Gianluca Mancini - Will skip Verona contest Mancini had two tackles (one won), one interception, two clearances, and one block and collected his fifth caution in Sunday's 1-3 loss to Milan.

Impact Mancini held his own but was pulled at halftime after getting booked early, and the opponents did more damage while he was no longer on the pitch. Dean Huijsen will probably take his place in Saturday's home clash with Verona.

Bryan Cristante - Picks up fifth yellow card versus Milan Cristante had one chance created and two clearances in Sunday's 1-3 loss to Milan and will sit out the next game due to yellow-card accumulation.

Impact Cristante had a rough performance like most of his teammates and will be unavailable against Verona on Saturday. Edoardo Boave and Lorenzo Pellegrini will likely start together in the midfield.

Renato Sanches - Stays on the mend Sanches (ankle) didn't travel to Milan for Sunday's match, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Impact Sanches will skip his second consecutive Serie A game due to an ankle problem. He's reportedly in talks to leave Roma in January, so he might not be deployed until that situation is sorted. He has featured very sparingly in recent fixtures, so his absence doesn't open up many minutes.

Paulo Dybala - Unavailable versus Milan Dybala (thigh) didn't train Saturday and hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Milan, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Dybala will indeed miss out as initially thought after some minor gamesmanship by his coach in the pre-game presser. Stephan El Shaarawy, Lorenzo Pellegrini, or Andrea Belotti will take his place next to Romelu Lukaku.

Paulo Dybala - Not entirely ruled out by the coach Dybala (thigh) has very slim chances to be an option against Milan, as Jose Mourinho answered: "I think not," when asked about his availability.

Impact Dybala remains a long shot for the game, but his injury is minor, and the coach didn't clearly state he would miss out. Instead, he announced he wouldn't start. He'll try to improve enough in the next day or so to make the bench. Andrea Belotti is currently the favorite to replace him.

Sardar Azmoun - Leaves for the AFC Asian Cup Azmoun has been called by Iran for the Asian Cup, Il Mattino reported.

Impact Azmoun was given a few extra days compared to other players after an agreement with Roma. He'll potentially be away until mid-February depending on how his team fares. He's generally a deputy up front. Andrea Belotti and Stephan El Shaarawy will absorb his limited playing time.

Partial stadium closure for Lazio after racist chants at Lukaku in Italian Cup match against Roma

Lazio has been punished with a partial stadium closure for racist chants during its Italian Cup victory against city rival Roma while players from both teams were given bans

Paulo Dybala - Nursing minor problem Dybala will miss Sunday's match against Milan due to muscle fatigue but the tests ruled out more serious injuries, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Dybala escaped without a strain and will have good chances of returning against Verona next week if everything goes well. Roma have generally turned to Andrea Belotti or Stephan El Shaarawy in the previous instances when he was out. Lorenzo Pellegrini could also advance his position in a less aggressive look.

Diego Llorente - Available for midweek bout Llorente (thigh) was an unused sub in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match against Lazio.

Impact Llorente received good news from the initial tests after being forced off over the week and was an option a few days later, although he didn't get minutes. He could be able to start Sunday against Milan with a few more practices in him. He has posted eight tackles (four won), six interceptions, and seven clearances in the last five matches, with one clean sheet.

Marash Kumbulla - Bench option in cup match Kumbulla (knee) was available in Wednesday's Coppa Italia fixture versus Lazio.

Impact Kumbulla made the game-day squad list for the first time in the campaign after being reportedly close to coming back for about a month. He'll likely get only limited minutes in the next few matches, but Roma are very thin in the role. He registered six tackles, six interceptions, and eight clearances in ten appearances last season.

Paulo Dybala - Picks up muscle issue Dybala picked up a muscle injury during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Lazio, according to manager Jose Mourinho. "Dybala? He suffered the usual muscle injury. He played a very physical m...

Impact Dybala's exact timeline for the injury is still unclear but the fact he made it to halftime seems to be encouraging that the injury may not be as serious as originally feared. Dybala will be a serious doubt for a Sunday trip to AC Milan.

Diego Llorente - Escapes without major issues Llorente (thigh) avoided a strain and is day-to-day, SportMediaset relayed.

Impact Llorente won't be an option for a midweek cup game but has a shot to recover for the next Serie A match versus Milan. Bryan Cristante or Dean Huijsen would eventually be next in line if he didn't make it.

Romelu Lukaku - Takes four shots in draw Lukaku recorded four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Atalanta.

Impact Lukaku had a decent offensive performance and took the second-most shots for Roma in the match. The forward failed to score for the second game in a row. He's still having a great campaign with 13 goals in 22 appearances (21 starts), though.

Rasmus Kristensen - Makes five clearances in draw Kristensen generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Atalanta. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the...

Impact Kristensen had a good defensive outing and led Roma with a season-high five clearances. The right-back also received his fourth yellow card so far, though. He will now need to be extra careful to avoid a suspension.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Paulo Dybala - Converts PK in draw Dybala scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Dybala converted a PK in the 39th minute to give Roma the equalizer with his fifth goal in the campaign. The forward also led his side in shots as usual with a season-high six. He led them in crosses as well with his second-best mark so far.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Makes one save in draw Patricio recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Patricio had a quiet outing, but could not keep the clean sheet at home and still has only five in the season. The goalkeeper made less than two saves for the ninth time so far. He will look to bounce back at Milan on Sunday.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Leandro Paredes - Swings in three crosses against Atalanta Paredes (lower leg) sent in three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in 17 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Atalanta.

Impact Paredes dropped to the bench due to a bruise but looked fine late in the game. He'll likely make a quick return to the XI, either replacing Lorenzo Pellegrini or with Bryan Cristante moving to the defensive line. He has tallied 16 crosses (six accurate), three chances created, and four tackles (one won) in the last five rounds.
