Impact Castrovilli saw 73 minutes of play in the midfield Sunday, marking a second consecutive start after going unused in the outing before that.

Gianluca Caprari - Records eight crosses Caprari had two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Juventus.

Impact Caprari saw a second straight start Sunday after he had nearly gone three months since his last start, seeing the full 90 once again. His contribution would stand out despite no goal contributions, notching two shots and eight crosses, only coming one shy of the match-high. This was also only two off of his season-high in crosses, seeing 10 in one match this season.

Samuele Birindelli - Leads team in crosses Birindelli registered two shots (two on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Juventus.

Impact Birindelli would see a decently successful match but didn't earn a goal contribution in the loss, with the midfielder still notching a chance created, two shots and nine crosses, with his nine crosses leading his team. This was a new-season high in crosses for the player, only having reached six on three previous occasions this season.

Dany Mota - Fires in three shots Carvalho had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Juventus.

Impact Carvalho led his team in shots Sunday but to no avail, with zero of his three shots finding the back of the net, not even one finding a place on net. This keeps him at five goals and two assists this season. His chances of making it to double-digit goal contributions on the year seem slim with only four games left in the season, although he will at least look to break the tie with his seven from last campaign.

APRIL 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stefano Turati - Allows two against Juventus Turati made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Juventus.

Impact Turati made three saves Sunday, but that wasn't enough to keep Juventus out of the net, allowing two goals in the loss. This makes it nine straight outings without a clean sheet, with only two in 30 appearances this season. He will look for his third when facing Atalanta on May 4, although that seems unlikely.

Andrea Carboni - Will sit out Atalanta meeting Carboni won four of seven tackles and had two crosses, three clearances and one block and was booked for the fifth time in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Juventus.

Impact Carboni had a sound display and put up numbers in the back, setting a new season high in tackles. However, he won't be an option for the next tilt due to yellow-card accumulation. If Danilo D'Ambrosio (ankle) and Armando Izzo (thigh) remain unavailable, Tomas Palacios or Stefan Lekovic will fill out the backline.

APRIL 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Silvere Ganvoula - Will miss Juventus clash Ganvoula won't be selected for Sunday's game versus Juventus as he got hurt in practice, coach Alessandro Nesta announced.

Impact Ganvoula will skip at least one fixture due to an undisclosed injury and will be re-assessed next week. He has seen limited action in the past month, although he could have played more since Monza lost Balde Keita (thigh). Dany Mota Carvalho, Gianluca Caprari, Andrea Petagna, Omari Forson and Samuele Vignato will be the attackers at the boss' disposal in this one.

APRIL 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Roberto Gagliardini - Absent for Juventus tilt Gagliardini picked up an injury in training and won't be called up for Sunday's match versus Juventus, coach Alessandro Nesta relayed.

Impact Gagliardini will be re-evaluated ahead of next Sunday's home game versus Atalanta. He hasn't started since recovering from a previous major thigh issue, coming off the bench in three of the past four matches. Gaetano Castrovilli, Patrick Ciurria, Kacper Urbanski and Stefano Sensi could see an uptick in minutes due to his absence.

APRIL 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Armando Izzo - Unavailable versus Juventus Izzo (thigh) won't be involved Sunday against Juventus, coach Alessandro Nesta stated.

Impact Izzo will sit out the second bout in a row and is iffy also for the ensuing ones. Luca Caldirola joined Andrea Carboni and Pedro Pereira in the back last week, as Danilo D'Ambrosio (ankle) is missing as well. The alternative options are youngsters Tomas Palacios, Stefan Lekovic and Arvird Brorsson.

APRIL 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Keita Balde - Out against Juventus Balde (thigh) won't return versus Juventus on Sunday, coach Alessandro Nesta announced.

Impact Balde will skip the second contest in a row and likely more, although the club or the gaffer haven't provided a timetable. Gianluca Caprari, Andrea Petagna and Omari Forson will pick up the slack next to Dany Mota Cavarlho since Silvere Ganvoula (undisclosed) got hurt as well.

APRIL 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dany Mota - Paltry versus Napoli Mota Carvalho drew four fouls and had two shots (zero on target) and three clearances in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Napoli.

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Carboni - Holds his own against Napoli Carboni had three tackles (one won), eight clearances, two blocks and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Napoli.

Impact Carboni had a busy and impressive display while under pressure even though his side's resistance couldn't last for the entire game. He should stay involved even should Danilo D'Ambrosio and Armando Izzo (thigh) return. He has tallied seven tackles (four won), five interceptions and 20 clearances in his last five displays, contributing to one clean sheet.

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgos Kyriakopoulos - Active in Napoli match Kyriakopoulos generated seven crosses (one accurate), three clearances, one key pass and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Kyriakopoulos reprised his role on the wing following a suspension and was productive as usual, leading his club in deliveries, but not particularly accurate. He has assisted once and totaled six shots (zero on target), 10 key passes, 22 crosses (six accurate) and 11 clearances in his last five outings.

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Caprari - Takes two shots against Napoli Caprari registered two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate), two interceptions and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Napoli.

Impact Caprari stepped in for Balde Keita (thigh) and was the most productive man for his side on offense. He'll have a regular role if the starter skips more matches. He has logged seven shots (two on target), three key passes, 10 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in the last six fixtures (one start).

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Caldirola - Busy in Napoli contest Caldirola had one tackle (zero won), six clearances, one block and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Napoli.

Impact Caldirola drew his first start in months as Armando Izzo and Danilo D'Ambrosio were both out due to thigh problems in this one and, while he had a decent shift overall, he lost Scott McTominay on the game-winning goal. He has recorded two tackles (one won), three interceptions, eight clearances and three blocks in the last three rounds.

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stefano Turati - Gives up one goal versus Napoli Turati made four saves and conceded one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Turati batted away a few menacing attempts but came out with the wrong timing on a cross, allowing Scott McTominay to bag a relatively easier header. He has surrendered nine goals and made 17 saves in the last five matches, with no clean sheets. Monza will face Juventus away next Sunday.

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Armando Izzo - Out for Napoli game Izzo (thigh) was omitted from Monza's squad list to face Napoli on Saturday.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Keita Balde - Will miss time Keita (thigh) hasn't been selected for Saturday's clash with Napoli.

Impact Keita could be sidelined for further fixtures as the team has yet to disclose the full extent of his injury. Gianluca Caprari, Silvere Ganvoula and Andrea Petagna are candidates to step in next to Dany Mota Carvalho.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pedro Pereira - Passable against Venezia Pereira had one shot (zero on target), four tackles (two won), one interception and four clearances in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Venezia.

Impact Pereira was decent and put up numbers in the back and had one of the biggest chances of the game for his side on a header. He has tallied four crosses (zero accurate), 13 tackles (six won), six interceptions and 14 clearances in the last five games, playing consistently as a center-back and not on the wing.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Caprari - Peppy in Venezia game Caprari drew two fouls and generated three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Venezia.

Impact Caprari played more minutes than usual since Keita (thigh) got hurt in the first half and was tough to contain for the opponents, although his team didn't find a way to score. He and Silvere Ganvoula would benefit if the starter missed time. He has come off the bench in the last five matches, registering five shots (two on target), two key passes, seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dany Mota - Fires four shots against Venezia Mota Carvalho drew two fouls and registered four shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Venezia.

Impact Mota Carvalho shouldered the weight of the attack after Balde Keita (thigh) subbed off and led his team in attempts but was rarely dangerous. He has scored once, assisted twice and added nine shots (four on target), 10 key passes and three crosses (one accurate) in the last five games.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Ciurria - Productive in Venezia bout Ciurria generated six crosses (one accurate), one key pass, two clearances and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Venezia.

Impact Ciurria co-led his team in deliveries along with Samuele Birindelli but was rarely on point. He might switch positions and play centrally with the return of Georgios Kyriakopoulos from suspension. He has notched two shots (zero on target), three chances created, 16 crosses (three accurate) and six corners in the last four tilts (two starts).

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Birindelli shined in the final third, leading his team in a couple of stats, but was steamrolled by Mikael Egill Ellertsson on the other end on the game-winning goal. He has scored once and notched six chances created, four crosses (three accurate), 19 crosses (seven accurate) and six tackles (five won) in the last six contests (all starts).

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Carboni - Wins three tackles in Venezia match Carboni (thigh) registered three tackles (three won), three clearances, one block and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Venezia.

Impact Carboni played most of the game despite missing more than a month due to a thigh problem and turned in a good shift, and his side conceded after he was replaced. He should recapture a consistent role especially with Armando Izzo (thigh) and Danilo D'Ambrosio (ankle) hurt. He has tallied 12 tackles (seven won), six interceptions and 22 clearances in his last five displays, with one clean sheet.
