Rui Patricio - Keeps clean sheet versus Frosinone Patricio made zero saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Frosinone.

Impact Patricio saw the opposition missing the target on two great chances during the first half but then didn't see any action throughout the rest of the contest. This was the second clean sheet over the last four starts for the goalkeeper, who will try to keep it up during next Sunday's visit to Cagliari.

Paulo Dybala - Logs two assists versus Frosinone Dybala provided two assists, had one off-target shots, created six chances, sent in four crosses (one accurate), made four tackles (two won) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-0...

Impact Dybala had a man-of-the-match performance here as he assisted both goals and created several other opportunities for teammates, being a threat every time he touched the ball. These were the first two assists of the campaign for the star forward, who will probably rack up many more moving forward.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Scores first goal of the season Pellegrini scored a goal off three shots (one on target), created one chance, made four tackles (two won) and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-0 win over Frosinone.

Impact Pellegrini was very active in the middle of the park during his second consecutive start and crowned his performance with a goal in the 83rd minute that sealed the 2-0 win for Roma. The captain looks fully fit after recovering from a thigh injury that made him miss some matches and will be certainly a key piece in a squad full of ambitions for this season.

Romelu Lukaku - Scores opener versus Frosinone Lukaku scored a goal off three shots (two on target) and created two chances during Sunday's 2-0 win over Frosinone.

Impact Lukaku struck again for Roma, this time open the scoring in the 21st minute after a great assist from Paulo Dybala. That's now three goals over four league starts for the forward since joining Roma at the end of the transfer window and he'll try to add to his account during next Sunday's visit to Cagliari.

Diego Llorente - Poised to miss more time Llorente (thigh) "won't be available Thursday, and we'll see about Sunday, but I'm not optimistic," Jose Mourinho relayed.

Impact Llorente is nursing a minor thigh problem, but the short turnarounds will lead to a multi-game absence. Their defense hasn't been great sans him and Chris Smalling, but they might not rush him back given the upcoming international break.

OCTOBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Smalling - Likely out for next two games Smalling (thigh) "would need a miracle to be available against Cagliari Sunday," Jose Mourinho announced.

Impact Smalling has missed five consecutive matches due to a thigh injury and is likely to be given the break to get into acceptable shape. Bryan Cristante, Evan N'Dicka, and Gianluca Mancini played in the back with him and Diego Llorente sidelined.

Diego Llorente - Out versus Frosione Llorente will miss Sunday's game against Frosione and likely further fixtures due to a flexor problem, Il Messaggero informs.

Impact Llorente is still undergoing evaluations but will be shelved Sunday after subbing off in the midweek round. Jose Mourinho alluded that they wouldn't turn to a four-man defense despite being two center-backs down, so either Bryan Cristante or Zeki Celik will fill in.

Jose Mourinho takes some of the blame for Roma's 4-1 loss to Genoa: 'There is no time to cry'

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Returns to pitch Thursday Pellegrini had five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Genoa.

Impact Pellegrini started Thursday's match after missing the last three with a thigh injury. He put together a decent outing as he recorded five crosses and three corners, something he has now done in each of his three appearances this season. He was subbed off the pitch in the 78th minute for Stephan El Shaarawy.

Paulo Dybala - Productive in blowout loss Dybala had three shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Thursday's 4-1 loss versus Genoa.

Impact Dybala put together a good individual performance Thursday despite his team losing by three goals. He created a season-high three chances and set second-bests in crosses and corners taken. He also drew three fouls and intercepted one pass as he played the full 90 minutes for just the second time this season.

Leonardo Spinazzola - Assists in loss to Genoa Spinazzola assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 4-1 defeat versus Genoa.

Impact Spinazzola set up his team's lone goal Thursday as his cross in the 22nd minute connected with Bryan Cristante's head to tie the match at 1-1. It was the only chance he created in the match, but it was good enough to bag him his first assist of the season. He also recorded four crosses (one accurate) before being subbed off in the 78th minute for Houssem Aouar.

Bryan Cristante - Scores in blowout loss Cristante scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 4-1 loss versus Genoa.

Impact Cristante scored his team's lone goal of Thursday's match, a header in the 22nd minute set up by Leandro Spinazzola's cross to tie the match at 1-1. It marks Cristante's fifth goal contribution of the season (two goals and three assists), an impressive return especially considering Roma's poor form overall.

Rui Patricio - Poor in loss to Genoa Patricio recorded no saves and allowed four goals in Thursday's 4-1 loss against Genoa.

Impact Patricio conceded a season-high four goals in Thursday's loss, and to make matters worse he failed to register a save against a Genoa side which had scored just four goals in five matches prior to Thursday. After his worst match of the season, he will look to get back on track Sunday versus Frosinone, a side which has scored nine goals in six league matches this season.

Diego Llorente - Brought off with knock Llorente (knock) suffered a knock and was brought off during Thursday's clash with Genoa.

Impact Llorente was brought off inside the opening 30 minutes due to a knock. The injury didn't immediately appear to be serious but the defender was in clear discomfort. Llorente was replaced by Edoardo Bove, who could see more playing time during a Sunday clash with Frosinone if Llorente can't get back on the pitch.

Chris Smalling - Will miss Genoa clash Smalling won't return in Thursday's game versus Genoa and might be held out until the next international break, Corriere dello Sport informs.

Impact Smalling is nursing tendonitis and not a proper muscular injury, and resting is the only way for it to heal. He'll be assessed on a game-to-game basis, but the staff is leaning toward shutting him down for a while. Evan N'Dicka has filled in for him in the back so far.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Romelu Lukaku - Scores in third straight match Lukaku scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Lukaku notched his third straight match in all competitions with a goal after scoring a solo goal in the 68th minute to give Roma the lead. It took the striker a couple of matches with his new club until he broke the starting lineup, but since then, he has been on fire. His last three appearances have all been starts that have resulted in a goal, and he will look to keep the momentum rolling into his next match against Genoa.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Three saves in draw Patricio registered three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Patricio was okay in Sunday's draw, notching three saves while allowing one goal. His performances this year have been slightly questionable, only registering one clean sheet and eight saves while giving up seven goals through five matches. His next contest will be against a Torino team that has only scored six goals in five games.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Unused versus Torino Pellegrini (thigh) didn't feature in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Torino.

Impact Pellegri was back with the squad but didn't get minutes, and Jose Mourinho admitted he wasn't in great shape yet afterward. He'll be in a better spot for Thursday's game versus Genoa but will be hard-pressed to return to the XI.
