Jose Mourinho's side had only conceded one goal in their opening four games of the campaign, but were dismantled at the Stadio Friuli.
Tammy Abraham earned Roma a point with the leveller in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Juventus on Paulo Dybala's return to his old stomping ground. England international Abraham headed in his first goal of the season from Dybala's knock-down midway through the second half at the Allianz Stadium to maintain an unbeaten start for Jose Mourinho's side. Roma escape Turin with a result despite being second best for much of the match and Dusan Vlahovic putting Juve ahead with a stunning free-kick with barely a minute on the clock.
Paulo Dybala will lead the Roma charge on Saturday as the team seek to build on a perfect Serie A start when he returns to Juventus, the ground he last left in tears. Roma travel to Turin following two single-goal wins from matches with Salernitana and Cremonese but with some of their pre-season optimism deflated by injuries to Georginio Wijnaldum and Nicolo Zaniolo. Zaniolo has been Roma's most impressive performer in their opening two matches but after the Italy international suffered a dislocated shoulder on Monday the onus will be on star signing Dybala to strike a blow against his former club, who let him go in the summer.
Georginio Wijnaldum suffered a broken leg in training, his new team Roma announced on Sunday. "Following an injury sustained during training this afternoon, Georginio Wijnaldum subsequently underwent medical tests that confirmed the presence of a fracture to the tibia in his right leg," the Serie A club said in a statement.

Roma on Wednesday announced the signing of Paulo Dybala on a three-year contract after the Argentina forward's deal with Juventus expired. "I arrive at a team that is growing, with a club that continues to lay an increasingly solid foundation for the future and a coach, Jose Mourinho, with whom it is a privilege to work," Dybala said in a statement. The 28-year-old had been touted for a move to Serie A runners-up Inter Milan, which would have ensured Champions League football next season.
