Bryan Cristante - Sidelined for Como tilt Cristante will likely miss the Como and Real Madrid matches, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Cristante has been rehabbing and training on his own due to a sore knee in recent days and will be re-evaluated next week. Marten De Roon is currently considered the frontrunner to replace him over Niccolo Pisilli and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Donyell Malen - Available for Como clash Malen (knee) participated fully in a joint practice and friendly with amateur side Sorianese, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Malen has been managed in training during the break because of a sore knee, but won't need to miss time. He has fired at least three shots in every fixture so far, totaling 24, scoring six goals and providing one assist.

Bryan Cristante - Suffers new injury Cristante might miss time after the break due to knee soreness, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Cristante didn't answer Italy's call-up because of a minor back problem, but he hasn't been spotted in training lately because of a different issue, and he might need more than a week to recover fully. Niccolo Pisilli and Marten De Roon would pick up the slack if necessary.

Mile Svilar - Makes three saves in draw Svilar had three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Inter Milan.

Impact Svilar produced an elite display against Inter Milan even as Roma surrendered a commanding position. The goalkeeper registered three saves, including a crucial one-on-one stop, and could do little about either goal that beat him. Conceding twice marks the first time he has allowed multiple goals in a match this season, following a superb run of three clean sheets and just two goals conceded across his previous five outings in all competitions. Roma return to action against Como on Oct.11 following the international break.

Gianluca Mancini - Assists in draw Mancini assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Inter Milan.

Impact Mancini added a second assist of the season against Inter with the touch that set up Manu Kone for his goal. There was not a great deal else from him in the numbers, just one tackle, one interception and one clearance, while his 17 accurate passes marked his lowest return in a game this season in a match where Roma saw less of the ball than they have been used to. The defender has been an ever present in the league and has built up nine tackles, eight interceptions and six clearances across five Serie A games with three clean sheets, which keeps him among the best in his position as he has been for years.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Nahuel Molina - Registers first assist for Roma Molina assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Inter Milan.

Impact Molina set up the first goal of the game against Inter for his first goal contribution in a Roma shirt, taking Dybala's pass on the left flank and squaring it for Manu Kone to finish. He was deployed at left wing back once again and made his second start in succession, with three shots, two chances created and four tackles to his name over that pair of matches.

Bryan Cristante - Withdraws from Italy call-up Cristante won't take part in the upcoming Nations League games with Italy due to back spasms, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Cristante has played almost full minutes so far, subbing off a little early only once, but he's been deemed unfit to play with the national team during the break. He's highly likely to be good to go for October 10's fixture versus Como.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Donyell Malen - Skips international duties Malen withdrew from the Netherlands' call-up due to a minor knee problem, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Malen almost came out late in the Inter clash because he was laboring due to a contusion, but he stayed on the pitch after the opponents equalized. He shouldn't have trouble recovering during the break and should be available for October 10's game versus Como.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Manu Kone - Nets first career brace Manu Kone scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Inter Milan.

Impact Kone is rarely a name on the scoresheet, but he took the chances that came his way against Inter and finished the first half with the first brace of his career against the reigning champions at the Olimpico. The brace also saw the midfielder already match his goal tally from each of his last two Serie A seasons, when he scored twice in both campaigns.

Evan Ndicka - Notches four interceptions in Inter clash N'Dicka (illness) had two clearances and four interceptions and was yellow-carded in 30 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Inter.

Impact N'Dicka was initially listed as a starter due to a clerical error and eventually came off the bench, but he didn't help shore up the defense, as Inter completed their comeback. He posted a new season-high in interceptions. He'll likely play over either Leonardo Balerdi or Mario Hermoso in the next few games. He has recorded at least one clearance, accumulating 11, and one interception, piling up nine, in his four showings, contributing to one clean sheet. Instead, he snapped a three-game string with one tackle.

Impact N'Dicka will be back available and could unseat Leonardo Balerdi, even though his teammate fared well in relief. Mario Hermoso also isn't 100 percent due to an ankle problem. He has logged at least one tackle, totaling five (two won), one interception, accumulating five, and one clearance, piling up nine, in his three appearances, with no clean sheets.

Gianluca Mancini - Logs four clearances in Torino bout Mancini had two clearances, four interceptions and one shot (one on target) and won three of four tackles in Monday's 2-0 win versus Torino.

Impact Mancini was the busiest Roma defender in another shut-out win, setting new season highs in tackles and interceptions. He has helped secure three clean sheets so far, assisting once and recording 10 tackles (seven won), four interceptions and five clearances over that span.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Leonardo Balerdi - Fills in admirably against Torino Balerdi recorded six clearances, three interceptions and one block and won one tackle in Monday's 2-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Balerdi got the call for the first time since moving to Roma due to Evan N'Dicka's sudden illness and had an excellent display in the back, playing a big part in shutting down the opponents. He has tallied one tackle in his three showings (one total won), posting also five interceptions.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Hermoso - Routine showing versus Torino Hermoso had one cross (one accurate), four clearances and two interceptions and created one scoring chance in Monday's 2-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Hermoso had a run-of-the-mill performance while contributing to his second clean sheet of the season. He has tallied at least two interceptions, accumulating 19, and one clearance, racking up 11, in every outing, adding 10 tackles (six won) and three crosses (two accurate).

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Pellegrini - DNP versus Torino Pellegrini (thigh) wasn't fielded in Monday's 2-0 victory over Torino.

Impact Pellegrini was deemed fit enough to be called up after recovering from a thigh injury that sidelined him for months, but he wasn't deployed right away, also because the game hung in the balance until late. His role is likely to be smaller than last season, but he'll eventually get some minutes at Matias Soule, Paulo Dybala, and Rodrigo Mora's expense.
