Paulo Dybala is confirmed absent from Roma's squad for the Napoli clash on Sunday evening, while Matias Soule is expected to be on the bench at the very least, according to 'Sky Sport' Italy.

The match will be held at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium at 9:45 PM Cairo time, and coach Gian Piero Gasperini had indicated in his press conference concerns about the physical readiness of the duo.

According to the report, Dybala is still suffering from persistent knee pain, prompting the technical staff not to risk involving him in the anticipated confrontation. Meanwhile, Soule is dealing with a recurring problem in the adductor muscle, but he will travel with the team to Napoli, remaining doubtful for starting participation.

Roma also misses the services of Manu Koné, Evan Ferguson, Artem Dovbyk, and Stephan El Shaarawy, while Angeliño and Rubén Vás will only be available on the bench.
