Not even time to enjoy a squad that is finally almost complete than José Mourinho must immediately find a solution to the total emergency that was created during Roma-Fiorentina. He had everyone available except the long-term patients Kumbulla, Abraham and Smalling. He had underlined this during the pre-match press conference when talking about the numerous combinations in midfield. And instead, the week that lies ahead will be a very complicated one. Sheriff on Thursday and Bologna on Sunday will be two matches in which rotations will become decisive. They are disqualified in the championship Lukaku and Zalewski who will play in the cup.

Roma-Fiorentina, the report cards: Pellegrini lights up little (5), Lukaku goals and crazy red card (6)
Dybala, injury in Roma-Fiorentina: problem with the flexor of the left thigh, but there is optimism
For both matches, however, Dybala, Azmoun and Spinazzola will be missing.
The Argentine suffered some discomfort in his left thigh flexor and asked for a substitution in the 23rd minute as soon as he felt pain after the slide on Arthur and this may have prevented him from injuring himself. Today he will undergo tests that will return a more precise diagnosis. A quick recovery is not ruled out. Azmoun, his natural replacement, had a problem with his right calf which is cause for concern. It’s not the same one that prevented him from participating in summer training with Bayer Leverkusen, but it still remains a muscular problem to monitor. Finally, Spinazzola remained on the bench due to a problem in his right thigh which he will try to resolve by Sunday. Therefore, the biggest problems will be in attack where 3 out of 5 players will not be available for Bologna. In the absence of quick recoveries, room for the El Shaarawy-Belotti duo who played together from the start in the championship opener against Salernitana and then with Milan. The Gallo, however, has lost the trust of the Special One who has not used him in Serie A since Roma-Lecce on 5 November and has not been a starter since the match against Monza on 22 October.
