Impact Sandro sat out this one due to yellow-card accumulation, but he's also nursing a minor thigh injury, so he'll have to be assessed ahead of Thursday's return leg versus Sporting CP.

Alex Sandro - Clears suspension Sandro (thigh) served a one-game ban in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Sassuolo.
Moise Kean - Poised to miss more games Kean (thigh) will likely sit out a pair of weeks, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Impact Kean pulled a muscle in his thigh in the lead-up to the Sassuolo game and is expected to be out for at least two or three more games. He's usually a backup. Dusan Vlahovic, Arkadiusz Milik, Angel Di Maria, and Federico Chiesa will divvy up the minutes up front while he's out.

Wojciech Szczesny - DNP against Sassuolo Szczesny (chest) was available but didn't play versus Sassuolo.
Impact Szczesny made the bench after a health scare, but Mattia Perin got the nod and had another solid performance. Despite his teammate's showings, he's likely to return between the sticks sooner rather than later, as he appears to have escaped without consequences.

Gregoire Defrel - Goal as substitute Defrel scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win against Juventus.
Impact Defrel's latest goal was his first since Jan. 29. After going goalless across his games started from Feb. 4 to March 6, he was demoted to a substitute. It took six games, but Defrel finally got back on the scoresheet. With a goal drought behind him, he will look to use the momentum from his latest log as a means of getting favored more again.

Nedim Bajrami - Attempts 11 crosses Bajrami had two shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and nine corners in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Juventus.
Impact Sassuolo was without Domenico Berardi (thigh), allowing Bajrami to shine. Though he did not log an assist, his cross volume helped keep Sassuolo competitive during its upset win over Juventus. Even though Berardi will reclaim his usual role, Bajrami's latest performance could warrant at least a bit more usage consideration across Sassuolo's future games before his loan deal expires.

Martin Erlic - Records eight clearances Erlic recorded eight clearances in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Juventus.
Impact Erlic's eight clearances helped Sassuolo log an upset win over Juventus on Sunday. Having contributed to two clean sheets across his last three appearances, he will be a promising option for consideration when Sassuolo visits lower-ranked Salernitana on Saturday.
