Mancini left out of Italy squad for Turkey as 10 players sent to Coverciano

Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini have taken part in part of Roma's training session with the group, a positive sign ahead of their full return from injury. The update came on 11 November 2026, during the international break, when 11 Roma players are away with their national teams. Gian Piero Gasperini continues to work at Trigoria with the players who remained available, with a focus on recovering the injured ahead of the resumption of the league season. The squad trained today at the Fulvio Bernardini sports centre. Pierluigi Gollini and Mile Svilar are following differentiated training. Svilar's programme has been agreed with the medical staff, and his condition will be monitored daily, with his recovery assessed step by step. The aim is for him to be available against Parma. Roma's medical department will continue to track Svilar's progress each day, adjusting his work as the recovery develops. Dybala and Mancini's partial involvement in group training marks a step towards their full return to the squad.

Paulo Dybala has returned to partial training with the Roma squad at Trigoria, while Gianluca Mancini has also received encouraging news, with both players targeting the trip to Parma on Saturday 21 November at 18:00. Roma resumed training after the rest days granted by head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, and the squad worked without the thirteen players currently on international duty. The international break gives Gasperini time to focus on recovering injured players, with the aim of having a fuller squad when Serie A resumes. The biggest boost concerns Dybala, who took part in part of the session alongside his teammates. The Argentine is completing his rehabilitation after the calf injury that forced him to miss Roma's last few matches. His return to action will be gradual, avoiding any rush that could risk a setback. Mancini, who in recent days had a problem with his right hamstring that forced him to withdraw from his national team call-up, is also making progress. His condition is not causing particular concern, and the defender should be available as normal when training resumes. If there are no setbacks, both Dybala and Mancini could return to the matchday squad for Parma. Goalkeepers Mile Svilar and Pierluigi Gollini are following differentiated training and are targeting a return against the Ducali. Devyne Rensch is also ruled out. The break therefore arrives at the right moment to rebuild the squad's rotations. Gasperini hopes to put behind him at least part of the injury crisis of recent weeks. The next step will be to gradually increase Dybala's training loads and verify Mancini's full physical fitness before giving the final green light for both to return to action.

Roma's Mile Svilar has trained with both boots for the first time, no longer wearing the protective boot on his foot that he had used until the final days, a positive development for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Roma returned to training at Trigoria with the players who did not leave for international duty. Svilar's fitness will still be assessed day by day ahead of a possible return in Parma on 21 November, with Paris to follow. Paulo Dybala also returned to the pitch and trained partially with the group, while Gianluca Mancini, who remained in Rome, did the same. Pierluigi Gollini completed individualised work. There is optimism over Svilar and Dybala, but their conditions still need to be evaluated.

Roma have 13 players called up by their national teams for the November break, a total that places them level with AC Milan and Como in the chasing pack behind Inter, Torino and Frosinone, who lead on 14. The squad list was drawn from the official call-ups for the November fixtures and is subject to changes before the matches. The Roma contingent includes goalkeepers Devis Vásquez and Giorgio De Marzi; forwards Santiago Castro, Donyell Malen, Rodrigo Mora and Matías Soulé; defenders Leonardo Balerdi, Daniele Ghilardi, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Emanuele Lulli, Evan N'Dicka and Wesley; and midfielder Niccolò Pisilli. Behind the leaders, Atalanta and Udinese are on 12, Juventus have 11, and Napoli and Lazio have eight, with the two Lazio absentees excluded from that count. The total could have been higher, potentially reaching or exceeding 17, had several physical issues or technical decisions by the national coaches gone differently. Gianluca Mancini was initially called up by Italy but had to withdraw with a muscle problem that has also kept him out of the recent match against Sassuolo. Italy coach also left Bryan Cristante out of the squad, although the coach explained he had no need to test him at this stage. Manu Koné, who returned and started against Sassuolo, was left out of France's squad by coach Zidane to avoid a possible physical setback. Nahuel Molina had been called up late by Argentina, but a one-match suspension still to be served, together with opposition from Roma and Gian Piero Gasperini, blocked his departure.

Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante has been left out of Italy coach Roberto Mancini's 31-man squad for the Nations League matches against France and Belgium, despite a strong start to the season with Roma. Mancini addressed the decision at a press conference today at Coverciano, where the squad is gathering. Mancini said: "We know Cristante, there is no need to prove him. When we need him, we will call him." He stressed that the decision was not technical. Instead, he said, it was aimed at giving more room to young players who will have the chance to show what they can do in the senior national team shirt. Two Roma players have been called up: Daniele Ghilardi and Niccolò Pisilli.

Roma head into the international break with a near-perfect run to protect, and Gian Piero Gasperini has used a demanding stretch of nine matches in 27 days to rotate his squad. Gasperini admitted the schedule had been tough but said it had allowed him to use the whole squad: "We had tough clashes like Como, Napoli, Manchester and Real Madrid. The management was not a problem, and this allowed us to rotate the whole squad." During that intense spell, players who had been on the fringes stepped forward. Rodrigo Mora took advantage of Paulo Dybala's extended absence to win a key role, scoring in three consecutive matches. De Roon showed why Gasperini wanted him in the capital, while Ghilardi, Gollini and Vásquez also got their chances. Gasperini gave everyone a run-out, partly out of necessity. Both the coach and D'Amico have acknowledged that the squad is thin, and with a few injuries it risks becoming very thin indeed. The debate over whether the break is a blessing may therefore be answered by the players Roma get back when the league resumes. Roma are among the clubs that could benefit most from the pause. Their injuries have required fairly long recovery periods, but few players have been affected. The problem is that nearly all of them are key figures in the Giallorossi set-up. Chief among them is Mile Svilar, who has been out since 10 October and has kept training both at Trigoria and in individual sessions with a fitness coach, without managing to speed up his recovery. Tests carried out about ten days ago led the club and the goalkeeper to choose caution. The aim is for him to return against Parma, and then reach peak condition for the highly delicate trip to Paris. Dybala is on the same timetable. The calf injury he suffered against Real Madrid kept him out longer than expected, but the Argentine is now ready to return and make a difference, perhaps also finding a goal he has not scored since 18 January. Manu Koné has already returned, playing 66 excellent minutes against Sassuolo. The Frenchman was not called up by his national team and will use these days to regain his best condition. He will have an extra incentive compared with his team-mates: to impress at the Parc des Princes, a stadium a few kilometres from the home where he grew up. Gasperini hopes to get back the Roma of the "first lines", because he refuses to talk about starters. The coach remains torn about the break: "It interrupts the league again, although this time only for a week. I like international matches when they play for something important. For friendlies or matches of little consequence, it is a pity to lose so many players." Roma face another demanding run: seven matches in 29 days, during which the Giallorossi will play a major part of their season. The fixtures include the already mentioned trip to Paris Saint-Germain, the home match against Sporting, the game against Juventus and, above all, the derby against Lazio on 13 December. The next month will be crucial in measuring Roma's real ambitions, with the January transfer window expected to bring fresh impetus.
