Sky: Dybala and Abraham will not start for Roma against Milan

Paulo Dybala is not expected to be fit enough to start Roma’s game against AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow, according to a report.

Sky (via PianetaMilan) are reporting that Roma should make some changes in attack for the crucial head-to-head clash in the capital.

Dybala has doubtful for the match all week after he sustained a knock in the Atalanta game and he should start on the bench because he hasn’t fully recovered from his ankle and adductor problems yet.

The former Milan winger Stephan El Shaarawy should play in his place as one of the attacking midfielders behind the boyhood Milan fan Andrea Belotti in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Tammy Abraham also starting on the bench.

Rui Patricio should be in goal with Gianluca Mancini, Marash Kumbulla and Roger Ibanez as the back three. Nicola Zalewski and Leonardo Spinazzola are tipped to be the wing-backs with Bryan Cristante (also formerly of Milan) and Nemanja Matic in midfield, with Lorenzo Pellagrini in the duo behind Belotti.

Probable Roma XI (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Mancini, Kumbulla, Ibanez; Zalewski, Cristante, Matic, Spinazzola; Pellegrini, El Shaarawy; Belotti.
