Rui Patricio - Concedes once versus Inter Patricio had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Inter Milan.
Impact Patricio couldn't catch a surgical strike by Federico Dimarco and was barely called into action besides the opposing goal. He has conceded three times, kept one clean sheet, and made three saves in the last four matches. Roma will host Lecce next Sunday.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tammy Abraham - Comes off bench in Inter clash Abraham took two shots (one on target), won one tackle and three duels, and drew one foul in 32 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 win over Inter.
Impact Abraham paid the price for a slightly more defensive formation, and the coach picked Nicolo Zaniolo and Paulo Dybala over him. That could be chalked up to the difficulty of the match-up, and the trio had featured together, at the expense of a midfielder, in the early matches. On the other hand, Abraham will have to be more consistent to cement his starting job. He has scored once and added nine shots (five on target) and two chances created in the last four games. Roma will host Lecce next Sunday.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Smalling - Scores against Inter Smalling won tackles and three duels and scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Inter Milan.
Impact Smalling didn't pile up numbers defensively but decided the game with a well-taken header on a free kick. It's his second goal of the season. He has posted six tackles (five won), nine interceptions, and 20 clearances in the last five matches.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Gianluca Mancini - Logs four interceptions versus Inter Mancini had one block, two clearances, and four interceptions and won four duels in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Inter Milan.
Impact Mancini contributed to holding in check a high-wattage team with a tidy performance in the back. He has started every game so far. He has posted six tackles (four won), eight interceptions, and ten clearances in the last five appearances, with one clean sheet.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Zeki Celik - Creates three chances versus Inter Celik won three duels and had one cross (one accurate), two interceptions, and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Inter Milan.
Impact Celik didn't look great on the opposing goal, as Federico Dimarco slipped behind him, but he had a solid performance on the other hand, where he led his team in chances, and put together a well-rounded stat-line. He should get consistent minutes with Rick Karsdorp (knee) on the mend. He has logged seven chances created, ten crosses (four accurate), and seven tackles (four won) in the last five starts.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Leonardo Spinazzola - Provides assist against Inter Spinazzola won three duels and assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Inter Milan.
Impact Spinazzola has his best showing of the season as he attacked at will, paced his team in crosses, and found Paulo Dybala with a little ball over the top to set up the equalizer. He has notched four chances created, 15 crosses (four accurate), and three tackles (two won) in the last four starts.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolo Zaniolo - Quiet versus Inter Zaniolo drew two fouls, won two duels, and had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Inter Milan.
Impact Zaniolo played almost the entire game, which hadn't happened in a while, but he didn't get much going. He has provided an assist and added 19 shots (four on target), six chances created, and two inaccurate crosses in five games. Roma will host Lecce next Sunday.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marash Kumbulla - Doesn't play versus Inter Kumbulla (thigh) was an unused sub in Saturday's 2-1 win over Inter.
Impact Kumbulla returned to the squad following a thigh strain, but the coach understandably stuck with his starters for this one. He'll get a chance when they rotate, but he might feature more in Europa League than domestically. He has posted two clearances in two appearances so far.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stephan El Shaarawy - Unused versus Inter El Shaarawy (thigh) didn't feature in Saturday's 2-1 win over Inter.
Impact El Shaarawy was available for the first time in a month but didn't come off the bench. He's a key backup up front and will get some opportunities here and there. He has logged five shots (three on target), five chances created, and one inaccurate crosses in four appearances off the bench.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Assists and bows out in Inter clash Pellegrini took one off-target shot, created one scoring chance, won one of two tackles, and picked up an assist in 81 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 win over Inter before subbing off w...
Impact Pellegrini didn't have a particularly dynamic performance but collected a point by finding Chris Smalling with a long-range free kick to set up the game-winner. He might have aggravated the issue that was affecting him coming into the contest, although he played almost the entirety of it. He was replaced late by Mady Camara, although Tammy Abraham, who had already come in for Paulo Dybala (calf) would be a more likely starter in case he had to miss time.

Paulo Dybala - Scores and subs off versus Inter Dybala took two shots (one on target), drew one foul, and scored a goal in 58 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 win over Inter before leaving with a calf problem, Goal reports.
Impact Dybala was a question mark coming into the game due to a thigh ailment, but he wasn't bothered by it and found the target with a technical first-time volley that bent Samir Handanovic's hands. However, he subbed off early in the second half due to a different issue. While he didn't look particularly worried, he might be managed in the upcoming Europa League game. He was replaced by Tammy Abraham, who uncharacteristically began on the bench in this one.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Starting behind the striker Pellegrini is fit and in the starting Xi for Saturday's match against Inter Milan.
Impact Pellegrini is ready to start after dealing with a thigh injury before the international break. The midfielder starts in an attacking role alongside Nicolo Zaniola just behind Paulo Dybala on Saturday.
OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paulo Dybala - Starting against Inter Dybala is fit and in the starting XI to face Inter Milan on Saturday.
Impact Dybala is good to go after dealing with a thigh injury in the buildup to the match. The forward will lead the line for Roma with Tammy Abraham not in the starting XI.

Paulo Dybala - Good to go for Inter game Dybala (thigh) practiced regularly Friday and has been called up for Saturday's clash with Inter, Sky Italy reports.
Impact Dybala was spared during international duties after being a late scratch for the last Serie A fixtures, but he will not miss further time. The coach will have to decide whether to field him from the start or go with a more muscular lineup featuring Bryan Cristante and Nemanja Matic together. Instead, Lorenzo Pellegrini would feature as a midfielder with Dybala in the XI. He has tallied three goals, two assists, 20 shots (eight on target), and 19 chances in six appearances.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Good to go for Inter clash Pellegrini (thigh) re-joined his teammates in practice Wednesday, Sky Italy reports.
Impact Pellegrini stayed home and was managed during the break, but he has shaken off a minor problem that caused him to miss the Italy games. He'll be in the XI against Inter, either as a no.10 or as a central midfielder. He has logged two assists, 20 shots (six on target), 21 chances created and 31 crosses (15 accurate) in seven matches.

Paulo Dybala - Unavailable for national team games Dybala (thigh) watched the two friendlies against Giamaica and Honduras from the stands, but he should be good to go for Saturday's game versus Inter, Corriere dello Sport reports.
Impact Dybala stayed with the national team despite a minor thigh problem, although he didn't feature and mostly practiced on the side. He will be re-assessed after heading back to Italy, but there's optimism he will be at least a bench option for the next Serie A tilt.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stephan El Shaarawy - Returns to full training El Shaarawy (thigh) practiced with no limitations Monday, Ansa reports.
Impact El Shaarawy is on track to be available for the Inter game after skipping the last five matches with a thigh strain. He's generally a bench option and has posted five shots (three on target), five chances created, and one inaccurate cross in four games (zero starts). His return will likely affect Eldor Shomurodov's minutes.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marash Kumbulla - Set to be available versus Inter Kumbulla (thigh) went back into full training Monday, Ansa reports.
Impact Kumbulla missed the last five matches, between Serie A and Europa League, due to a thigh strain. He will resume being the top defensive backup and will get some sport starts here and there, considering the busy schedule in October. He had appeared just twice before getting hurt, logging two clearances in 40 minutes.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paulo Dybala - Staying with Argentina Dybala reached the Argentina camp in Miami for a pair of friendlies as his early test results were encouraging, Ansa reports.
Impact Dybala was a late scratch for the Atalanta game, but he might have avoided substantial injuries. He will undergo further exams while away from the team to assess his status and determine whether he's healthy enough to play with his national team in the next couple of weeks.
