Dovbik is out of Roma’s squad for the home match with Torino

Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian was experiencing problems with his knee

Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik didn’t make it into the application Roma for the home match of the 10th round Serie A against Torino.

The 27-year-old forward will not start for the first time in the Italian Championship. In all tournaments for Roma, he managed to play 12 matches, scoring five goals and one assist.

Earlier it became known that Dovbik was experiencing discomfort in his knee. Because of this, the Ukrainian missed training, and his participation in today’s match was in question.

After the fiasco in Florence (1:5), head coach Ivan Yurich lost not only the Ukrainian scorer, but also the disqualified defender Mario Hermoso. In addition, midfielders Brian Cristante and Lorenzo Pellegrini sat in the reserves. There is no pure center forward in the squad; the role of the “false nine” is entrusted to Paulo Dybala.

The Roman team had a weak start in the championship – 10 points in nine rounds, 12th place (Torino had four points more and 9th place). Juric joined the team during the season, replacing club legend Daniele De Rossi.

The starting whistle for the match between Torino and Roma will sound at 21:45.
