AS Roma enters this crucial clash grappling with a severe injury crisis that leaves manager Gian Piero Gasperini with limited options.
The midfield is hit hardest, with Lorenzo Pellegrini sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury and Manu Koné also unavailable.
The attack is equally depleted; Paulo Dybala is out following knee surgery, while Artem Dovbyk’s season has likely ended due to a muscle tear.
Additionally, Evan Ferguson and Wesley remain in the treatment room. On a positive note, the defence receives a boost as Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso are back in training and are expected to be available.

Niccolo Pisilli has also recovered from an ankle twist. Much of the scoring burden will fall on Donyell Malen, who enters the match in scintillating form following a recent hat-trick, supported by Matias Soule and Stephan El Shaarawy.
Atalanta team news
Atalanta travels to the capital with a largely healthy squad. The most notable news is the full return of Gianluca Scamacca; after appearing on the bench in the previous fixture, the striker is now fit to lead the line.
The squad boasts a strong core, with Marten de Roon and Ederson anchoring the midfield, while Charles De Ketelaere continues to be a creative engine. Former Roma winger Nicola Zalewski is also set to start against his old club.
Form
AS Roma
AS Roma enters this match with inconsistent form, recording three losses and two wins in their last five Serie A outings. Their most recent result was a morale-boosting 3–0 home victory against Pisa, highlighted by a Donyell Malen hat-trick. Despite recent away struggles, they remain formidable at the Stadio Olimpico, where they have secured 11 wins this season and are currently on a nine-match unbeaten streak at home in the league.
Atalanta
Atalanta lost just once in their previous five league games. They suffered a narrow 0–1 loss to Juventus in their last fixture, which has left their Champions League qualification hopes hanging by a thread. However, they maintain a “psychological edge” in this matchup as they are unbeaten against AS Roma in their last seven head-to-head meetings since 2022, winning six out of those seven games.
