Leon Bailey - Will miss Torino fixture Bailey is out for Sunday's match versus Torino due to an illness, Roma relayed.

Impact Bailey returned from a thigh injury midweek but came down with an illness late in the week and won't be involved in this one, joining Artem Dovbyk (thigh), Stephan El Shaarawy (Achilles) and Evan Ferguson (back) on the shelf, while Lorenzo Pellegrini (thigh) is returning.

Angelino - Unavailable versus Torino Angelino didn't make Roma's squad for Sunday's away game versus Torino due to a lack of conditioning, Corriere dello Sport relayed.

Impact Angelino missed extended time because of respiratory issues earlier in the season and has played just five minutes since and has been an unused sub in the past six matches, as the gaffer doesn't consider him ready to play. He might skip multiple fixtures while he works on his fitness level.

Stephan El Shaarawy - Out versus Torino El Shaarawy hasn't been called up for Sunday's match against Torino due to Achilles soreness, Roma relayed.

Impact El Shaarawy is nursing a minor injury and will try to shake it off in time for Thursday's UEFA Europa League tilt against Stuttgart. Roma will likely turn to their recent newcomers to fill in, Donyall Malen and Robinio Vaz, as Even Ferguson (back) and Artem Dovbyk (thigh) are also absent up front, while Lorenzo Pellegrini is just returning from a serious thigh injury.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Ferguson - Absent against Torino Ferguson (back) hasn't been selected for Sunday's clash versus Torino.

Impact Ferguson is dealing with a knock and a small nerve problem and has been ruled out even though the coach voiced some optimism about his availability in the pre-game presser. He shouldn't be sidelined for long. Newcomers Donyall Malen and Robinio Vaz should get some action right away, as Stephan El Shaarawy (Achilles) and Artem Dovbyk (thigh) are also missing.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Fit for Torino game Pellegrini (thigh) "will return Sunday," coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.

Impact Pellegrini will be available after missing a month because of a thigh strain and will resume rotating with Paulo Dybala, Matias Soule and Stephan El Shaarawy in the two spots behind the striker, while Tommaso Baldanzi (thigh) is currently on the mend. Pellegrini has logged nine shots (two on target), three chances created and eight crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances (four starts).

Artem Dovbyk - Will undergo surgery Dovbyk will have surgery to address a tendon injury in Finland on Monday and will miss at least two months, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Dovbyk wasn't improving while resting and rehabbing for about 10 days, and further tests revealed some tendon damage, prompting the operation to ensure a full recovery and a quicker timetable. Roma recently added Donyell Malen and Robinio Vaz to Evan Ferguson (hip) and Paulo Dybala at the position.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Donyell Malen - Moves to Roma Malen has joined Roma on a season-long loan with an option to buy from Aston Villa.

Impact Malen has been a regular and has appeared 27 times across all competitions, but he started just three times in the last nine games, going scoreless and providing one assist. He'll rival primarily Artem Dovbyk (thigh), Evan Ferguson (hip) and Paulo Dybala at Roma and should get minutes right away since two of them are hurt. He has scored seven times and fired 38 shots (17 on target) so far.

JANUARY 14 • USATODAY.COM

Robinio Vaz - Heads to Roma Vaz has signed a contract until 2030 upon transferring to Roma from Olympique Marseille.

Impact Vaz switches sides during his first season in the pros and amid a breakout, as he has notched four assists and two goals in 18 matches across all competitions, mostly operating from the bench since he has started just three times. He has recorded nine shots (seven on target), seven key passes and four crosses (zero accurate) so far. He'll begin with a similar role at Roma and will look to climb the depth chart and should have some opportunities right away since Artem Dovbyk (thigh) and Evan Ferguson (hip) are currently on the shelf.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Evan N Dicka - Back in Italy N'Dicka (AFCON) came off the bench in Tuesday's cup fixture versus Torino.

Impact N'Dicka played a half shortly after returning to Rome following Cote d'Ivoire's elimination. He'll resume being a linchpin of the defense at the expense of Jan Ziolkowski and Daniele Ghilardi, who did okay in relief. N'Dicka has recorded at least one clearance in every appearance, totaling 75 in 21 matches and contributing to eight clean sheets in the season.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Leon Bailey - Returns in cup match Bailey (thigh) got the start and played 80 minutes in Tuesday's Coppa Italia game versus Torino.

Impact Bailey worked his way back after sitting out four Serie A matches and relieved Paulo Dybala as a false-nine amid some rotation. He'll be in the mix at the position if Evan Ferguson (hip) misses some time. He has assisted once and added three shots (two on target), two key passes and three crosses (zero accurate) in his last five displays, all from the bench.

Devyne Rensch - Deployed late against Sassuolo Rensch (illness) had five passes and one tackle (one won) in three minutes in Sunday's 2-0 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Rensch played very little in his return from a brief absence. He has seen significant minutes only when Roma were depleted either in the back and on the flanks, and Evan N'Dicka just returned from AFCON. He'll operate in a backup role going forward.

Zeki Celik - Struggles in service Celik generated five crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Sassuolo.

Impact Celik did make some service efforts but only one of his five crosses was considered accurate, which wasn't going to cut it. If he can be more accurate, he could have more success against Torino on Sunday. The team has allowed 32 goals in domestic play this season.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Kostas Tsimikas - Poor showing offensively Tsimikas generated three shots (zero on goal) and five crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Sassuolo.

Impact Tsimikas didn't put any of his shots on target and none of his crosses were deemed accurate, which is a tough look after he got put in the starting lineup. There's a chance he returns to the bench against Torino but the matchup is more favorable. Torino has allowed 32 goals in 20 matches this season.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Niccolo Pisilli - Struggles in front of goal Pisilli registered four shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Sassuolo.

Impact The midfielder couldn't put any of his shots on target in a rough effort, though it didn't hurt Roma as the side got all three points. Pisilli has a good chance to score as long as he's more accurate against Torino, a team that has conceded 32 goals in 20 domestic games.
