Bailey could also recover and start from the bench for Sunday’s match against Cremonese
Reinforcements arrive. Not those from the transfer market for which we will have to wait until January. But Gasperini, at the restart of a championship in which Roma dominate the table together with Inter, will have Evan Ferguson at his full disposal. The Irishman, in fact, today returned to training regularly with the group after 20 days out caused by a sprained ankle which also prevented him from taking part in his national team’s historic victory against Hungary. Ferguson, on Sunday in Cremona, will be the only central striker available to Gasperini and will have to give a signal to erase a difficult start. So far, in fact, the Irishman has zero goals in the championship but now he can take advantage of Dovbyk’s absence (still 1 month in the pits) to turn the season around.
BAILEY AND DYBALA
—
And the good news for Gasp doesn’t end there. Leon Bailey is also on his way back. The Jamaican, stopped by a hamstring muscle injury, carried out further personalized work yesterday but hopes to return to the group before Saturday and therefore at least be on the bench against Cremonese. Otherwise we will have to wait until November 27th in the Europa League home match against Midtjylland. In those days Paulo Dybala should also gradually return to the group. The latest checks have confirmed the progress of the Argentine who had suffered an injury when he kicked (and missed) the penalty against Milan. The visit, which Dybala underwent in the last few hours, gave encouraging answers, thus changing the picture of the situation and increasing the chances of seeing Joya among the squad for the match against Napoli on 30 November.
