Napoli's poor form continues in Italy, tributes in Spain for player who died

Napoli’s lackluster form has continued in a 1-1 draw at home with Lazio that consolidated the visiting team’s Serie A lead

56 MINS AGO • Associated Press

Matias Soule - Puts up numbers in Sassuolo tilt Soule recorded two shots (one on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and six corners and created four scoring chances in Saturday's 3-0 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Soule had another productive display while leading the dances offensively without Paulo Dybala (thigh) but wasn't directly part of any of the four goals. He has taken at least one shot in eight fixtures in a row, totaling 20 (seven accurate), scoring twice, assisting four times and creating 21 chances over that span. Moreover, this marked his seventh display on the trot with at least one cross, for a total of 30 (13 accurate).

Manu Kone - Nondescript performance versus Sassuolo Kone (thigh) generated two shots (zero on goal), two tackles (zero won) and one chance created and drew one foul in 66 minutes in Saturday's 3-0 win against Sassuolo.

Impact Kone drew the nod right away despite missing several matches because of a thigh injury, relieving Marten De Roon in the midfield, but he rarely racks up stats on either end, despite his big role in Roma's design. He has created one chance in three consecutive outings, adding three shots (zero on target), four tackles and one interception over that span.

Evan Ndicka - Helps contain Sassuolo N'Dicka recorded one block, two clearances and one block and created two scoring chances in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Sassuolo.

Impact N'Dicka was the only Roma defender to play the whole game, contributing to his first clean sheet in five starts and his fourth this season. He has registered six interceptions, 13 clearances and three blocks in the last five contests (four starts).

Bryan Cristante - Lively offensively in Sassuolo game Cristante registered five shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created and won two of five tackles in Saturday's 3-0 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Cristante recorded a new season high in attempts, but his aim left a lot to be desired, and in tackles in this one. He has posted at least one of the latter in his last seven showings, racking up 17 (11 won). Moreover, this was his fourth match in a row with one or more clearances (nine total) and his third straight with at least one key pass and one interception, totaling five of each in that stretch.

Donyell Malen - Dishes out assist versus Sassuolo Malen assisted once to go with six shots (three on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Sassuolo.

Impact Malen once again paced his team in attempts, registering a new season high, but he wasn't clutch as usual on a pair of big chances. Despite that, he was involved in all three goals, opening a lane between defenders before Mario Hermoso fired it home, causing an own goal with a dangerous shot, and teeing up Rodrigo Mora. He has made the stat sheet in his last seven appearances, hitting the net six times and providing three assists. Malen has taken multiple shots in 14 displays in a row, racking up 56 (26 on target) and creating 22 chances over that span.

Mario Hermoso - Hammers one home against Sassuolo Hermoso scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), three tackles (two won) and one interception in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Hermoso was almost busier in the final third than in the back, as Roma pulled the strings and Sassuolo mustered very little offense. He opened the scoring with a thunderous finish on a ball that was lingering in the box, hitting the net for the third time this campaign. He has posted one or more interceptions in his last five outings, amassing six, with no clean sheets, as he often subs off a little earlier. This also marked his third outing on the trot with one or more tackles, for a total of seven (five won). Instead, Hermoso ended a four-match streak with at least one clearance in this one.

Devis Vasquez - Secures clean sheet versus Sassuolo Vasquez registered one save and didn't concede in Saturday's 3-0 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Vasquez had an easy day at the office as Roma had a commanding wire-to-wire victory, bouncing back from the Manchester United clash. He'll be back on the bench after the break as Mile Svilar (foot) and Pierluigi Gollini (back) should recover in the next fortnight. Vasquez has made three saves and allowed three goals in his two starts. Up next, Roma will face Parma away on November 21.

Manu Kone - Starts after injury layoff Kone (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Sassuolo.

Impact Kone has completed his recovery from a thigh injury that kept him out for six matches and is immediately trusted to start. He remains a key figure in Roma's midfield when available and should reclaim a prominent role following his return. Kone has had a brace and has logged four key passes, three tackles (all won) and four interceptions in his last five appearances.

Gianluca Mancini - Ruled out for Sassuolo tilt Mancini will miss Saturday's match against Sassuolo due to a thigh issue, Fabrizio Romano reported.

Impact Mancini won't be an option for this one and will be evaluated by the Italy doctors in the next few days. Daniele Ghilardi and Leonardo Balerdi are the next men up in the back. The former had relieved him in the previous Serie A fixture, providing an assist.

Manu Kone - Called up for Sassuolo bout Kone (thigh) has been named in Roma's squad list to face Sassuolo on Saturday.

Impact Kone is good to go after skipping six contests because of a thigh injury, joining Marten De Roon, Bryan Cristante and Niccolo Pisilli among the options in two spots in the midfield. He's a staple when he's 100 percent. Kone has had a brace and has logged four key passes, three tackles (all won) and four interceptions in his last five appearances.

Pierluigi Gollini - Absent for Sassuolo match Gollini (back) hasn't been selected for Saturday's fixture versus Sassuolo.

Impact Gollini will miss his second game in a row because of a back issue. Devis Vasquez is rumored to continue starting over Giorgio De Marzi despite having an uneven performance against Manchester United. Gollini should recover during the break, but starter Mile Svilar (foot) is close to being cleared.

Pierluigi Gollini - Remains in doubt for Sassuolo match Gollini (back) will be a late call for Saturday's game versus Sassuolo, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Gollini hasn't trained regularly since missing the previous game, but his issue isn't particularly severe, and he could still start if he feels well enough on game day. Otherwise, Devis Vasquez would likely get the nod again.

Devyne Rensch - Sustains thigh strain Rensch will miss about 20 days due to a right adductor longus strain, Quotidiano Sportivo reported.

Impact Rensch will miss the upcoming Sassuolo tilt and will attempt to recuperate during the international break, but he might need more time to be ready. He usually plays second fiddle to Nahuel Molina and Wesley on both flanks. Emanuele Lulli will pick up the slack.

Donyell Malen - Scores from penalty spot Malen scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Tuesday's 3-2 loss versus Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 42nd minute.

Impact Malen converted his spot kick and he was clinical with his shots, putting both on target. However, he didn't add much connecting play and he likely needed more volume to add another goal. The forward should have success in the next match against Sassuolo, a team that has conceded 26 times already in Serie A play this season.

Matias Soule - Gets a goal Soule scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat to Manchester United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...

Impact Soule started the scoring but he couldn't do much else with his efforts as he didn't provide service or create any chances. He should be able to stuff the stat sheet against Sassuolo though, as the side has conceded 26 times in 10 Serie A games.

Devis Vasquez - Gives up three in collapse Vasquez registered two saves and allowed three goals in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat against Manchester United.

Impact Vasquez can't be the only one faulted for Roma's collapse after being up 2-0 but he played a part in it. The goalkeeper will next try to slow down a Sassuolo side that has managed to score 16 goals through 10 Serie A matches but holds a minus-10 goal differential.

Devyne Rensch - Brought off injured Rensch came off with an apparent injury during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Manchester United.

Impact Rensch made it just 20 minutes before being forced off in favor of Emanuele Lulli. It seems that Rensch picked up some sort of issue and couldn't carry on. The defender has played a very limited role this season, so missing any sort of time would be a disappointment, as he was making his fourth start of the campaign Tuesday.

Pierluigi Gollini - Not playing vs. Manchester United Gollini (back) is not in the squad for Tuesday's UCL match against Manchester United.

Impact Gollini was questionable to play Tuesday due to a back injury, and in the end, the goalkeeper didn't even make the squad. Devis Vasquez got the start at Old Trafford, and Giorgio De Marzi will be the backup.

Pierluigi Gollini - Questionable for Manchester United game Gollini is in doubt for Tuesday's match versus Manchester United due to back spasms, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Gollini tweaked his back in training and will try to recover in the next few hours and gut it out. Otherwise, Devis Vasquez or Giorgio De Marzi will get the call between the posts, making their Roma debut.

Nahuel Molina - Sends in four crosses against Udinese Molina created one scoring chance and had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 5-2 win versus Udinese.

Impact Molina wasn't involved in any of the goals but paced his team in crosses. He has uncorked at least in eight straight appearances, accumulating 28 (four accurate), scoring once, assisting twice and adding eight shots (two on target) and 16 tackles (12 won) over that span. Furthermore, this was his seventh straight display with one or more key passes (11 total).
