Devyne Rensch
ROMScores off bench in win
Rensch scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-2 victory versus Parma.
Analysis: Rensch stayed outside the box on a corner kick and blasted a powerful strike home after a pullback pass in stoppage time against Parma. The wide defender couldn't do much more in 15 minutes of play as Zeki Celik's replacement. Rensch has now scored once in addition to his three assists across his last five league outings. He could earn an increased role going forward as he remains in contention with Celik and Wesley for the wing-back spots in a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Selected for Bologna game
Rensch (thigh) has made Roma's squad list to face Bologna on Saturday.
Analysis: Rensch bowed out early last week due to a minor injury and has been able to recover in a hurry, but he might still drop to the bench, as the starter Wesley (thigh) is back from a multi-week absence. Rensch has filled in nicely, providing three assists in a row and logging three chances created, five crosses (two accurate) and five tackles (four won) in his last four starts.
Avoids serious issues
Rensch has been diagnosed with a contracture, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Analysis: Rensch escaped without a lesion and will attempt to recuperate during the week ahead of Saturday's away game versus Bologna. Kostas Tsimikas would get the nod if he and Wesley (thigh) weren't ready for a full complement of minutes.
