Ruan - Busy in Napoli clash Ruan had one tackle (one won), one block, six clearances, and three interceptions in Friday's 0-2 defeat versus Napoli.

Impact Ruan was under pressure for the entirety of the contest and, while he wasn't particularly impressive, that allowed him to fill the stat sheet. He supplanted Gianmarco Ferarri in the back in 2023. He has logged eight tackles (all won), 22 clearances, and eight interceptions in the last five matches, with one clean sheet.

Nadir Zortea - Decent versus Napoli Zortea won six duels and one of five tackles and had three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 0-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Zortea often struggled to contain his direct opponent, but he put up numbers in almost every category. He has taken over the position immediately after joining since Jeremy Toljan and Mert Muldur were tending to injuries. He has posted three shots (one on target), four chances created, ten crosses (two accurate), and eight tackles (three won) in the last three games.

Rogerio - Swings in five crosses against Napoli Rogerio won three duels and generated two shots (one on goal), five crosses (three accurate), and one chance created in Friday's 0-2 loss against Napoli.

Impact Rogerio had some issues in the back but turned in another solid offensive shift, as has often been the case. He has notched 13 crosses (five accurate), seven tackles (four won), 13 clearances, and two chances created in the last five appearances.

Maxime Lopez - Wins two duels against Napoli Lopez had one shot (zero on goal) and one interception and won one of two tackles and two duels in Friday's 0-2 defeat against Napoli.

Impact Lopez resumed starting after the coach had seemingly soured on him for a while, selecting Pedro Obiang in most of the January fixtures. It remains to be seen whether he'll be the starter as in the first half of the season, as he didn't have a particularly remarkable game. He has notched 12 crosses (two accurate), 27 tackles, 12 interceptions, and 17 chances created in 16 games (13 starts).

Armand Lauriente - Will miss next game Lauriente registered one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate), and one corner and picked up his fifth yellow card in Friday's 0-2 defeat against Napoli.

Impact Lauriente was the most active man for his side on offense, paced it key passes, hit the post on a great solo action, and had a goal taken away for an offside by a teammate. On the other hand, he'll have to sit one out due to yellow-card accumulation. If fit, Domenico Berardi (thigh) will return to the XI against Lecce, with Nedim Bajrami possibly moving to the left wing;, otherwise, the coach could turn to Emil Ceide or Andrea Pinamonti, with Gregoire Defrel playing wide in the second case.

Mert Muldur - Doesn't feature against Sassuolo Muldur (ankle) was an unused sub in Friday's 0-2 loss to Sassuolo.

Impact Muldur was back on the bench, but he didn't get any minute, and the gaffer didn't disclose whether he was indeed good to go. He'll challenge Nadir Zortea and Jeremy Toljan (thigh) once he's ready. He notched one assist, 13 chances created, 40 crosses (five accurate), and 52 tackles in 31 games (24 starts) last season.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Domenico Berardi - Unused against Napoli Berardi (thigh) didn't feature in Friday's 0-2 loss to Napoli.

Impact Berardi was available but didn't play because he wasn't 100 percent, coach Alessio Dionisi relayed. If in better shape, he'll return to the XI in next Saturday's away game versus Lecce. He has scored once, provided three assists, all in the same game, and logged 17 shots (four on target), and nine chances created in his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Consigli - Beaten twice by Napoli Consigli recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 0-2 defeat versus Napoli.

Impact Consigli could do little on a great shot by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, while Victor Osimhen surprised him on the first post from an angled position. He has kept one clean sheet in the last four matches, surrendering six goals and making 12 saves. Sassuolo will face Lecce away next Saturday.

Domenico Berardi - Substitute option Friday Berardi (thigh) was named to the match-day squad versus Napoli on Friday.

Impact Berardi has started seven straight matches before suffering his thigh problem and will have to watch from the sidelines at kickoff. In those prior starts, the forward registered three goals on 31 shots (six on target), three assists, 19 crosses (six accurate) and 11 corners. Given his impact in the final third, Berardi should be a top-end fantasy target once restored to the starting XI.

Mert Muldur - Bench option versus Napoli Muldur (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Napoli.

Impact Muldur has been out since the second game of the season due to an ankle fracture. He returned to the bench in mid-January even though he wasn't ready to play, and he missed four more matches afterward. The coach didn't touch on him in the pre-match presser.

Karsdorp in for Roma return after making peace with Mourinho

Rick Karsdorp is set to return for Roma three months after a fallout with coach José Mourinho that looked to have ended the defender's career with the club

Domenico Berardi - Questionable for Napoli clash Berardi wasn't ruled out for Friday's match versus Napoli by coach Alessio Dionisi: "We don't know whether he'll miss yet. We'll evaluate in the two final practices."

Impact Berardi is dealing with some discomfort because of previous problems rather than a new one and is set to be a late call. The gaffer hinted that Nedim Bajrami would replace him if he couldn't make the XI.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Domenico Berardi - Day-to-day with small injury Berardi has an inflamed scar in his left adductor but didn't suffer a new muscular lesion, Sassuolo announced.

Impact Berardi remains likely to miss some time, especially Friday's clash with Napoli, but avoided another strain that would have knocked him out for multiple weeks.

Pedro Obiang - Plays one half in Udinese match Obiang had 19 passes and committed one foul in 45 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Udinese.

Impact Obiang drew another start, but he barely picked up any stat during his time on the pitch. He has drawn the nod in six straight matches, but the coach might go back to Maxime Lopez at some point. He has notched three off-target shots, 11 tackles (eight won), four interceptions, and five clearances in the last five games.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Pinamonti - Quiet in return against Udinese Pinamonti (thigh) had three clearances and two passes in 23 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Udinese.

Impact Pinamonti came off the bench after missing the last four matches, and he didn't make an impact. He'll compete with Gregoire Defrel in the upcoming fixtures. He has logged three goals, 40 shots (12 on target), 11 chances created, and seven crosses (two accurate) in 18 appearances (16 starts).

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rogerio - Eligible for Napoli game Rogerio served a one-game ban in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Udinese.

Impact Rogerio will likely return to the XI at left-back over Riccardo Marchizza next week. He has logged nine crosses (three accurate), seven tackles (five won), five interceptions, and 14 clearances in the last five games.

Birthday boy Kvaratskhelia helps send Napoli 16 points clear

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored in the 22nd minute on his 22nd birthday to help send Napoli 16 points clear in Serie A

Andrea Consigli - Concedes twice in draw Consigli made five saves and conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Udinese.

Impact Consigli conceded twice Sunday, but made his most saves this season with five stopped shots. The seven shots on target he faced Sunday is his most this season, as Udinese were able to break through the Sassuolo defense early and often, with the first goal coming from Destiny Udogie in the first minute of the match. It won't get any easier for Consigli as his next match is versus league-leading Napoli Friday, who have scored 51 goals in 21 matches this season.
