Mateo Retegui - Misses penalty Thursday Retegui recorded two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Arsenal.

His penalty shot -- which was not perfect -- was saved by David Raya in the 51st minute and Retegui pounced on the rebound and took another shot, which was also saved by Raya. It was a brutal moment for Retegui, one that ultimately cost his side two crucial points. He was subbed off in the 70th minute for Nicolo Zaniolo.

He has two more Serie A matches before he returns in the Champions League at Shakhtar Donetsk on Oct. 2, a fixture that he has a decent chance to keep another clean sheet in.

Ibrahim Sulemana - Unused versus Fiorentina Sulemana (undisclosed) didn't play in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Fiorentina.

Impact Djimsiti made a very quick recovery after getting hurt early in the break but isn't a lock to retain the starting job as he trained fully only late in the week. The alternative options are Odilon Kossounou and Marten de Roon. The second solution would open up a spot in the midfield.
