Giorgio Scalvini - Scores and limps off versus Roma Scalvini scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's match against Roma before leaving at the 68th minute because of a potential calf in...

Impact Scalvini broke the deadlock by outmuscling the goalie on a corner kick and bungling it home, but was forced to sub off in the second half because of a physical problem. He's headed for exams to assess whether he got hurt or ran out of juice, as he was making his first start in months after multiple absences. Isak Hien, who had unusually begun on the bench, replaced him.

Sead Kolasinac - Bows out early against Roma Kolasinac had one tackle (zero won) and one clearance before exiting Saturday's match versus Roma at the 26th minute because of a knee contusion, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Kolasinac was limping after getting tangled up with an opponent on a tackle and subbed off after getting some treatment. He recently returned from a severe knee injury. He's poised for exams to determine his status for Wednesday's away game against Bologna. Honest Ahanor replaced him in this one and would step in if needed.

Davide Zappacosta - Starting Saturday Zappacosta (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Roma.

Impact Zappacosta is fit enough to play as expected, making his fourth consecutive start in league play. He'll look to make an offensive impact from a wing-back spot, although he hasn't taken many set pieces lately. His inclusion in the initial squad will leave Yunus Musah among the substitutes.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Davide Zappacosta - Fit for Roma game Zappacosta (thigh) has reprised training fully and will be called up for Saturday's clash with Roma, TuttoSport informed.

Impact Zappacosta needed just a couple of days to get past some muscle fatigue and has good chances to continue starting over Yunus Musah, while Raoul Bellanova (thigh) is on the mend. He has posted multiple crosses in the last nine matches, amassing 39 (14 accurate) and notching one assist, nine corners and 18 key passes over that span.

Davide Zappacosta - Diagnosed with mild problem Zappacosta is dealing with muscle fatigue in his flexor muscles and is questionable for Saturday's match with Roma, L'Eco di Bergamo reported.

Impact Zappacosta subbed off before sustaining a strain or other serious thigh issues and has a chance to avoid missing time, but it'll be determined by how much he manages to do in training during the week. Yunus Musah or Nicola Zalewski would replace him if necessary.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Pasalic - Quiet despite starting against Inter Pasalic (personal) committed two fouls and had one clearance and one tackle (zero won) in 53 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Inter.

Impact Pasalic replaced Ademola Lookman (AFCON) in his return after the passing of his father, but wasn't a big part of the offense and didn't do much on the other end either. He'll tussle with Daniel Maldini and Kamaldeen Sulemana if the coach decides to continue using him in this role, but he's versatile. He hadn't started in six tilts and has posted two tackles (one won), two interceptions and two clearances in such a stretch.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Berat Djimsiti - Makes key error versus Inter Djimsiti (thigh) had eight clerances, one interception and one tackle (zero won) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Inter.

Impact Djimsiti saw full minutes despite coming off a small injury and put up solid numbers in the back, but he had a costly turnover that led to the decisive goal. He'll alternate with Giorgio Scalvini while Odilon Kossounou is away for AFCON. He has tallied four or more clearances in his last seven showings, amassing 41, posting nine tackles (six won), nine interceptions and four blocks and contributing to one clean sheet over that span.

Rasmus Hojlund eclipses Man Utd goal tally with another brace as Napoli star doubles down on decision to leave Red Devils

Gianluca Scamacca - Neutralized by Inter Scamacca recorded one scoring chance created and one foul drawn in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Inter Milan.

Impact Scamacca had a disappointing performance as he failed to find the target for the second straight game following his brace against Cagliari. The striker is having an up-and-down campaign, but he ended 2025 as the squad's scoring leader with five league goals. In any case, he may have more opportunities to increase his tallies if he stays ahead of Nikola Krstovic in the competition for the No. 9 spot going forward.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Charles De Ketelaere - Creates two chances in defeat De Ketelaere recorded one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Inter Milan.

Impact De Ketelaere generated his team's most dangerous plays against Inter, but he was denied an assist for the third time in a row. Despite struggling to make an impact on the score sheet, the attacker has created multiple scoring chances in each of his last seven starts considering both Serie A and Champions League activity. He should continue to play a role and may be more reliable for both shots and crosses when facing weaker opposition.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ederson - All-around effort in loss Ederson recorded three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Inter Milan.

Impact Ederson was busy in midfield, completing 91 percent of his passes and winning eight of 10 duels during this match. However, he missed several chances in his attempts to threaten the opposing goal. The central man is now averaging 1.2 shots (0.3 on goal), 4.2 duels won, 2.1 tackles and 1.2 clearances per game in domestic action this season.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Carnesecchi - Makes three saves versus Inter Carnesecchi recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan.

Impact Carnesecchi roughly reproduced his season averages of 2.9 saves and 22.8 accurate passes per game for a decent display against the league leaders. He has conceded just three goals over his last four matches played across all competitions, with his team showing some defensive improvement after a previous span of volatile performance. Up next is a home encounter with Roma, who have scored nine goals over their last eight Serie A trips.

Impact Zappacosta had a run-of-the-mill performance and didn't risk it after picking up a muscular ailment. He'll take some exams before Saturday's home game versus Roma. Yunus Musah or Lorenzo Bernasconi would step in for him on the wing if needed.

Berat Djimsiti - Starting Sunday Djimsiti (thigh) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Inter Milan.

Impact Djimsiti was likely to be an option Sunday and has now joined the team, recovering from his thigh injury after only one game out. He has been a typical starter all season and has only missed three starts when an option this season, likely to maintain this position moving forward.

Berat Djimsiti - Likely to be back versus Inter Djimsiti (thigh) will be in contention to start Sunday, Corriere di Bergamo reported.

Impact Djimsiti has recuperated quickly from a thigh injury and will be in the mix to complete the defense with Giorgio Scalvini and Marten De Roon, who would move back to the midfield if he didn't play in the back. He has logged four or more clearances in his last six showings, amassing 33, adding eight tackles (eight won), eight interceptions and four blocks and contributing to one clean sheet in that span.

Mario Pasalic - Reports back to the team Pasalic (personal) has returned to Italy and has resumed training regularly, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Pasalic will be available against Inter and will be an option either to replace Ademola Lookman (AFCON) as a no.10 or play in the midfield over Yunus Musah, should Marten De Roon be fielded against as a center-back. He has come off the bench in his last four appearances, winning one of one tackle and logging two interceptions, one clearance and one block.

Kamaldeen Sulemana - Ineffective in cameo against Genoa Sulemana (thigh) had eight passes and no further stats in 20 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 win over Genoa.

Impact Sulemana was deployed to help the final push by Atalanta and a pair of bursting runs, but failed to put up numbers. He'll compete primarily with Daniele Maldini while Ademola Lookman is on international duties. He has scored twice and provided one assist, adding eight shots (three on target) and four chances created in his six starts so far.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Kamaldeen Sulemana - Fit for bench Sulemana (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Genoa.

Impact Sulemana is ending his three-game absence and is with the team as expected Sunday, with the attacker earning a spot on the bench. He hopes to receive some time to test his legs and potentially take some time in the starting lineup for the players missing at AFCON, starting in six of his 11 appearances this campaign.
