Roma vs. Cagliari - News - January 16, 2022 | FOX Sports

Lorenzo Pellegrini - Diagnosed with minor injury Pellegrini did not suffer a strain but he has a sore scar in the same area as a previous one, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Impact Pellegrini will most likely sit out the next game against Empoli, the publication adds, but the new problem should not sideline him for an extended period of time. He missed over a month due to a more significant issue in the same are in December. Roma will lean more on newcomer Sergio Oliveira, Jordan Veretout and Henrikh Mkhitaryan with Pellegrini on the mend.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Creates six chances against Cagliari Mkhitaryan took a shot and created six chances in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Cagliari. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Mkhitaryan was a huge threat with his passing on Sunday, even though his teammates couldn't convert on any of the chances he created. He will want to have a similar performance -- with better finishing from his forwards -- next weekend against Empoli, which have conceded 43 goals in 22 matches this season.

Jordan Veretout - Takes shot in win Veretout took a shot on target and won one of one tackles in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Cagliari. He also made two clearances and an interception in the match.

Impact Veretout was a last-minute addition to the starting lineup against Cagliari as Lorenzo Pellegrini (undisclosed) suffered an injury during warmups. He has started in all but one of Roma's Serie A matches this season, so he is likely to be back next weekend against 11th-placed Empoli, even with the addition of Sergio Oliveira to the midfield from Porto this week.

Tammy Abraham - Takes three shots against Cagliari Abraham took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Cagliari. He also made an interception in the match.

Impact Abraham was dangerous going forward on Sunday but he wasn't able to find his eighth goal of the season. Still, he has netted six times in his last 10 Serie A appearances since the start of November, and he will be looking for more next weekend against Empoli, which have conceded 43 goals in 22 matches, the second-worst defensive record in the league.
