Paulo Dybala - Still hurt Dybala (ankle/thigh) "was on the bench but couldn't play versus Milan, and we don't know his timetable," coach Jose Mourinho announced.

Impact Dybala made the game-day squad list but didn't warm up and wasn't moving around too well because of his recent ankle problem. He'll test it out in practice to determine his status for Wednesday's road game versus Monza. Tammy Abraham and Andrea Belotti started together in this one, but the latter subbed off and was substituted by Stephan El Shaarawy.

Andrea Belotti - Dealing with rib injury Belotti fractured a rib cartilage against Milan, Roma announced.

Impact Belotti had trouble breathing after crashing into an opponent and bowed out at half time. He might be forced to miss a game or two because of the issue, although he could try to play through it. Tammy Abraham will lead the line while he's out.

Marash Kumbulla - Suffers major injury Kumbulla suffered an ACL tear in his right knee versus Milan, Roma announced.

Impact Kumbulla got hurt in an unfortunate collision with Olivier Giroud and will soon have surgery. His absence could extend well into last season. When he subbed off, Bryan Cristante moved to the defense and Edoardo Bove subbed in. That could be the case again in the next couple of matches since Chris Smalling and Diego Llorente aren't expected to return from their thigh injuries.

Andrea Belotti - Forced off in Milan clash Belotti generated two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against AC Milan before leaving at halftime due to a blow, Sky reports.

Impact Belotti collided with a defender near the end of the first half where he hurt his stomach and hip. He tried to shake it off during the interval, but he ultimately elected to bow out before the play resumed. He was replaced by Stephan El Shaarawy.

Marash Kumbulla - Comes off injured against Milan Kumbulla was subbed out of Saturday's match against AC Milan in the 15th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Kumbulla was making his fifth Serie A start of the season on Saturday and his first since mid-March, but he only lasted a quarter of an hour before needing to be replaced by Edoardo Bove after picking up an injury.

Georginio Wijnaldum - Out against Milan Wijnaldum (hamstring) is not in Roma's match day squad for Saturday's clash against AC Milan.

Paulo Dybala - Probable for Milan match Dybala (ankle) is expected to be available and begin on the bench in Saturday's game versus Milan, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Dybala has been able to practice somewhat regularly in the past two days, and he'll at least be a bench option, even though his ankle is still bothering him a little. If that were the case, Stephan El Shaarawy or Ola Solbakken would draw the start. He has scored three times and posted 18 shots (five on target), 13 key passes, and 14 crosses (nine accurate) in his last five appearances.

Georginio Wijnaldum - Could be option versus Milan Wijnaldum (thigh) announced on Instagram that he resumed practicing Friday and he might be on the squad to face Milan Saturday, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.

Impact Wijnaldum could end up missing just one game with a thigh problem, which turned out to be less severe than anticipated. If indeed available, he'd be in the mix to get minutes in the midfield or in the hole. He has scored once and posted seven shots (two on target), four chances created, five crosses 8three accurate), and two tackles (one won) in his last five appearances.

Diego Llorente - Will miss multiple games Llorente suffered a biceps femoris strain in his left thigh, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Llorente will be out for two-to-three weeks, leaving the defense very short-handed since Chis Smalling is dealing with a similar problem. Gianluca Mancini, Roger Ibanez, and Marash Kumbulla are the only center-backs currently healthy. They may switch to a four-man defense more offense in light of the absences.

Paulo Dybala - Escapes without serious issues Dybala (ankle/thigh) posted on Instagram that the results of his exams were positive.

Impact Dybala picked up an ankle bruise in the past game and is dealing with a lingering adductor issue, but neither is too concerning, and he'll try to get healthy in time for Saturday's game versus Milan.

Leonardo Spinazzola - Used as sub versus Atalanta Spinazzola had six crosses (one accurate) and one tackle (zero won) and one duel in Monday's 1-3 loss versus Atalanta.

Impact Spinazzola came off the bench for the second Serie A game in a row as he's being handled with care due to his injury history, but he still put up his usual numbers and co-paced his team in crosses along with Zeki Celik. He has scored and assisted once in the past five matches, adding six chances created and nine deliveries (zero accurate). Roma will host Milan Saturday.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Mancini - Active offensively in Atalanta game Mancini registered three crosses (two accurate), one block, one interception, and two chances created in Monday's 1-3 defeat versus Atalanta.

Impact Mancini had more success in the final third than in the back, although he was replaced due to a tactical switch before his side gave up the second goal. He has recorded five chances created, ten crosses (three accurate), five interceptions, and ten clearances in the last five fixtures, with two clean sheets.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicola Zalewski - Lively against Atalanta Zalewski won six duels and one tackle and had three shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-3 defeat versus Atalanta.

Impact Zalewski was dynamic on the flank but not precise in his attempts and deliveries. He has logged six shots (zero on target), three key passes, 16 crosses (four accurate), and seven tackles (five won) in the past five matches.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Edoardo Bove - Wins six duels against Atalanta Bove sent in one inaccurate cross, drew three fouls, won six duels, and drew three fouls in Monday's 1-3 defeat against Atalanta.

Impact Bove filled in for Nemanja Matic and was solid defensively. He should get more opportunities while Georginio Wijnaldum is out. He has registered three crosses (zero accurate), eight tackles (four won), one clearance, and two interceptions in his last five appearances.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Solbakken - Creates two chances against Atalanta Solbakken won one duel, drew one foul, created three scoring chances, and was dispossessed four times in Monday's 1-3 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Solbakken benefitted from the fact that Paulo Dybala wasn't 100 percent and had a solid performance, pacing his side in key passes. The teammate picked up a new injury, so he's highly likely to get minutes in the upcoming three-game week. He has logged five chances created, one tackle, one interception, and one off-target shot in his last four appearances.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Zeki Celik - Delivers six crosses against Atalnata Celik had six crosses (three accurate) and won one duel in Monday's 1-3 loss against Atalanta.

Impact Celik got the nod since Leonardo Spinazzola was partially rested and was rather lively, as he led his team in deliveries and matched his season-high. He has recorded nine crosses (three accurate), one tackle, and one clearance in the last four games (two starts).

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tammy Abraham - Misfires versus Atalnata Abraham won eight duels, drew one foul, had three shots (zero on goal), and one chance created in Monday's 3-1 defeat to Atalanta.

Impact Abraham moved around a lot and went toe-to-toe with the opposing defenders, but he wasn't clutch when he had the opportunity to finish from decent positions. He has scored and assisted once in the past three games, adding ten shots (four on target) and two chances created. Roma will host Milan Saturday.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Nets versus Atalanta Pellegrini scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and three corners in Monday's 1-3 defeat against Atalanta.

Impact Pellegrini often led the charge for his side and found the target with an accurate low-driven effort from distance. He has hit the net in three straight matches after a long slump. He's now up to eight goals and nine assists across all competitions in the season. He has posted 13 shots (six on target), six chances created, 29 crosses (eight accurate), and 16 corners in the past five fixtures. Roma will host Milan Saturday.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rui Patricio - Poor versus Talanta Patricio recorded one save, one clearance, and one punch and gave up three goals in Monday's 1-3 loss against Atalanta.

Impact Patricio could do little on the first two goals, which came from unguarded opponents in the box, while he had an ill-timed gaffe on the third one, where he failed to corral the ball, letting Teun Koopemeiners bag an easy one a minute after his side had slashed the lead in half. He has conceded five goals, kept two clean sheets, and made ten saves in the last five matches. Roma will host Milan Saturday.
