Eldor Shomurodov ready to replace Dovbyk in Genoa showdown

Roma are monitoring the situation around Artem Dovbyk’s latest injury.

The Ukrainian striker was forced to return from international duty after continuing to experience pain in his abductor muscle.

The injury was sustained during Juventus-Roma, and despite joining Ukraine’s training camp for the upcoming Nations League fixtures, it was ultimately decided that Dovbyk return to Roma to continue treatment.

While the Giallorossi intend to try and recover Dovbyk for the first game after the international break with Genoa, Il Messaggero reports that Eldor Shomurodov is getting ready to slot in his place if necessary.

Otherwise, De Rossi could also choose to deploy Paulo Dybala as a false 9.
