Ruled out for Benevento match Cristante will be unavailable for Sunday's game against Benevento due to back pain, coach Paulo Fonseca announced.

Impact Cristante picked up the problem during the midweek Coppa Italia tilt and, while it is not believed to be significant, it will sideline him this week. Since Roger Ibanez, Marash Kumbulla and Chris Smalling are also absent in the back, two among the rarely used Federico Fazio, Juan Jesus and Bruno Peres will get the start in this one.

Subs off early in Europa League tilt Cristante played just seven minutes in Thursday's match versus Braga as he picked up an injury in the early going.

Impact Cristante was filling in again for the injured Chis Smalling (thigh). Also Roger Ibanez bowed out in this match, so the coach risks having to come up with new solutions in the back since also Marash Kumbulla is out with an injury. However, Federico Fazio and Juan Jesus are eligible to play in Serie A, differently from Europa League. Roma will face Benevento away Sunday.

Delivers assist Wednesday Cristante delivered an assist Wednesday against Crotone. He finished with two shots off target, four chances created, two tackles (one won) and two interceptions.

Impact Cristante has struggled to earn first-team minutes of late and has made just two starts in Roma's last five matches after a run of five straight games in the XI between Nov. 11 and Dec. 6. This was just his second assist of the season, however, so Cristante hasn't provided a lot of value and should remain a non-factor across most fantasy formats.

Clears suspension Cristante will be eligible to play Sunday against Atalanta after serving a one-game suspension.

Impact Cristante was disqualifed by the League as he was caught clearly swearing on video. He has played a lot as a defender while Chris Smalling was nursing a knee injury, but he teammate has recovered and he will probably be a rotational piece in the midfield moving forward. Roma will visit Atalanta Sunday.

Suspended for one game Cristante scored an own goal, had six clearances and one interception in Sunday's 5-1 win over Bologna and was suspended by the League for blasphemy.

Impact Cristante was pretty much the only Roma player that did not have a good game in their romp of Bologna and on top of that will be forced to sit one game out as he was caught swearing on video. He has been filling in for Chris Smalling in the back in the last few matches, but the teammate could be ready to start Thursday against Torino.

Provides assist versus Benevento Cristante created two scoring chances, had two interceptions and four clearances and picked up an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over Benevento.

Impact Cristante was used as centre-back in this one, filling in for Chris Smalling, but still set up a teammate as he fed Carles Perez prior to the final goal of the contest. He projects to be a back-up in a pair of roles when everybody is available. Roma will face Milan away Sunday.
