Eljif Elmas - Gets the nod versus Roma Elmas (thigh) has been selected in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Roma.

Borna Sosa - Absent versus Roma Sosa (ankle) will stay out for Sunday's meeting with Roma.

He has totaled nine shots (four on target), two key passes, 15 crosses (five accurate) and five tackles (three won) in his last five appearances, with no goal contributions.

Marcus Pedersen - Plays five minutes against Lecce Pedersen (head) had one pass and one tackle (zero won) in five minutes in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lecce.

Impact Pedersen saw only limited minutes after skipping the previous game, as he's behind Ali Dembele and Sebastian Walukiewicz in the pecking order on the right defensive wing. His situation is unlikely to change ahead of the Roma game.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Cristiano Biraghi - Eight crosses, three accurate Biraghi had one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lecce.

Impact Somehow, Biraghi's eight crosses are a relatively low tally, considering he logged double digits in the category in four of his previous five appearances. The overall last six have seen the left-back be an immense threat despite no assists, with 59 crosses (17 accurate), 25 corners and 15 chances created.

MAY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Cesare Casadei - Three shots, two on goal Casadei recorded three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lecce.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - Four saves, one goal conceded Milinkovic-Savic had four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Lecce.

Impact Milinkovic-Savic logged more than three saves in each of his last two appearances. However, the goalkeeper remains without a clean sheet since April, so he will look to solve that problem next Sunday against a Roma team trying to clinch Champions League action.

MAY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Eljif Elmas - Late scratch for Lecce bout Elmas (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against Lecce.

Impact Elmas got hurt very late in the week, as the coach hadn't mentioned him in the pre-game presser. He'll take the tests after the game. Sergiu Perciun or Gvidas Gineitis will replace him on the left flank, unless the boss opts to change the scheme altogether and go with a three-man line.

MAY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Pedersen has recuperated from a facial/head injury and will resume being an option at right-back along with Sebastian Walukiewicz and Ali Dembele.

Yann Karamoh - Asbent versus Lecce Karamoh (groin) "can't run due to his injury," coach Paolo Vanoli announced.

Impact Karamoh will sit his second match in a row and will be re-evaluated ahead of the season finale but is a long-shot to return. He's mostly been a rotational piece. Valentino Lazaro is the top option at his position and will be backed up by Ali Dembele and Sergiu Perciun.

Cristiano Biraghi - Sends 14 cross in loss to Inter Biraghi recorded two shots (zero on goal), 14 crosses (six accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Biraghi was busy on both sides of the ball in this loss to Inter, but there's no question his numbers in the crossing department jumped off the page. He's now recorded at least 10 crosses in four of his last five starts and is averaging a solid 7.0 crosses per game this season.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Che Adams - Takes five shots in loss to Inter Adams had five shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Adams was Torino's most dangerous attacking player, and while he wasn't the sharpest when it came to his finishing, he still kept the Inter defense on his toes. Adams has nine goals and three assists in 34 Serie A appearances, but he's ending the season on a bit of a sour note since he's scored just twice over his last 10 league outings.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - Beaten twice vs. Inter Milan Milinkovic-Savic had five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Inter Milan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minute.

Impact Milinkovic-Savic couldn't do anything on the first goal, courtesy of Nicola Zalewski, and he was also beaten in the second half by Kristjan Asllani. The veteran goalkeeper has conceded at least one goal in six of his last seven appearances, but it's worth noting he's also recorded at least five saves four times during that stretch.

He has racked up six (zero accurate) in his past five showings, adding two shots (one on target), two corners, three tackles (two won) and six clearances, with no goal contributions.
