Nicolo Zaniolo - Diagnosed with minor knee problem Zaniolo hyperextended his left knee in the Juventus game and the early tests ruled out significant problems, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Zaniolo appeared to have suffered a muscular problem, but he is instead dealing with a minor knee issue. He is tentatively considered questionable for the Napoli clash, but the problem is not believed to be severe. He will likely be handled with caution given his previous major injuries in the same area. Stephan El Shaarawy and Carles Perez are the likeliest candidates to fill in if he was forced to miss time.

Impact Zaniolo might have suffered a relapse as he bowed out of the last game and was unavailable for international duties with a similar problem. He will be assessed in the next couple of days. He was replaced by Stephan El Shaarawy. Also Carles Perez would get some run if he is forced to miss time.

Tammy Abraham - Questionable for Juventus clash Abraham sustained a significant trauma in the right-heel area, Roma announced.

Nicolo Zaniolo - On track to play versus Juventus Zaniolo (thigh) practiced fully today, Rai Sport reports.

Impact Zaniolo was forced to miss international duties after picking up a minor thigh problem in the previous game, but there was little concern in the Roma camp.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Will miss international duties Zaniolo was supposed to be called up by Italy but he will stay in Rome due to a right thigh ailment, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Impact Zaniolo was in the running to replace the injured Matteo Pessina in the Italy squad, but he would not have been able to play Wednesday versus Spain. In any case, his problem is minor and did not require tests. He will practice on the side for a few days to shake off the fatigue and should have no issues being available for the Juventus game.

Gianluca Mancini - Keeps clean sheet in win Mancini kept a clean sheet and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Mancini has kept two clean sheets in his last three matches but otherwise has made only eight interceptions and six tackles all season. With some lopsided score lines against his record as well, Mancini doesn't offer tremendous value unless these clean sheets keep coming with some consistency. Up next is a visit from an underperforming Juventus after the international window.

Rui Patricio - Keeps clean sheet in win Patricio kept a clean sheet with three saves made during Sunday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Patricio enters the October international window with two clean sheets in his last three matches and six goals scored over his last four. This inconsistency has caused some questions about Patricio's team as a whole, but he's still put in enough good performances to be worth selection in the right matchup. Up next is a visit from Juventus, which have scored 11 times in seven games so far -- a number short of their potential in a talented roster.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Scores, assists in win Mkhitaryan scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) and provided one assist from three chances created during Sunday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Mkhitaryan went four starts between contributing to the scoreline and did so in fine fashion with involvement in both goals. He's now taken 14 shots and created 15 chances in seven appearances this season, which give him good standing among the better players in the league. After the international break is a trip to Juventus, which could still be a tough matchup despite some struggles for the Old Lady this season.

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Scores in return Pellegrini scored one goal from six shots (two on goal) and created three chances during Sunday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Pellegrini slotted back into the lineup after finishing his suspension for a red card and promptly returned to the scoresheet. He's only improved his stock this season with four goals and one assist through six starts, and he'll get another stage for his talents after the international break against Juventus.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Logs four crosses in win Zaniolo created one chance from four crosses (one accurate) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Zaniolo has yet to complete a full 90 this season, though he has collected 11 shots and 19 crosses in his last four starts. Should he show more end-product and cut back on his fouling, then Zaniolo will go from an important player on the pitch to one with regular fantasy value as well. Up next is a trip to Juventus.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tammy Abraham - Takes six shots in win Abraham took six shots (four on goal) during Sunday's 2-0 win over Empoli.

Impact Abraham has only scored in two of his starts this season but his play has still been impressive in its early days at Roma. Following the international break, he'll face another test of his skills against Juventus, and it may be worth waiting for more goals before testing Abraham's odds.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Smalling - Suffers thigh injury Smalling has been diagnosed with a flexor strain in the right thigh following the Empoli game, Il Tempo reports.

Impact Smalling played almost the whole game, and the substitution appeared merely precautionary. Instead, Smalling will be out three-to-four weeks because of the problem and will miss at least the first game after the break, against Juventus. He has played little thus far due to injury, with Roger Ibanez and Gianluca Mancini seeing the lion's share of minutes in the middle of the defense.
