Roma's Donyell Malen has the potential to make history against Torino in their upcoming Serie A match. The Dutch attacker has already scored a hat-trick and a brace this season for the Giallorossi. However, according to Corriere dello Sport, only two players in Roma's history have managed to net more than five goals in the first four games of the Serie A. Pedro Manfredini achieved this feat during the 1960/61 season with seven goals, while Francesco Totti accomplished the same in the 2000/01 campaign, scoring six goals.
If Malen can replicate this performance against Torino, he would become the third player in Roma's history to achieve such an impressive feat. The newspaper notes that manager Gian Piero Gasperini is considering rotating his squad due to a mid-week Champions League away fixture. Nonetheless, Malen is expected to start for Roma against the Turin club, as he is regarded as an indispensable asset to the team.
