Gian Piero Gasperini, the coach of Roma, will have to adjust his lineup for the match against Torino on Tuesday in the Coppa Italia round of 16, after it was confirmed that forwards Ivan Ferguson and Artem Dovbek will be absent due to injuries, according to the latest reports from Football Italia.

Ferguson suffered a severe blow to his back during Roma's 2-0 win over Sassuolo on Saturday and is expected to spend a short period on the bench. He is unlikely to participate in Tuesday evening's match against Torino, although he may be ready for the Serie A games over the weekend.

As for Duvbek, he was also forced to miss the match against Sassuolo due to a hamstring injury, which will prevent him from playing against Torino in the cup, forcing Gasperini to rely on the false nine formation again in the starting lineup.

In the context of strengthening the team's ranks, Roma continues to search for new forwards during the January transfer window. Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United and Raspadori from Atlético Madrid are considered the top preferred options, while Monday's reports also indicate the club's interest in signing Robinho Vaz from Marseille and Donyell Malen from Aston Villa.
