Saves day with goal from bench Matic scored one goal from one shot and created two chances during 36 minutes of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Torino.

Impact Matic started just twice in the final five league and UEL matches but scored once and logged one assist in that time. With 12 starts in 20 appearances, Matic doesn't offer tremendous value as a defensive-midfielder but puts himself in good spots for Jose Mourinho's team.

Busy defensively at Sassuolo Matic logged four tackles (two won) and two interceptions during Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Sassuolo.

Impact Matic was back in the XI after appearing off the bench last time out. He was busy defensively and did well to help keep the hosts off the board for most of the contest. His four tackles paced all Roma players, and he played the full 90.

Provides assist against Verona Matic (thigh) won two duels and assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in 24 minutes in Monday's 3-1 victory over Verona.

Impact Matic was able to feature despite a recent thigh ailment and was instrumental in the win, as he found Cristan Volpato with a square ball to set up the 1-2 goal. It's his first assist of the season. He has logged four tackles (one won), five interceptions, and two clearances in the last five appearances (one start).

Called up for Verona match Matic (thigh) was pictured landing in Verona along with his teammates on Roma's Twitter account.

Impact Matic sat out the midweek Europa League game due to a sore adductor, but it looks like he will be at least an option Monday. Mady Camara started over him in the last two Serie A matches even though he was healthy. He has posted four tackles (one won), five interceptions, and one clearance in the last five appearances (two starts).

Picks up thigh injury Matic didn't participate in the final practice before facing HJK Helsinki in Europa League due to an adductor problem and won't be involved in the match, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Matic will be re-assessed after the midweek fixture to determine whether he could be available for Monday's away tilt against Verona. Mady Camara has started over him in the midfield in the last two matches.

Plays 67 mins in loss Matic had one shot (zero on target) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Atalanta.

Impact Matic played 67 minutes in place of Paulo Dybala, who was a late scratch from the starting XI. He was replaced midway through the second half for rest purposes by Andrea Belotti. Roma weren't able to generate much offensively in this contest, and Dybala's status will be worth monitoring heading into the break.

Matic has logged four assists, 13 chances, 34 tackles and 35 interceptions in 31 appearances (17 starts) last season.

In match day squad Matic is fit and in the match day squad to face Leeds on Sunday.

Impact Matic returns after dealing with a shin injury in the buildup to the match. The midfielder starts from the bench but is available if called upon Sunday.

Could return Sunday Matic (shin) may be ready to play against Leeds United on Sunday. Manager Ralf Rangnick told reporters, "Nemanja Matic was back in training today for the first time and he did quit...

Impact Even if Matic doesn't play against Leeds, it appears the midfielder will be ready in time for a mid-week matchup with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The midfielder has started nine of his 19 appearances this year in addition to serving as an unused substitute for another eight contests. As such, Matic is far from a lock for a spot in the starting XI whenever he does rejoin the squad.

Ruled out Tuesday Matic (shin) will not be an option against Brighton on Tuesday.

Impact Matic will be shelved for his second straight contest due to his shin problem. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder had made just one appearance in the club's previous three outings, a six-minute substitute outing versus Brentford on Jan. 19. As such, Matic shouldn't be considered a lock to be restored to the starting XI even once given the all-clear.

Picks up shin injury Matic has been ruled out against Southampton on Saturday after suffering a shin injury. Manager Ralf Rangnick told reporters, "He has some problems with his shin. He has been havin...

Impact Matic was an unused substitute in each of United's previous two outings, no doubt in part due to his shin problem. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI but the team's busy schedule in February that includes UCL action should create plenty of opportunities for him to start.

Could return versus Newcastle Matic (illness) might be an option for the match-day squad versus Newcastle United on Monday. Manager Ralf Rangnick told reporters, "From what I saw, I can say most of them, if not...

Impact Matic has made 14 appearances for the Red Devils this season across both European and domestic competition but has started just six times and was an unused substitute in another six matches. As such, the defensive midfielder may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI even with his illness behind him and therefore shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Norwich Matic (illness) is not in Man United's match day squad for Saturday's clash against Norwich City.

Impact Matic is out at the weekend with a cold, and he will target to be healthy again by Tuesday's clash against Brentford.

DECEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with cold Matic is dealing with a cold ahead of Saturday's trip to Norwich, according to manager Ralf Rangnick.

Impact Unless this turns into a flu, Matic shouldn't miss Saturday's match with the issue. He played at center-back midweek and still appears to be the third midfield option behind Fred and Scott McTominay, meaning another start or two in the coming weeks is possible.
