Bologna defender Juan Miranda has suffered an injury that puts his availability for Roma's visit in doubt. Miranda picked up the problem in Saturday's match against Parma, and tests revealed a first-degree tear of the biceps femoris in his left thigh. According to Bologna's club statement, he is expected to be out for about three weeks. The news comes as Roma prepare for a busy run of fixtures. The Giallorossi return to action on Saturday 21 November away at Parma. Four days later they face Luis Enrique's PSG in the Champions League, before hosting Juric's Monza at the Olimpico on 29 November. Their next Serie A fixture is the Friday evening early kickoff at the Dall'Ara against Bologna on 4 December, matchday 14. Bologna have been revitalised under Palladino, but they risk being without Miranda for that clash.

Roma are beginning to plan for the January transfer window, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and sporting director D'Amico both weighing up targets. Before the match against Sassuolo, D'Amico reiterated Roma's desire to bring an attacking winger to the capital. Gasperini is also pushing for an attacking winger and a midfielder. The advice to strengthen the squad carries Francesco Totti's signature, even though it came from Kuwait. Roma's options are limited, however. Any deal will have to be a loan with a possible obligation to buy, in the style of the Malen signing, because of an impending UEFA fine. Chelsea's Gittens and Real Madrid's Endrick are the front-runners in attack, while Hojbjerg has moved up the list in midfield as Marseille face a deep economic crisis. Genoa's Wiafe and Sassuolo's Bakola are also liked by the club. Oosterwolde has been ruled out. Totti's message was direct: "One or two reinforcements, then Roma can win the Scudetto." Gasperini is understood to share that view, and D'Amico has already started work on the market. Meanwhile, the squad is enjoying a rest period during the international break at Trigoria, where Dybala and Svilar are preparing to return to full training with the group.

Thirteen Roma players have left Trigoria for the November international break, a squad-wide exodus that will see the club's men return to Rome only a few days before the match against Parma. Only Inter, Frosinone and Torino have had more players called up by their national teams (14), while Roma sit level with Milan and Como. The number could have been higher, given the less than ideal condition of Mancini and Koné. Daily work at Trigoria under Gasperini was the reason Koné said no to France. Cristante is also out, as explained by Italy coach Mancini: "I didn't need to test him because I know him." Molina will not be going to Argentina; the full-back had been called up at the last minute by coach Scaloni, but Roma and Gasperini opposed the move. Malen is among the most anticipated players, and on his role with the Netherlands, Xavi was clear: "I see him as a centre-forward." The mood around Trigoria is different, with Gasperini wanting to get all his starters back to fight for the Champions League and the derby. The headline also carries a comment from Francesco Totti on the Scudetto: "Something is missing to win the Scudetto." The break brings a mix of departures and returns for Roma, with the squad's fitness and availability becoming the main focus before the next fixture against Parma.
