Dybala: ‘Roma not where we expected to be’

Paulo Dybala admits Roma are ‘not where we expected to be’ ahead of their match with Frosinone, so they all need to ‘give something more.’

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

It has been a dire start to the campaign for the Giallorossi, who have only five points from six Serie A rounds, managing just one victory against rock bottom Empoli.

“Each of us must give something more, for the coach, for the fans and the club,” Dybala told DAZN.

“We are not where we expected to be at this stage of the season, but it is only the start and we must get back on track from today.”

La Joya was asked what is it that Roma are struggling with right now and his response was direct.

“Winning.”

There is no rest for the Argentina international, who starts again this evening despite also playing in Thursday’s 4-1 defeat to Genoa.

“I feel good. I always try to work as hard as possible so that I am at the disposal of the coach.”

Diego Llorente has joined Chris Smalling, Renato Sanches, Tammy Abraham and Marash Kumbulla on the absentee list, as injuries again pile up.

Bryan Cristante therefore drops back to join the defence.
