According to the latest news, Gian Piero Gasperini will have to reshuffle his squad for Tuesday’s Coppa Italia match against Torino as Evan Ferguson and Artem Dovbek are expected to miss out through injury.
Ferguson and Dov Beek both ruled out for Roma vs. Torino
Ferguson suffered a back injury during Roma’s 2-0 win over Sassuolo on Saturday and is currently on the sidelines for a brief period.

It remains to be seen whether he will be available for Serie A action at the weekend, but he is not expected to be available for Tuesday night’s Coppa Italia last 16 tie against Torino, according to Sky Sport Italia.

Center forward Dov Bieke was also forced to miss the game against Sassuolo with a hamstring injury, which is also expected to rule him out of Tuesday’s cup tie against Torino.

This meant Gasperini was effectively forced to use a false nine again against Torino.
Roma have also been on the lookout for new attacking reinforcements during the January transfer window. Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee and Atletico Madrid’s Giacomo Raspadori are considered the ‘favorites’ for Roma this month, however, reports on Monday suggested Roma are also interested in a move for Marseille’s Robinho Vaz and Aston Villa’s Donyel Malen.
