and allowed the bone callus to form properly. Svilar has since taken part in his first outfield training session, although it was on a modified basis and alongside Gollini. The aim of the coaching staff is to have him back as a regular starter for the away trip to Parma when the league resumes. His absence has been keenly felt at the back. The numbers show the difference: with Svilar in goal, Roma conceded an average of 0.67 goals per match and saved 80% of shots faced. In his absence, the average rose to 1.55 goals conceded per match, with the save percentage falling to 65.9%. Gasperini regains his defensive anchor as the season resumes. Beyond his command of the box, Svilar's positioning and high-level sweeping out of his area stand out. He has also made huge strides with the ball at his feet, evolving into something of a deep-lying playmaker. That development has made him an indispensable part of Gasperini's system. Il Messaggero's report confirms that the goalkeeper's return is now a question of when he resumes full training and then selection, with the Parma fixture the target date for his comeback.

Police in France have cut the number of tickets available to Roma supporters for the Champions League trip to Paris Saint-Germain, reducing the away allocation at the Parc des Princes from 2,376 to 1,500. The move, reported by Daniele Aloisi in Il Messaggero, is linked to a friendship between PSG's ultras and Napoli's supporters, which has raised public order concerns for the French authorities. Tickets go on sale from today at 12:00. The decision comes as Roma prepare for the fixture in Paris on 25 November. Dybala has returned to partial training with the group in Trigoria, nearly a month after the injury he picked up against Real Madrid on 14 October. Yesterday he showed sharp touches and scored in a training-ground game, which is good news for Gasperini. Gollini's return has slipped, but it is not a cause for concern. Rensch is heading towards missing the trip to Parma's Tardini. Roma fans will still be present at the Parc des Princes, although the decision on Parma remains on standby. The goal is for the squad to be fit for Paris on 25 November.

Paulo Dybala's return from injury is excellent news for Gian Piero Gasperini, but it brings a tactical dilemma, as Matías Soulé has raised his level considerably during Dybala's absence, mainly playing on the right flank. That is the area of the pitch Dybala also considers ideal for showcasing his qualities, so the coach must find a way to fit both Argentinians together without sacrificing the good form Soulé has shown in recent weeks. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Soulé has used his compatriot's injury to become an increasingly central figure in Roma's attacking play. Starting on the right, he can receive the ball on his stronger foot, cut inside and look for a shot or a through ball for team-mates. It is a position that lets him make the most of his strengths, and he has been offering particularly convincing performances from there. The problem is that Dybala also prefers that flank. When Gasperini has had both players available at the same time, he has often chosen to deploy the Joya on the right and move Soulé to the opposite side. That arrangement could now be reconsidered, precisely because of the growth of the former Frosinone player. One option under study could be to use Dybala on the left, leaving Soulé free to start from the right. The No. 21 has enough technical quality and experience to adapt to other areas of the final third, although he naturally prefers to receive the ball on his left foot. Gasperini, moreover, considers versatility a fundamental trait of his attacking players. The alternative is to alternate the two Argentinians, even during matches, using Dybala's recovery to increase rotation in a department that has had to cope with numerous absences in recent weeks. Dybala has resumed partial training with the group and, barring setbacks, will be available for the match against Parma on 21 November. His return could therefore change Roma's attacking balance, but this time the certainty to build from is an increasingly prominent Soulé. It will be up to Gasperini to decide how to make the most of both players without holding back the development of the younger of the two Argentinians.

Roma's squad news is mixed during the international break: Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini took part in part of Thursday's training session with the group at Trigoria, while Pierluigi Gollini and Mile Svilar trained separately. Eleven Roma players are currently with their national teams. Gian Piero Gasperini continues to work with the rest of the squad, focusing on recovering injured players ahead of the resumption of Serie A. For Svilar, the programme was agreed with the medical staff, and his condition will be assessed daily, with the aim of having him available for the match against Parma. Elsewhere, the future of Endrick may lie away from Real Madrid. According to Matteo Moretto, reporting on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, the decision will rest mainly with the player, even though José Mourinho is in favour of keeping him at the Spanish club. If the Brazilian forward asked for more space and continuity, Real Madrid would be willing to consider a loan departure. The 2006-born player, who previously had a spell at Lyon, is keen to accumulate minutes and keep developing. Two Italian clubs are monitoring the situation, but Roma currently appear to have the advantage: they maintain constant contact and are following developments closely. AC Milan are further in the background, despite good relations with Roc Nation, the agency that manages the Brazilian's interests. The chances of a loan exit are reportedly increasing. In a long interview with Diario Marca, Niccolò Pisilli spoke about his bond with Roma, the coaches who shaped his career and his ambitions. The midfielder warmly recalled José Mourinho, who gave him his first-team debut and his first goal for the club: "He is a truly exquisite person. I will always be grateful to him." He also praised Gian Piero Gasperini, describing him as a master for his work at Atalanta and for the results achieved in his first season in Rome. Pisilli spoke of Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi as legendary figures, stressing the gap between their history and his own few minutes as captain. Among his football role models he named Pedri, admiring his personality and calmness on the ball. On Roma's form, he recalled the performance against Real Madrid, arguing the team has shown it can compete with anyone when it stays focused and compact. Asked what he would do if Roma won the Scudetto, he replied: "We would celebrate in great style." Roma return to action on 21 November to face Parma at the Stadio Tardini. The presence of their supporters in the away section remains uncertain: the Osservatorio Nazionale sulle Manifestazioni Sportive has postponed its assessment on the sale of tickets, without imposing restrictive measures for now. A final decision will only come after further examination. The possibility of restrictions for Roma fans, who risk being unable to follow the team to Emilia, therefore remains open. Further updates will clarify how supporters can access the stadium.

Paulo Dybala has returned to group training at Trigoria and is targeting Roma's trip to Parma on 21 November, while Endrick moves closer to a possible January loan move from Real Madrid. Roma's January market, however, is still waiting on answers from the Friedkin Group. Among the day's headlines, Gian Piero Gasperini is still awaiting clarity from the owners on his budget, and Lookman is back in the frame. Dybala has taken part in part of the session with his team-mates. Mancini is also showing encouraging signs after a problem with his hamstring. Svilar and Gollini are continuing with differentiated work, while Rensch remains out. Journalist Matteo Moretto rates the chances of a loan move for Endrick at 70 per cent, naming Roma as the main Italian suitor. The Brazilian's willingness to find more regular football will be decisive, but the deal would still need the approval of Real Madrid and of Mourinho. Endrick has played only 140 minutes in seven appearances this season, according to Corriere dello Sport, which also reports that he has turned down a move to AC Milan while Sporting Director D'Amico continues to follow him. Roma remain interested, but there is no agreement yet and there is international competition. According to Corriere della Sera, Gasperini and D'Amico do not yet know the budget available for January. A meeting with a representative of the ownership could take place in the coming days. Gasperini wants reinforcements to support the team's ambitions, but without financial guidelines D'Amico is struggling to turn sounding-out into negotiations. Il Messaggero reports a salary threshold of four million euros. Alongside Endrick, D'Amico is evaluating PSV's Ruben van Bommel and Stuttgart's Jamie Leweling, two wide players whose profiles appeal to the coach. Loan formulas remain central to the plans. Repubblica reports that Roma are monitoring Lookman, who has lost ground at Atlético Madrid under Simeone and stayed on the bench for ninety minutes in their most recent match against Barcelona. The Nigerian is a former Atalanta player who has been coached by Gasperini. There has been no transfer request and no official approach from the Spanish club, but his profile matches Roma's attacking needs. Elsewhere, agent Diego Tavano has spoken about Bove's departure from Roma, recalling a tough confrontation in August 2024 with Souloukou and Ghisolfi. According to the agent, Bove never wanted to leave Trigoria and the solutions initially proposed were not welcome. Bove later joined Fiorentina and returned emotionally in front of the Curva Sud. In an interview with Marca, Lorenzo Pisilli's team-mate Niccolò Pisilli described Gasperini as an excellent coach he learns from every day, and expressed gratitude to Mourinho, who gave him his first-team debut. Asked about the captaincy comparisons with Totti and De Rossi, he said: "They made the history of the club."

Mile Svilar is closing in on a return to action, with the Belgian goalkeeper set to start for Roma against Parma on 21 November. Svilar was back on the training ground at Trigoria on Tuesday for the first time since 2 October, when he suffered a stress fracture to the fifth toe of his right foot after a routine save. He had been wearing a protective boot for more than a month, and he has now removed it and resumed work with the gloves and boots on. His rehabilitation, carried out between Belgium and Italy, has gone to plan. Over the coming days Svilar is expected to train at full intensity and reclaim his place between the posts when Serie A resumes. The news is also encouraging for the club's medical staff on the goalkeeping front, as Pierluigi Gollini is recovering from a back strain he picked up shortly before the match in Manchester. The update was reported by Francesco Balzani in La Gazzetta dello Sport. For Gian Piero Gasperini and the Roma defence, the return of Svilar is a welcome boost ahead of the Parma fixture.
