He's set for increased opportunities while one of the defensive linchpins is on international duties. He has featured eight times (three starts) so far, totaling eight tackles and 17 clearances and failing to contribute to a clean sheet.

He'll compete with Jan Ziolkowski and Daniele Ghilardi in such a role after Mario Hermoso is ready to start. He has notched at least one tackle and one clearance in the last four meetings, totaling seven (three won) and 14, respectively, contributing two clean sheets and adding two key passes and six interceptions in that stretch.

Impact Soule created multiple chances as he has done in four consecutive matches, amassing 11, but didn't put up numbers in other stats, failing to take a shot for the first time in ten games, and not launching any cross after unckoring 11 (three accurate) in the previous three fixtures. He was coming off back-to-back assists.

Impact Baldanzi provided a spark off the bench and re-opened the contest with a tricky tap-in late in the game, bagging his maiden goal this campaign. He has occasionally started amid some injuries but has mostly had a limited role behind Lorenzo Pellegrini, Matias Soule and Paulo Dybala. Despite that, he has notched one or more shots in his last five displays (two starts), totaling eight (four on target) and also posting two chances created, three crosses (one accurate) and two corners.
