Roma Coach Hints At Ex Juventus & Borussia Dortmund Stars’ Fitness For Inter Milan Clash: ‘We’ll Evaluate Them’
Roma coach Ivan Juric believes that Paulo Dybala and Mats Hummels will be fit for his team’s Serie A clash with Inter Milan.
The Giallorossi coach updated on the pair’s fitness in a press conference ahead of his team’s match against Monza tomorrow, via FCInterNews.
Inter take on Roma in their first match back from the international break.
The Nerazzurri and the Giallorossi face off after having taken on Torino and Monza respectively this weekend.
The two sides will be out of action for a couple weeks during the break. And then, it will be time for a meeting of two of Serie A’s biggest sides.
Inter are the defending champions, and are looking to find the kind of consistency they had last season under Simone Inzaghi.
Roma, meanwhile, have already changed their coach this season. They sacked legendary former midfielder Daniele De Rossi, replacing him with former Torino and Hellas Verona coach Juric.
Juric is naturally still only at the beginning of the process of putting his stamp on the team.
But there are already some early signs that Roma have an idea of how they want to play under the guidance of the Croatian tactician.
Naturally, Roma coach Juric will want to have as many key players as possible available for the match against Inter.
The former Verona coach is still sorting out exactly what the strongest starting eleven available to him looks like.
And defender Hummels could certainly play a big role.
Roma signed the 2014 World Cup winner over the summer on a free transfer. He replaced Chris Smalling.
Meanwhile, former Juventus and Palermo forward has been Roma’s attacking talisman since he arrived in 2022.
Juric said that “Hummels is starting to feel better.”
“We’ll evaluate him in training,” the coach explained.
“And the same goes for Dybala,” the Roma coach added.
