He has had a limited role since returning from a fairly serious thigh injury, notching three shots and seven passes and drawing five fouls in two cameos.

He has tallied four shots (one on target), seven chances created and nine accurate (four accurate) in the last five matches (four starts). He's the most utilized among the Como fullbacks thanks to his versatility.

Sergi Roberto - Gets the nod in Milan contest Roberto won three of three tackles and recorded one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus AC Milan.

Impact Roberto drew his first start in Serie A play since late September, as he missed extended time because of a thigh injury, and Lucas Da Cunha is firmly ahead of him in the depth chart, but the gaffer mixed things up in a midweek make-up game. He set a new season high in tackles and was moderately active in the final third. He'll likely remain in a backup role going forward. He has registered two key passes, two clearnces and one cross (one accurate) in his last six showings.

Impact Baturina didn't make the stat sheet for the third contest in a row, but put up good numbers across the board on offense. He has created at least two scoring chances in six rounds in a row, piling up 24 key passes and logging two goals, three assists and 27 crosses (13 on target) over that span.

Impact Douvikas dropped to the bench midweek even though Alvaro Morata was suspended, as the coach opted to switch to a three-man defense and use a false-nine. He still paced his team in attempts despite the reduced playing time. He has posted at least one shot in four games in a row, accumulating 13 (six on target), scoring once and adding four key passes and one cross (zero accurate) over that span.

Nico Paz - Scores in Milan clash Paz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner and picked up his fifth yellow card in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus AC Milan.

Impact Paz was less active than usual but hit the net thanks to a blunder by Mike Maignan, who gift-wrapped him the ball on a misplaced pass, and he made no mistake from the edge of the box, ending a three-game scoring slump. On the other hand, he'll miss Saturday's clash with Juventus due to yellow-card accumulation. Jesus Rodriguez, Tasos Douvikas or Maxence Caqueret will take his place depending on the formation.

Impact Kuhn returned ot the XI after a couple of months, getting the nod over Jesus Rodriguez and Jayden Addai, while Mergim Vojvoda moved to the defense, but, while he matches his season high in tackles, he didn't seize the opportunity. He's unlikely to become a fixture but could get more minutes than usual given two upcoming short turnarounds in a row and with Como advancing to the Coppa Italia semi-finals, possibly leading to some rotation. He has scored once and tallied two shots (one on target), two chances created and three crosses (two accurate) in the last five rounds.

Lucas Da Cunha - Serviceable performance versus Fiorentina Da Cunha won two of three tackles and had two crosses (zero accurate), one key pass and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Fiorentina.

Impact Da Cunha did a little bit of everything on both ends but wasn't as productive as in some of the previous fixtures. He extended his streak of games with at least one cross to 13, totaling 32 deliveries (12 accurate) over that span. Additionally, he has recorded at least one key pass, amassing eight, and one tackle, accumulating seven (four won) in the last four tilts. Instead, he failed to take a shot for the first time since late November.

He has hit the net just once, bagging a brace, in the last eight fixtures. He has logged multiple shots in six matches in a row, piling up 35 (15 on target) and adding six key passes and nine crosses (one accurate) over that span.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Douvikas had strong volume, tallying a new season high in attempts, but couldn't replicate his previous showing and missed a pair of sitters in the first half. Alvaro Morata recently returned from injury, and the two will compete to lead the line going forward.

Anastasios Douvikas - Available against Atalanta Douvikas (ankle) "trained Saturday and is all good for the Atalanta fixture," coach Cesc Fabregas relayed.

Impact Douvikas turned his ankle in a recent Coppa Italia game, but the issue wasn't severe, and he won't need to spend time on the shelf. He has good chances of staying in the XI over Alvaro Morata and Maxence Caqueret. He has bagged two braces in the last five rounds, adding nine shots (six on target), five chances created and one cross (zero accurate).

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Assane Diao - Ways aways from coming back Diao (thigh) "will likely be ready in March, as he'll start training with the group in three weeks since his recovery has taken longer than we anticipated," coach Cesc Fabregas ann...

Impact Diao suffered a thigh injury right before the start of AFCON back in mid-December and isn't yet close to being healthy. He'll also need time to work on his conditioning after being cleared. Martin Baturina, Jesus Rodriguez, Jayden Addai and Nicolas Kuhn will continue to be the top options on the wings for the foreseeable future.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Alvaro Morata - Returns in Coppa Italia match Morata (thigh) came off the bench and scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Fiorentina in the domestic cup.

Impact Morata made his first appearance since seriously hurting his thigh in early December. He'd be the next man up if Tasos Douvikas (ankle) wasn't available against Milan on Tuesday, but it remains to be seen whether he's fit enough to start yet. He has failed to score, assisted once and posted 15 shots (five on target), seven key passes and six crosses (one accurate) in 13 games (eight starts).

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Anastasios Douvikas - Subs off early in cup game Douvikas left Tuesday's Coppa Italia match versus Fiorentina in the first half due to an ankle injury, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Douvikas got dinged up in a rough tackle but was able to walk off the pitch on his own, although with a slight limp. He'll need to be assessed before next Sunday's clash with Milan. Alvaro Morata (thigh) returned on the bench in this one, but he might need more time to start. Como recently fielded a formation with Martin Baturina serving as a false-nine.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Jayden Addai - Unused sub against Torino Addai (thigh) didn't feature in Saturday's 6-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Addai returned after sitting out nearly two months, but the coach acted cautiously despite the large win. He'll likely have a more inconsistent role going forward compared to when he was last healthy, as Martin Baturina and Jesus Rodriguez have both gotten going on the wings.
