ImpactDybala took an ultrasound Monday but couldn't have an MRI because the swelling was still significant. He'll have to sit out three-to-four weeks even in the best-case scenario. Nemanja Matic and all the attackers will get more run with Dybala sidelined.

Tammy Abraham - Three shots in one halfAbraham took three shots (one on target) and created one chance during Sunday's 2-1 victory over Lecce.
ImpactAbraham subbed into this one at half time, replacing a largely ineffective Nicolo Zaniolo. His three shot attempts in the second half were tied for a team-high, and he will likely be utilized more frequently while Paulo Dybala is out. Abraham is now up to two goals and one assist in eight league appearances (seven starts).

Wladimiro Falcone - Four saves in defeatFalcone made four saves (two goals conceded) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Roma.
ImpactThis was a rather decent outing for Falcone, considering one of Roma's two goals came from the penalty spot. That said, Roma dominated possession for much of this contest, and Lecce were unable to generate the scoring necessary to capture a result. His next opportunity to seize a victory will come next Monday versus Fiorentina.

ImpactPatricio was beaten in the 39th by Gabriel Strefezza, but he stopped the other two shots that came his way Sunday. In the end, his efforts were enough for Roma to claim the full three points. Next up is an away tilt next Monday at Sampdoria.
