LEON BAILEY

The 28-year-old winger, signed from Aston Villa with high hopes, has yet to score a goal in 9 appearances for Roma. The Italian press criticized the injury-plagued player for a "lackluster performance".

KOSTAS TSIMIKAS

The Greek left-back, on loan from Liverpool, has failed to adapt to Gasperini's tactical system despite making 11 appearances.

Both players are expected to be sent back to their clubs at half-time due to technical incompetence and poor performances.
