Artem Dovbyk Unlikely to Feature in Roma's Next Match

Injury Fears Subside, But Fatigue Concerns Linger

Artem Dovbyk's participation in Roma's upcoming match has been cast into doubt, not due to any lingering injury concerns, but rather due to fatigue.

The Ukrainian striker sustained a knock in Roma's recent victory over Hellas Verona, sparking fears that he could be sidelined for an extended period.

However, subsequent medical examinations have revealed that Dovbyk's injury is not serious and that he has already resumed training with the rest of the squad.

Roma's Cautious Approach

Despite the positive medical update, Roma manager Jose Mourinho is taking a cautious approach with Dovbyk's return to action.

Mourinho is mindful of the striker's recent workload, having featured heavily for both club and country in recent weeks.

As a result, Mourinho is likely to err on the side of caution and give Dovbyk a rest for Roma's next match, against Cremonese, in order to manage his fatigue levels.

Alternative Options for Mourinho

In Dovbyk's absence, Mourinho has several other options to lead Roma's attack, including Tammy Abraham, Andrea Belotti, and Nicolo Zaniolo.

Abraham has been Roma's primary striker this season, while Belotti and Zaniolo have provided valuable support from the wings.

Mourinho will also have the option of fielding a more fluid attacking trio, with Zaniolo and Belotti supporting Abraham through the middle.
