Neil El Aynaoui - Fit for Napoli bout El Aynaoui (knee) has been called up for Sunday's contest with Napoli.

Impact El Aynaoui won't need to miss time after tweaking his knee midweek, and his minutes will hinge on Manu Kone's (knee) status and on the scheme, as he's generally started because of some absences or rotation. He has found his footing as of late and has logged one goal, one assist, three shots (two on target) and 10 tackles (six won) in the last five matches.

Kone has started in every Serie A game so far and has registered one assist, four shots (one on target), three chances created and six tackles (four won) in his last five showings.

Neil El Aynaoui - Banged up in UEL game El Aynaoui tweaked his right knee against Midtjylland, but he didn't damage his ligaments or meniscii, Mediaset relayed.

Impact El Aynaoui escaped with a simple sprain and will be a late call for Sunday's clash with Napoli, same as Manu Kone (ankle). If neither could make it, Niccolo Pisilli or Lorenzo Pellegrini would join Bryan Cristante in the midfield.

Manu Kone - Avoids structural damage Kone (ankle) didn't train Thursday and underwent tests, which confirmed a sprain and ruled out ligament-related issues, ReteSport informed.

Impact Kone is day-to-day, as his injury isn't too severe, and his availability for Sunday's game against Napoli will depend on how much he manages to do in practice beforehand. Neil El Aynaoui (knee) is also banged up, so Roma might have to lean on their deeper reserves at the position.

Paulo Dybala - Decent in Europa League appearance Dybala (thigh) had two shots on target and two chances created and drew one foul in 78 minutes in Thursday's 2-1 victory over Midtjylland.

Impact Dybala got the call and played most of the game despite a recent thigh problem and had a serviceable performance. Roma have leaned heavily on him whenever he was fit. His return will affect Evan Ferguson and Lorenzo Pellegrini's minutes. He has posted multiple key passes in his last six displays, scoring twice, assisting once and adding 13 shots (eight on target) and 36 crosses (14 accurate). He didn't have a delivery for the first time in six matches in this one.

Mario Hermoso - DNP in Midtjylland match Hermoso (thigh) didn't feature in Thursday's game against Midtjylland.

Impact Hermoso was widely expected to start, but the coach erred on the side of caution and gave the nod to Danilo Ghilardi, who hasn't played much as of late. Hermoso will likely return to the starting lineup in the crunch game against Napoli on Sunday.

He'll likely stay in a bench role until he's fully fit, deputizing Lorenzo Pellegrini and Matias Soule. It's his first goal contribution of the season. He has posted three off-target shots, five chances created and 14 crosses (three accurate) in sis showings (one start).
