"The only possible return is Dybala. Let's see if we can bring him back to the bench; that alone would be good. But I'm confident," Gian Piero Gasperini said in the press conference on the eve of the match against Cagliari.

"Svilar could return on Thursday or Friday. Having him for Manchester would be ideal, otherwise he'll be back for the next match against Sassuolo. Koné, on the other hand, is difficult to get before the break," he added. "There will be some rotation, we'll also see based on the opponent."

"Our goal," added the Roma coach, "is always to improve. We've certainly achieved a way of being on the pitch that's consistent over time and gives us results. The squad and many players are growing, both individually and in depth. There's also an environment that pushes us to be courageous, to approach matches with the confidence that we can do well." Commenting on Soulé 's growth, he explained: "There's no doubt what he's doing this year, and in multiple positions, too . He's now a player who's gaining a certain maturity, but there are also other things he can continue to improve. He was also called up to the Argentina squad, and that's another good sign."

Gaperini reiterated his and the entire team's conviction after the big matches: "They've always been close matches. We've always come out on top against Inter, Napoli, and Como, playing on equal terms. It's true that we didn't win, but neither did the others. We're doing well because we always have to look at the ninety minutes as a whole."
