Shomurodov to continue to start alongside Dovbyk | OneFootball

Claudio Ranieri spoke very highly of Eldor Shomurodov in yesterday’s press conference.

The veteran technician called the Uzbek striker ‘fundamental’ to the team’s gameplan and reiterated his confidence in him.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Shomurodov will have another opportunity to start alongside Artem Dovbyk on Sunday, when Roma are scheduled to face Fiorentina.

So far they have played together for ten chunks of the game, 254 minutes in total. And in all these occasions the Giallorossi have closed the game by coming back from a disadvantage or by holding on to the victory.

The technical characteristics of the two match well and they have a great hunger for goals. Dovbyk has scored 11 goals in the league (16 in total), Shomurodov 4 (7 in total).
