Santiago Castro - Four shots Sunday Castro had four shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 defeat versus Fiorentina.

Impact Castro made his first start since March 16 Sunday and had an active first half. He took four shots in the opening half but failed to put a single one on target. That may be the reason why he was subbed off at halftime for Thijs Dallinga, who would go onto score later in the match.

Impact Miranda was busy as usual on offense but was caught smacking an opponent away from the ball and will miss the season finale against Genoa.

Jens Odgaard - Appears against Milan Odgaard (undisclosed) came off the bench in Wednesday's Coppa Italia final versus Milan.

Impact Odgaard was spared ahead of this match but still didn't get the call from the start, although he was able to make a cameo. It's uncertain whether he'll be fit enough to be in the XI versus Fiorentina on Sunday. Giovanni Fabbian and Tommaso Pobega can handle his role if need be.

Impact Ndoye was fit after missing the last three games due to a thigh strain, got the nod, and bagged the lone goal of the game with a tidy finish from inside the box. He might be managed against Fiorentina on Sunday. Nicolo Cambiaghi and Benjamin Dominguez replaced him in recent weeks. He has scored twice, assisted once and logged eight shots (four on target), six key passes and five crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances (four starts).

Emil Holm - Returns in Coppa Italia Holm (calf) got the nod and played most of Wednesday's cup final versus Milan.

Impact Holm worked his way back from a calf strain and had a strong showing but left a little earlier due to apparent fatigue, so it remains to be seen how much he'll be able to play against Fiorentina on Sunday on a short turnaround. Davide Calabria and Lorenzo De Silvestri are the other options at the position. He has posted two shots (both on target), two key passes, 14 crosses (four accurate) and 12 clearnaces in his last five displays.
