Stuttering Roma travels to AC Milan without Mourinho and possibly Dybala
Stuttering Roma could be without two key figures when it makes the trip north to face AC Milan in Serie A on SundayJANUARY 11•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Matteo Gabbia - Bows out in cup tiltGabbia subbed off in the first half of Wednesday's 1-2 loss to Atalanta after clashing heads with an opponent, La Repubblica relayed.
ImpactGabbia just returned from the same problem and seemingly lost a tooth in the collision. The early reports suggest the decision was mostly precautionary. He'll be assessed ahead Sunday's home game versus Roma. He was making his first start since returning as Simon Kjaer was initially spared.

Marten De Roon - Subs off in midweek clashDe Roon left Wednesday's cup match against Milan in the first half due to a head injury, La Repubblica reported.
ImpactDe Roon collied with Matteo Gabbia and had to bow out after a few minutes as he wasn't feeling well. He has a few days to clear the protocol ahead of Monday's game against Sassuolo. Mario Pasalic would get the start if he couldn't.

Rafael Toloi - Option in cup fixtureToloi (calf) returned to the bench in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Milan.
ImpactToloi made his first appearance on the stat sheet since early November, as he has missed extended time with a severe calf injury. He'll be re-integrated into the rotation in the coming matches, splitting time with Berat Djimsiti, Sead Kolasinac, and newcomer Isak Hien. He has posted 15 tackles, 14 interceptions, and 21 clearances in 11 appearances this season, with four clean sheets.

Sead Kolasinac - Gets the nod in Coppa ItaliaKolasinac (thigh) played full minutes in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Milan.
ImpactKolasinac left the last game a little early, but his issue was minor and he was able to feature without any limitations a few days later. It remains to be seen whether he could be managed Monday versus Frosinone. Isak Hien or Rafael Toloi would get the nod in that event. He has tallied six tackles (four won), six clearances, and three chances created in the last four matches, contributing to one clean sheet.

Michel Ndary Adopo - Bench option in cup gameAdopo (back) was an unused sub in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Milan.
ImpactAdopo made a quick return after dealing with a back ailment. He has seen very limited playing time so far, and his role is unlikely to expand any time soon. He has tallied two tackles (zero won), three clearances, and one block in his last five appearances (one start).
