Matías Soule has taken on a larger role for Roma while Paulo Dybala is sidelined, giving the Argentina international a prominent responsibility during the club’s campaign.
Greater responsibility under Gasperini
According to Tuttosport, the 23-year-old has taken on far more responsibility in his second season under Gian Piero Gasperini.
Output and the Sassuolo win
Soule has four goals and five assists in 1,028 minutes across Serie A and the Champions League. He did not score or assist in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Sassuolo, with Gasperini describing his performance as “extraordinary”.
Roma are unbeaten after 11 games and two points behind leaders Lazio.
Argentina recognition
Soule earned his first Argentina cap from Lionel Scaloni in last month’s 7-0 friendly win over Burkina Faso.
Summer link and expected return
Soule was linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico during the summer. Pubalgia affected the end of his campaign last season, and he eventually missed around six weeks.
Dybala is expected back after the international break.
