Roma injury crisis leaves five starters out vs Genoa

Roma face injury crisis with five regular starters doubtful for the Genoa match.Paulo Dybala is challenged by Trevoh Chalobah during the Serie A match at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on Oct 11, 2026.

Medical scans for Dybala and Manu Koné start today, but both are doubtful for tomorrow’s Genoa showdown, leaving coach Gian Piero Gasperini short of five regulars.

Roma await test results for Dybala and Koné, who limped off injured in Wednesday’s Champions League loss to Real Madrid.

Gazzetta and Sky say Koné’s issue worries Roma more than Dybala’s, yet the Argentine still won’t feature against Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa, and Koné is certain to sit out.

The absentee list now also includes keeper Mile Svilar, midfielder Bryan Cristante and suspended striker Donyell Malen. For my money, losing Svilar hurts Roma’s defensive stability.

Svilar earned a straight red versus Como, triggering a one‑match ban.

Cristante and Dybala should be back for the Champions League tie with Slovan Bratislava next week, but Svilar and Koné likely miss the Parma clash on Nov 21, with Koné’s timeline pending today’s exams. Will Roma manage to field a competitive side against Parma?
