The international break may finally give Gasperini some of his key players back. Mile Svilar and Paulo Dybala are nearing a return to action, while Gianluca Mancini is aiming to recover for the league restart.

The situation is more complicated for Rensch and especially Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has chosen not to undergo tendon surgery but will still be out of action for a long time. Svilar is now close to returning.

The goalkeeper, out for about a month with a fractured right foot, was at Trigoria yesterday to continue his recovery program, despite the team’s return to training scheduled for Wednesday.

After the latest checks, Roma preferred not to rush the process: now the goal is to have him back in goal on November 21st, in the away match against Parma.

Dybala is also expected to be available at the Tardini. The Argentine is recovering from the calf injury he suffered against Real Madrid and will use these two weeks to regain top form.

The most significant news, however, concerns Lorenzo Pellegrini. The Giallorossi’s number seven, sidelined since the Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava with a serious muscle-tendon tear in his right thigh, has decided to avoid surgery, opting instead for a conservative recovery. This is a significant decision, but it won’t shorten his time out: he won’t be back on the pitch until at least January. Gasperini will therefore be without the midfielder for the remainder of 2026.
