Sebastian Otoa - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unused in loss to Roma Otoa was an unused substitute in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Otoa was back in the squad after the apparent cramp issue that forced him off against Fiorentina, but he never left the bench as Alessandro Marcandalli returned to the back three alongside Leo Ostigard and Johan Vasquez. He had started the previous two matches, first in place of the suspended Vasquez and then ahead of Marcandalli, but this selection suggests he may now drop back into a depth role.
