Riccardo Sottil - Starting Friday Sottil (thigh) is in the starting XI for Friday's contest against Lecce.

Impact Sottil is back with the team after three matches on the sideline, having finally healed from his thigh issue. It is a bit of a surprise to see him starting in his return, as the attacker has served as more of a rotational player this season. He has only started five times all season, so he will hope to remain in this position moving forward.

Roma signs Baldanzi and sends Belotti on loan to Fiorentina on quiet final day of transfers in Italy

It was another quiet transfer deadline day for most of the top clubs in Serie A with only Roma and Fiorentina adding to their squads

Arthur Melo - Ruled out for Lecce contest Arthur hasn't been called up for Friday's game versus Lecce.

Impact Arthur has been playing through an unspecified muscular problem in the last few weeks and isn't well enough to contribute in this one. Maxime Lopez or Rolando Mandragora will replace him in the XI.

Riccardo Sottil - Called up for Lecce game Sottil has been named in Fiorentina's squad list to face Lecce on Friday.

Impact Sotill picked up a thigh problem while warming up last week, but it was minor and won't force him to miss additional time. Nicolas Gonzalez will likely be in the XI, but Fiorentina are thin out wide behind him and Jonathan Ikone.

Andrea Belotti - Joining Fiorentina Belotti has moved from Roma to Fiorentina on a season-long loan, the team announced.

Impact Belotti played third fiddle to Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala this season, featuring especially while the latter was injured. He has scored six times and added two assists in 20 games (nine starts), logging 21 shots (12 on target) and six chances created. He'll compete primarily with Lucas Beltran, but the two might also feature together, while M'Bala Nzola risks being squeezed out of the rotation.

Cristiano Biraghi - Available against Lecce Biraghi completed a one-game ban in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Inter.

Impact Biraghi will be back Friday after missing one due to yellow-card accumulation and likely replace Fabiano Parisi at left-back. He has posted five key passes, 37 crosses (eight accurate), and 10 tackles (six won) in his last five appearances.

Lucas Martinez - Holds his own versus Inter Martinez Quarta registered two blocks, two tackles (two won), one clearance, and two chances created in Sunday's 0-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Martinez Quarta did his part defensively even though his side allowed one goal and contributed a little on the other end as well. He has logged 10 tackles (six won), four interceptions, and six clearances in the last three rounds, with no clean sheets.

Davide Faraoni - Swings in five crosses in Inter game Faraoni had five crosses (zero accurate), two interceptions, four tackles (one won), and one chance created in Sunday's 0-1 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Faraoni got the nod over Michael Kayode about three weeks after joining the club and held his own on both ends, co-leading his team in deliveries and saving a goal with a last-minute slide. The choice between the two might be match-up based from here on out.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Energetic against Inter Duncan registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate), three tackles (all won), and two chances created in Sunday's 0-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Duncan contributed more than usual in the final third as he took care of corner kicks with a decent touch. He has posted four key passes, 16 crosses (six accurate), and six tackles (five won) in his last five appearances.

M'bala Nzola - Takes three shots versus Inter Nzola drew two fouls, won three duels, and registered three shots (one on goal) and four clearances in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Inter Milan.

Impact Nzola got the nod late as Riccardo Sottil got hurt while warming up and had a pretty good showing, co-pacing his side in attempts, although he couldn't put one in the net. He usually alternates with Lucas Beltran, but the two featured together in this one. He has scored once and added six shots (two on target), three chances created, and four clearances in his last five showings.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Giacomo Bonaventura - Serviceable in Inter clash Bonaventura had three shots (one on goal), one tackle (one won), one interception, and four crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 0-1 defeat against Inter Milan.

Impact Bonaventura played on the left wing, but the different role didn't really impact his performance, as he co-led his team in attempts. He hasn't contributed to a goal in the last four matches, tallying seven shots (two on target), 12 crosses (five accurate), and four interceptions. Fiorentina will visit Lecce on Friday.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Ikone - Will miss next game Ikone won two duels, generated one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created, and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Inter Milan.

Impact Ikone turned in another lackluster performance and will have to sit the next game due to yellow card accumulation. Nicolas Gonzalez returned in this game and could start versus Lecce on Friday.

Nicolas Gonzalez - Misses PK in Inter clash Gonzalez drew one foul, won two duels, and had two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 0-1 loss versus Inter Milan.

Impact Gonzale played for the first time since early December after missing time due to a thigh strain and, while he looked like his usual self, he had a weak attempt from the spot, denying his team the chance to equalize. He might be managed for a while, but he should return to the XI pretty quickly. He has scored once and logged 21 shots (eight on target), six key passes, and three crosses (one accurate) in his last five appearances. Fiorentina will visit Lecce on Friday.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Pietro Terracciano - Beaten once by Inter Terracciano recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Inter.

Impact Terracciano had a solid performance but Lautaro Martinez hit the net with a point-blank header on a corner kick. He has kept three clean sheets in the last six rounds, making 19 saves and giving up four goals. Fiorentina will visit Lecce on Friday.

Riccardo Sottil - Late scratch for lineup Sottil was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's clash with Inter Milan.

Impact Sottil was set to get the start in the attacking midfield, but was removed late for an undisclosed reason. His last start was on Dec 17, as he had only started three of the last eight matches played, recording a goal and an assist in that span. M'bala Nzola will get the call to start alongside Jonathan Ikone and Giacomo Bonaventura.

Josip Brekalo - Out for Inter match Brekalo hasn't been called up for Sunday's game versus Inter because he's on the verge of transferring, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Brekalo played more than usual lately while they were short-handed, but he failed to impress, and Nicolas Gonzalez and Riccardo Sottil have both recovered from their injuries in the last couple of weeks.

Nicolas Gonzalez - Makes bench in Supercoppa Gonzalez (thigh) was an unused sub in Thursday's clash with Napoli.

Impact Gonzalez has been ramping up in training as of late and was called up for the Supercup semifinal, but he didn't get minutes. He'll probably be eased into action after missing six weeks with a thigh strain, but, if everything goes well, he will resume featuring versus Inter on Jan. 28. He has scored once and added 25 shots (ten on target), eight chances created, and 11 crosses (one accurate) in his last six games.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Cristiano Biraghi - Suspended for next game Biraghi picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the Supercup semifinal against Napoli and will miss next Sunday's home game against Inter.

Impact Biraghi will have to sit one out due to yellow-card accumulation. Fabiano Parisi is set to take his place on the left wing. Fiorentina recently signed Marco Davide Faraoni, who can start on either flank.
