Silvere Ganvoula - Joins Monza Ganvoula has agreed to a contract until 2026 with Monza upon completing his transfer from Young Boys, the team announced.

Impact Ganvoula tallied one goal, 13 shots (six on target), one key pass and four crosses (zero accurate) in eight Champions League matches (six starts) and hit the net five times in 18 Super League games so far. He should have a big role once he settles in considering the recent departures of Milan Djuric and Daniel Maldini in the Monza frontline.

Stefano Turati - Bows out early in Verona match Turati made two saves and allowed one goal in 67 minutes before exiting Saturday's 1-0 loss to Verona due to injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Turati was beaten early by a goofy own goal and asked to come out in the second half due to an unspecified issue. He'll need to be evaluated ahead of next Sunday's away game versus Lazio. Semuel Pizzignacco had a good showing in relief and would man the sticks if he missed time.

Gianluca Caprari - Absent for Verona match Caprari will skip Saturday's game against Verona due to a late muscular injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Caprari got hurt late in the week and will be assessed after the fixture. Dany Mota Carvalho, Andrea Petagna, Samuele Vignato and Gaetano Castrovilli are the only remaining options since Daniel Maldini (transfer market) is missing as well.

Daniel Maldini - Ruled out for Verona game Maldini hasn't been selected for Saturday's game against Verona because he's about to transfer, Mediaset reported.

Impact Maldini has already taken the medicals with Atalanta but won't be involved in this round due to the recency of the transfer. Monza will turn to Dany Mota Carvalho, Patrick Ciurria, Gianluca Caprari, Andrea Petagna and newcomer Gaetano Castrovilli.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Danilo D`Ambrosio - Will skip Verona game D'Ambrosio has been omitted from Monza's call-ups for Saturday's game against Verona.

Impact D'Ambrosio picked up a late injury in training as he wasn't mentioned among the absentees by the coach in the pre-game presser. The boss will either trust one of the newcomers, Tomas Palacios, Arvid Brorsson or Stefan Lekovic, or change the scheme.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gaetano Castrovilli - Heads to Monza Castrovilli has joined Monza on a season-long loan from Lazio, the club announced.

Impact Castrovilli had a limited role at Lazio, registering five tackles, three interceptions, one clearance and two key passes in nine Serie A appearances (one won). Monza aren't very deep in the midfield and could lose further linchpins down the stretch.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Akpa - Will skip Verona game Akpa Akpro won't be an option against Verona on Saturday, coach Salvatore Bocchetti stated.

Impact Akpa Akpro will be sidelined for at least one contest because of a muscular injury. Monza are down to Kacper Urbanski and Stefano Sensi in the midfield as Warren Bondo (thigh), Matteo Pessina (thigh) and Roberto Gagliardini (thigh) are missing too.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stefano Turati - Four saves in defeat Turati registered four saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-0 defeat to Genoa.

Impact This marked the second consecutive match that Turati recorded four saves. However, he also has conceded a total of five goals over those two outings. Up next for Monza is a meeting with Hellas Verona on Saturday.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Caprari - Two chances created in loss Caprari registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 2-0 loss against Genoa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 20th m...

Impact Caprari accounted for at least one chance created for an eighth time in the last nine games, with this being the fourth time in that span that he registered two chances created. This also marked the first time in four outings that he recorded more than two crosses, while he landed just his second accurate cross in that period.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Arvid Brorsson - Joins Monza Brorsson has officially transferred to Monza from Myallby AIF, the club communicated.

Impact Brorsson has played in various outfits in Sweden, accumulating 92 matches in the Allsvenskan, scoring four goals, and 68 in the Superettan. He'll contribute to substitute for departed linchpin Pablo Mari along with fellow newcomer Tiago Tomas Palacios.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dany Mota - Plays one half versus Genoa Mota Carvalho (foot) had one off-target shot, one key pass and one cross (one accurate) in 45 minutes in Monday's 2-0 loss to Genoa.

Impact Mota Carvalho saw robust playing time in his return but didn't make a great impact on the game. He replaced Georgios Kyriakopoulos in an aggressive sub, with Patrick Ciurria moving to the wing. He could soon supplant Gianluca Caprari and shoulder the attack after the departure of Milan Djuric.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alessandro Bianco - Suspended for Verona game Bianco had one block and one cross (zero accurate), drew two fouls and picked up his fifth yellow card in Monday's 2-0 loss to Genoa.

Impact Bianco came in at halftime and didn't have a great match. He'll miss the next match due to yellow-card accumulation. Monza would be very undermanned in the midfield if Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro (undisclosed) and Warren Bondo (thigh) didn't recover. Stefano Sensi and Kacper Urbanski are currently the only available options.

JANUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Akpa - Leaves Genoa game in first half Akpa Akpro had one interception in 43 minutes in Monday's match versus Monza before exiting due to injury, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Akpa Akpro filled in for Warren Bondo (thigh) in the midfield but didn't pick up many stats and subbed off before the interval after getting dinged up while committing a foul. It wasn't clear whether the problem was muscular or traumatic. He'll be evaluated ahead of Saturday's home game against Verona. Alessandro Bianco came off the bench to replace him. Stefano Sensi is the only other healthy midfielder.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dany Mota - Fit Monday Mota Carvalho (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Genoa.

Impact Mota Carvalho was deemed fit ahead of the match and finds the team sheet Monday, returning to a spot on the bench. He has started in 12 of his 16 appearances this season and is a typical starter when fit, so he will hope to see that spot after testing his legs against Monza.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dany Mota - Good to go for Genoa bout Mota Carvalho (foot) "has recovered and practiced well," coach Salvatore Bocchetti relayed.

Impact Mota will be back from a two-game absence which was caused by a flare-up of plantar fasciitis, Tuttomercatoweb informed. He might have to deal with the nagging injury for a while, but he's fit enough to play in this one and is a prime candidate to absorb Milan Djuric's minutes, who just left the team. He has notched 10 shots (zero on target), three chances created and six crosses (one accurate) in his last five displays, with no clean sheets.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Mari - Unavailable against Genoa Mari (thigh) won't be an option Monday, coach Salvatore Bocchetti stated.

Impact Mari will skip the second contest in a row and is also reportedly in talks to leave the club. Monza could roll with the same defense they used last week since Andrea Caldirola (undisclosed) hasn't recovered either.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Bondo - Will miss Genoa tilt Bondo (thigh) won't be available Monday, coach Salvatore Bocchetti announced.

Impact Bondo will sit out at least one fixture after picking up a thigh injury last week. Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro will likely move to the middle, with Samuele Vignato or Kacper Urbanski on the wing. Stefano Sensi is also an option.

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kacper Urbanski - Moves to Monza Urbanski has transferred to Monza on a season-long loan from Bologna, the clubs announced.

Impact Urbanski had a decent start but progressively lost minutes as Bologna recovered some pieces in the midfield, primarily Lewis Ferguson. He'll have a better shot at being a regular at Monza. He has scored once and added eight shots (one on target), nine key passes, eight 17 crosses (five accurate) and 10 crosses in 11 appearances (four starts).

JANUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Pessina - Not too close from returning Pessina "will be out for about a month still," Monza CEO Adriano Galliani announced.

Impact Pessina has been absent since late November and will sit out at least three or four more matches while he rehabs a major thigh issue. Alessandro Bianco, Warren Bondo (thigh) and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro will continue handle the minutes at the position.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgos Kyriakopoulos - Paltry in Bologna match Kyriakopoulos (thigh) had three crosses (zero accurate), one interception and three clearances and was booked in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Bologna.

Impact Kyriakopoulos was rushed into the starting lineup due to a few absences but wasn't great on either end and struggled defensively like the last of the rearguard. He has recorded four shots (two on target), five key passes, 47 crosses (six accurate) and 12 corners in his last five displays, scoring once.

JANUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Patrick Ciurria - Assist in start Ciurria assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Bologna.

Impact Ciurria has directly contributed to a goal in each of his last two appearances, the midfielder's latest with an assist to Daniel Maldini. The former has already tied his assist tally from a season ago.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Maldini - Scores again Maldini scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Maldini has logged a goal in each of his last two appearances. They are a stark contrast to the earlier half of his 2024-25 season, which saw him score only once in 19 appearances. Perhaps he is turning over a new leaf with the second half of Bologna's campaign, with him only one goal away from tying his goal tally for Monza's 2023-24 team.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stefano Turati - Concedes three goals Turati made four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Bologna.

Impact For the first time this season, Turati conceded more than two goals in a Serie A game. Bad consistency has been the theme of Turati's current season, defined by his one clean sheet in 18 appearances with Bologna. Turati will look to get back on track with a game at Genoa on Jan. 27.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pedro Pereira - Will return against Genoa Pereira completed a one-match suspension in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Bologna.

Impact Pereira should be back in the XI regardless of the scheme since Samuele Birindelli (thigh) will miss time. He has scored and assisted once in his last five outings, adding three shots (two on target), eight clearances and five crosses (one accurate).

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Bondo - Leaves Bologna match in first half Bondo was subbed off in the 39th minute of Saturday's game versus Bologna due to a possible thigh injury, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Bondo didn't log any stat and bowed out due to muscular discomfort. He'll take some tests before next Monday's match versus Genoa. The coach inserted Samuel Vignato and move Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro to the center, going with a more attacking formation.
