Gian Piero Gasperini 's Roma are preparing to return to the Champions League after their convincing win away to Udinese . On Tuesday evening, the Giallorossi will play Manchester United at Old Trafford , in a crucial match for their European campaign. To best prepare for the match, the coaching staff and the club have developed a special program, designed to limit travel and promote recovery.
As reported by Il Tempo , Roma have decided not to return to the capital after the trip to Udine , preferring to continue directly to England . The team spent the night in Friuli and will have a recovery session at Udinese's training center this morning. In the afternoon, they are scheduled to travel by coach to Trieste, from where the Giallorossi delegation will depart for Manchester.
Roma, Dybala close to missing: pre-match schedule
Gasperini and his staff's decision marks a sort of mini-retreat ahead of the European fixture, with the aim of optimizing time and ensuring the players are adequately prepared. Once they reach Manchester, Roma will follow their usual pre-match schedule. The coach, accompanied by a player, will hold a press conference around 18:20 PM, followed immediately after by a final training session.
The situation regarding Paulo Dybala, whose participation against Manchester United appears highly doubtful, remains to be monitored . Gasperini is still hoping the Argentine will be fit, but barring any positive developments in the coming hours, the striker will be forced to miss Tuesday's match. The Giallorossi staff will continue to evaluate his condition, while Roma prepares for another international test following their emphatic league victory over Udinese.
