Centre-forward Donyell Malen has got his Serie A career off to a flying start, with five goals in two matches at the start of this season and an overall record of 19 goals from 20 league matches since joining Roma from Aston Villa in January. Malen's impressive form has been a key factor in Roma's perfect start to the 2026-27 Serie A season.
However, there had been concerns in the Giallorossi camp earlier this week that Paulo Dybala was at risk of missing out for the visit of Atalanta on Saturday evening. According to the latest updates, Dybala is back in contention and is pushing to be included in the starting line-up. Matias Soule is the likely option to join Malen and Rodrigo Mora in attack if Dybala starts on the bench.
Evan Ndicka was not involved against Lecce last weekend but is also pushing to return to the starting XI and could replace Daniele Ghilardi in the back three. Maurizio Sarri could hand Franck Kessie his second Atalanta debut on Saturday evening, but the Ivorian is most likely to be introduced from the subs bench in the second half. Jonathan Rowe could also be introduced for his first Dea appearance following his €40m move from Bologna.
