Unused versus Fiorentina Sottil (calf) wasn't fielded during Sunday's 1-0 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Sottil was available after sitting out three matches, but Tete Morente and Lameck Banda got the start, and Santiago Pierotti came off the bench over him. He'll look to round back into shape and re-join the rotation on the wings ahead in the next game. He had been effective as a starter before the injury.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Roma tilt Sottil (hip) has practiced regularly ahead of Sunday's game versus Roma, Mediaset relayed.

Impact Sottil is on track to return after being sidelined for three fixtures due to a muscular problem in his hip.

Michael Folorunsho and Nicolo Zaniolo will absorb his minutes at Fiorentina.
