Ismaël Koné suffers broken leg in World Cup clash between Canada and Qatar

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.
