Mile Svilar - Three saves in loss Svilar had three saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-0 loss to Udinese.

Impact Svilar conceded the lone goal in the 49th minute when Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's free kick took a deflection off Donyell Malen in the wall and looped over him. He was tested in the first half as Udinese generated danger through the middle and forced him into a couple of routine saves and claims. Roma applied pressure late, but the damage had already been done from the set piece. Svilar has now allowed one goal in each of his last two appearances after posting four straight clean sheets across all competitions prior to that stretch. The goalkeeper will aim to get back on track in Monday's clash against Cagliari.

Mario Hermoso - Solid performance against Udinese Hermoso (hip) had three interceptions and three clearances and committed four fouls in 70 minutes in Monday's 1-0 loss to Udinese.

Impact Hermoso got the call after missing the past three matches and turned in a decent shift, but his side allowed an unlucky goal on a deflected free kick. He has been a consistent starter over youngster options when healthy and has recorded eight tackles (seven won), 11 interceptions and eight clearances in his last five appearances, contributing to one clean sheet.

Mario Hermoso - Finds starting XI Hermoso (thigh) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Udinese.

Impact Hermoso was deemed fit ahead of Monday's match and is with the team again, not just fit but starting immediately. With 15 starts in 17 appearances this season, he should remain a starter when fit, ending his three-match absence.

Bryan Zaragoza - Heads to Roma Zaragoza has left Celta Vigo and moved to Roma on loan with an option to buy from Bayern Munich.

Impact Zaragoza transfers to Italy after a solid first half of the season, during which he scored twice, assisted five times and recorded 38 shots (14 on target), 26 chances created and 85 crosses (17 accurate) in 26 appearances (16 starts). He'll compete with Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala (knee), and Matias Soule in a pair of spots at Roma.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Hermoso - Fit for Udinese meeting Hermoso (hip) has been named in Roma's squad list to face Udinese on Monday.

Impact Hermoso has recovered quickly from a hip strain and could recapture the starting job over Daniele Ghilardi right away, although his replacement has been solid so far. Hermoso has registered nine tackles (eight won), nine interceptions and nine clearances in his last five displays, contributing to two clean sheets.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Ferguson - Unavailable against Udinese Ferguson (ankle) won't return in Monday's match versus Udinese.

Impact Ferguson will miss another one due to a lingering ankle problem. With Paulo Dybala (knee) also sidelined, Donyell Malen, Robinio Vaz and Matias Soule will be heavily relied upon offensively.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Paulo Dybala - Avoids severe issues Dybala has been diagnosed with a slight lateral capsule inflammation in his knee, Il Tempo reported.

Impact Dybala escaped without damage to his ligaments or menisci and will be on the mend for about two weeks, likely skipping the games versus Udinese and Cagliari. Lorenzo Pellegrini, Matias Soule and Robinio Vaz will soak up his minutes.

Devyne Rensch - Comes off the bench midweek Resch (knee) had one off-target shot, one inaccurate cross and three passes in 26 minutes in Thursday's 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos.

Impact Rensch was expected to start amid some rotation, but instead, he was deployed as a sub after skipping one contest because of a knock. He'll tussle for minutes with Zeki Celik, Angelino, Kostas Tsimikas and Daniele Ghilardi since he can handle multiple roles, but Mario Hermoso (hip) isn't far off from returning. He has delivered at least one cross in three straight tilts, amassing six (zero accurate) and adding one assist and three key passes. Instead, this marked his first match without a tackle in 10 appearances.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Angelino - Subs in late versus Panathinaikos Angelino (conditioning) logged two minutes in Thursday's 1-1 draw with Panathinaikos.

Impact Angelino returned to action after a couple of months and sat out three fixtures because of a muscular setback and subpar form. If he stays healthy, he'll compete with Kostas Tsimikas for backup minutes behind Zeki Celik and Wesley, who can feature on both wings. He had started five times before missing months due to respiratory problems, registering 14 crosses (two accurate), eight tackles (six won) and six clearances.

Paulo Dybala - Dealing with knee injury Dybala "is set for tests to assess a knee problem. It doesn't look too bad, but we're not optimistic for the upcoming Udinese match," coach Gian Piero Gasperini stated.

Impact Dybala was technically available against Panathinaikos but wasn't fielded to avoid aggravating what's tentatively believed to be a bruise, but only the exams will clarify the situation. The staff could be cautious regardless, considering that Roma recently acquired two new attackers, Donyell Malen and Robinio Vaz, giving them more options at the position.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Angelino - Selected midweek Angelino (conditioning) has been named in Roma's squad list to face Panathinaikos on Thursday.

Impact Angelino will return from a three-game absence during which he worked on his form and tended to a minor muscular problem and will try to re-enter the rotation on the wings after a few challenging months because of an illness.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Ferguson - Will miss Panathinaikos clash Ferguson hasn't been called up for Thursday's match versus Panathinaikos due to a lingering ankle injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Ferguson missed the recent Torino tilt because of the same problem and got hit on the joint against Stuttgart. Paulo Dybala is the frontrunner to lead the frontline since Donyell Malen and Robinio Vaz are ineligible and Artem Dovbyk (thigh) and Stephan El Shaarawy (Achilles) are missing as well.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Devyne Rensch - Fit for UEL game Rensch (knee) has been selected for Thursday's game versus Panathinaikos.

Impact Rensch will make a quick return after dealing with a knock and will be an option either in the back or on the wing, should the coach decide to rotate a little. He has registered at least one tackle in nine straight displays, amassing 14 (10 won) and adding six interceptions, 17 clearances and nine crosses (two accurate) over that span, with one assist and three clean sheets.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Neil El Aynaoui - Not deployed againt Milan El Aynaoui (AFCON) didn't play in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Milan.

Impact El Aynaoui made the game-day squad list for the first time since mid-November after international duties, but he wasn't fielded, as the manager selected Niccolo Pisilli over him after Manu Kone (thigh) got hurt. The two will share minutes in the short term, as the starter is set to miss multiple matches.

Zeki Celik - Seven crosses in Sunday's draw Celik generated two shots (one on goal) and seven crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus AC Milan.

Impact Celik recorded a season-high seven crosses in Sunday's draw, although that only resulted in one accurate cross and zero chances created. He also recorded one shot on target, his first since Nov. 9. Although he was unable to provide a goal contribution, it was still a solid performance from him as he once again proved to be an important part of the Roma attack.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Donyell Malen - Seven shots in Sunday's draw Malen generated seven shots (three on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Malen made his second straight start since joining Roma in the transfer window and once again made a massive impact on the attack. He recorded a season-high seven shots and put three of them on target, providing a constant threat to Milan's defense. With a goal and 11 shots (five on target) through two appearances with his new club, it appears that Malen is fitting right in with Roma.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Bags equalizer Sunday Pellegrini scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Pellegrini scored the equalizing goal Sunday, a penalty in the 74th minute that he got past Mike Maignan. It marked his third goal of the season and his first since Nov. 9, and it came just five minutes after he subbed onto the pitch. He also created one chance and recorded two crosses in his 21 minutes off the bench.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Mile Svilar - Concedes once in Sunday's draw Svilar registered one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Impact After keeping clean sheets in three consecutive matches (four including the Europa League), Svilar finally conceded a goal to Koni De Winter in the 62nd minute of Sunday's draw. His defense played well once again, only allowing two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes. He faces a more favorable matchup next Monday at Udinese, a side which has scored 22 goals through 21 matches this season.

Manu Kone - Will sit out multiple games Kone has been diagnosed with a grade two right thigh strain and will be sidelined for at least a month, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Kone won't be available in February, skipping a few tilts in Serie A and the UEFA Europa League. Neil El Aynaoui and Niccolo Pisilli will step in unless Roma decide to sign another midfielder down the stretch in the January window.
