Roma’s Dybala back in squad: Bailey misses Villa game amid rumours | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini has named his 22-man squad for Roma’s final pre-season friendly match against Frosinone.

There is good news for the Giallorossi as Paulo Dybala has returned to the squad, alongside Evan Ndicka. This is a huge boost for Gasperini’s side as they look to have recovered two key players moments before the real season begins.

Full squad:

Goalkeepers: Vasquez, Zelezny, Svilar. Defenders: Rensch, Angelino, Ndicka, Celik, Hermoso, Mancini, Wesley, Lulli, Ghilardi. Midfielders: Cristante, El Aynaoui, Kone, Baldanzi, Pisilli. Forwards: Dovbyk, Ferguson, Soulé, Dybala, El Shaarawy.

Meanwhile, Roma target Bailey absent for Villa

Meanwhile, Roma-linked Jamaican winger Leon Bailey is absent for Aston Villa’s Premier League opener against Newcastle.

With the former Bayer Leverkusen forward not having been selected, this only adds more fuel to the fire amid suggestions he could join Jadon Sancho in a move to the Italian capital. However, both moves have faced a fresh obstacle as it appears that Manu Kone will not be leaving the club and therefore funding moves for Premier League stars becomes once again difficult.
