Impact Ellertsson had a modest output before exciting the match down the stretch after getting hit in the back. He'll be assessed before Sunday's away game against Verona, but the coach sounded optimistic that the problem wasn't serious in his post-game remarks. Brooke Norton-Cuffy returned from injury but didn't play in this one and would be the next man up at the position if needed.

Sebastian Otoa - On bench Otoa (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Roma.

Impact Otoa was looking to be an option for Sunday and is fit, with the defender no longer nursing his ankle. This leaves the club gaining some depth in the back, although it is unknown how much time he will get, going unused in five of his past six appearances on the team sheet.

Impact Norton-Cuffy will be back after skipping the previous fixture due to a thigh issue, but his minutes might be watched closely to avoid more serious injuries. He'll be in the mix with Aaron Martin, Mikael Egill Ellertsson and Stefano Sabelli on both flanks. He's a staple when he's 100 percent and has notched at least four crosses in his last five appearances, piling up 25 crosses (seven accurate), scoring once and adding five shots (two on target) and eight chances created and six tackles (three won) over that span.

Johan Vasquez - Sound performance versus Inter Vasquez recorded three tackles (two won), one clearance and four interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Inter Milan.

Impact Vasquez had his hands full in the back because of the caliber of the opponents and responded well for the most part, even though his side allowed two goals. He maintained his season-long streak of tilts with at least one clearance and is averaging 4.5 per match. He has contributed to two clean sheets in the last five rounds, posting nine tackles (six won), nine interceptions and five blocks in that span.

Tommaso Baldanzi - Logs two key passes in Inter contest Baldanzi recorded one cross (zero accurate), two tackles (one won) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Baldanzi played for about 60 minutes for the second match in a row and had a decent output in the final third, considering his team didn't generate much offense in a difficult match-up. He has tallied at least one key pass and one cross in his three appearances with Genoa, totaling four chances created, five deliveries (one accurate) and five tackles (two won).

Aaron Martin - Sends in five crosses in Inter bout Martin had five crosses (two accurate), two clearances and one corner and created one scoring chance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Inter Milan.

Impact Martin returned to the XI after two games as Brooke Norton-Cuffy (thigh) was missing and led his team in deliveries, but he wasn't too accurate: He'll likely have to fight for minutes going forward, as the coach seems to have soured on him a little. He has recorded multiple crosses in every seasonal appearance, averaging 6.82 (2.55 accurate). He has logged five key passes, nine corners and five clearances in his last five outings.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ruslan Malinovskyi - Relatively quiet against Inter Malinovskyi recorded two crosses (zero accurate), one interception and one corner and created one scoring chance in 45 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Inter Milan.

Impact Malinovskyi did a little bit of everything but was pulled at the interval after being booked early. His replacement, Amorim, didn't play well off the bench. Malinovskyi has tallied at least one cross in seven tilts in a row, accumulating 16 deliveries (one accurate), scoring three goals and posting 11 shots (five on target) and six key passes over that span. Instead, he didn't record a tackle after notching multiple ones in all the previous four rounds.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Ostigard - Under pressure in Inter game Ostigard had three interceptions, six clearances and one block and won two of two tackles in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Inter Milan.

He has notched four or more clearances in his last nine displays, amassing 69, adding 13 tackles (10 won) and six interceptions and helping secure four clean sheets in that stretch. In addition, he has posted at least one block in three games in a row, totaling four.
