Some biggies absent, others in doubt and many headaches to solve.

Roma still hunting for its real dimension after a highly erratic performance so far in the league and the disappointing draw with Union Saint Gilloise in the Europa League. On Saturday it will be Serie A again, with Bologna expected at the Olimpico, and Ivan Juric realizes the importance of making a full haul. To do so, forò he will have to give up several team bigwigs.

One of them è once again Paulo Dybala, destined to miss another important Roma fixture due to injury. Confirming this è was Juric himself in the press conference held on Saturday: "Against Bologna he will not be thereà. He felt a discomfort. About Pellegrini, however, I do not know. I still have to think about it".

Another case that grips this complex phase of Roma’s season è that concerning Mats Hummels. Juric’s words are clear: "There have never been quarrels, he è a true professional. Però I have to make technical evaluations, and I can only choose one, in the Europa League I chose Cristante and he è behaved well. I realize that the situation is heavy, I too expected more. But I have to be honest with myself and my work".

More wide-ranging is the discourse on Roma’s difficulties, another issue on which Juric did not è hide: "Whoever says that this è the situation is not è severe. Until this moment I agree too. Positive aspects I see, but after a while'it's clear that there are things I don&#39t like and that need to be resolved. If I am honest, in some moments I feel the team. In others, more negative ones I don&#39t, and I don&#39t see the players making a difference in terms of concentration and performance".
