Dybala and Ndicka pass Roma fitness tests with full session

Paulo Dybala and Evan Ndicka both completed AS Roma's full training session today, indicating they will be ready for Saturday's match against Atalanta. The Serie A Week 3 fixture is set to begin at the Stadio Olimpico at 19:45 UK time (20:45 CEST). Coach Gian Piero Gasperini had expressed concerns over the two players before the press conference.

Dybala reportedly tried various exercises in training to assess his muscles' response to the increased strain. Ndicka, who missed the 4-0 win away to Lecce last weekend due to a muscular issue, has fully recovered and is expected to return to the starting lineup, pushing Daniele Ghilardi to the bench. Devyne Rensch and Lorenzo Pellegrini are the only players currently unavailable for Roma, though the Dutch wing-back might still have a chance to play on the bench.
