Roma's Dybala, Svilar and Mancini return to partial training

What happened

Paulo Dybala, Mile Svilar and Gianluca Mancini each took part in a portion of Roma's training session with the rest of the squad, Corriere dello Sport reported, a step toward their return. Gollini, by contrast, trained separately. After the session the team was to pause for a few days, resuming Tuesday afternoon, with Gian Piero Gasperini using the international break to recover key players.

Report details

Dybala has been out since 14 October, when he stayed in the dressing room at half-time of the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid at the Olimpico because of discomfort in his right calf. What was initially described as fatigue was later found by an MRI to be a small lesion in the calf muscle. Svilar's situation is more complex: the goalkeeper injured a foot during a training session at Trigoria, a stress fracture of the fifth toe of his right foot. Mancini stopped on the eve of the break, missing the Sassuolo match with a muscle strain in his right hamstring and also forgoing a national team call-up.

Roma return to action after the international break at Parma on 21 November at 18:00, then travel to Paris on 25 November.
