Martin Vitik - Sustains minor injury Vitik will sit out Monday's contest against Cremonese due to muscle fatigue, Bologna announced.

Impact Vitik picked up some discomfort in training and won't be an option for this one. He came off the bench midweek after being an unused sub for four straight meetings. Two among Jhon Lucumi, Torbjorn Heggem and Nicolo Casale will get the nod in the middle of the defense Monday.

Jon Rowe - Available versus Cremonese Rowe (thigh) has been called up for Monday's fixture against Cremonese.

Impact Rowe is good to go after missing two matches due to a thigh problem and will resume competing with Benjamin Dominguez and Nicolo Cambiaghi (calf), who's also returning from an injury. His playing time was spotty prior to the physical problem and has registered four shots (one on target), three chances created and seven crosses (two accurate) in his last four appearances (three starts).

Nicolo Cambiaghi - Selected for Cremonese bout Cambiaghi (calf) has been named in Bologna's squad list to face Cremonese on Monday.

Impact Cambiaghi has recuperated quickly from a calf strain, sitting out just two matches. He'll resume alternating with Benjamin Dominguez and Jonathan Rowe on the left wing and has been the most effective of the trio. He has scored once and assisted twice in his last five appearances, adding seven shots (one on target), four chances created and 13 crosses (three accurate).

Emil Holm - Unused substitute versus Salzburg Holm was an unused substitute in Thursday's 4-1 win over RB Salzburg.

Impact Holm returned to the match squad for Europa League activity after overcoming a thigh injury. However, his next appearance on the pitch is likely to come in subsequent league games. He had three 90-minute performances in November, providing two assists over that span. He'll look to earn a spot in the contention with Lorenzo De Silvestri and Nadir Zortea in future weeks.

Napoli's resurgence sets up thrilling clash with Serie A leader Roma

Napoli has bounced back just in time to face Serie A leader Roma on Sunday

NOVEMBER 27 • Associated Press

Emil Holm - Available midweek Holm (thigh) has been selected for Thursday's UEFA Europa League match versus Red Bull Salzburg.

Impact Holm has recovered quickly from a thigh ailment and will limit his absence to just one game. He could be managed a little at first, but he'll likely resume starting in one of the next two fixtures. Lorenzo De Silvestri and Nadir Zortea both got minutes versus Udinese. Holm is in the midst of a productive stretch, having assisted thrice in his last four showings, adding four chances created, 13 crosses (four accurate) and 19 clearances, with two clean sheets.

Riccardo Orsolini - Assists, misses penalty Saturday Orsolini assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Udinese.

Impact Orsolini completed a good pass to Tommaso Pobega for the 54th-minute opener in a performance that was however marred by a rare miss from the penalty spot. The assist ended Orsolini's streak of six official matches without a goal involvement. While he has been the most frequent right-wing option and is still leading the team with six goals in all competitions, his playing time could now be threatened by Saturday's scoring substitute Federico Bernardeschi.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Bernardeschi - Scores off bench against Udinese Bernardeschi scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 win against Udinese.

Impact Bernardeschi bolstered an already inspired squad in the second half, scoring from inside the six-yard box in stoppage time of the victory. The attacker found the net for the first time in 11 games played (three starts) since returning to Serie A following a summer transfer from Toronto. He should remain a viable option in the rotation with Riccardo Orsolini while challenging both Orsolini and Juan Miranda for set pieces in future matchups.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Tommaso Pobega - Scores brace in victory Pobega scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Udinese.

Impact Pobega fired a left-footed strike that opened the scoring in the 54th minute before stealing the ball from an overconfident opposing defense to double his tally in the 59th of the game. He bounced back from a slow start to the campaign and earned his first two goal contributions, along with season-high marks of four tackles and two interceptions. He'll aim to carry the momentum going forward, though he might not be among his team's main offensive threats in his current position as a holding midfielder.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Miranda - Tallies six crosses in win Miranda registered six crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Udinese.

Impact Miranda handled his defensive tasks without problems and was able to attack a little, although he wasn't involved in his team's goals against Udinese. He has been active on the left flank of a four-man back line, with his most relevant numbers coming from playmaking actions, as he has taken 30 corner kicks, delivered 60 crosses and created 17 chances in 811 minutes of play across all competitions.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Casale - Strong defensive effort in win Casale recorded one tackle (zero won) and 13 clearances in Saturday's 3-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Casale made a game-high 13 clearances which were a factor for Bologna to neutralize their opposition in the weekend's visit. The center-back also won six of his 13 duels during his first 90-minute appearance of the current campaign. He's a member of the third-best defense in the competition, but his place in the lineup is not guaranteed as he competes with Jhon Lucumi, who was rested after serving international duty and is likely to regain a spot at some point.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Ravaglia - Keeps clean sheet against Udinese Ravaglia had three saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Udinese.

Impact Ravaglia was solid during his second start of the 2025/26 period, helping his side to an easy win. He was chosen over Massimo Pessina to take the spot of Lukasz Skorupski, who is ruled out for several weeks with a thigh injury. After registering three saves and a clean sheet in each of his two matches played, Ravaglia should be an appealing fantasy asset if he remains active in the Europa League clash against RB Salzburg and the subsequent Serie A meeting with Cremonese.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Ravaglia - Starting in goal Ravaglia (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Udinese.

Impact Ravaglia shook off an ankle problem and is now taking over the starting role between the posts with Lukas Skorupski (thigh) sidelined for multiple matches. The staff is confident handing him the spot even though Massimo Pessina performed well in the previous outing. Ravaglia has started 13 times in the last two seasons combined, allowing 15 goals, making 17 saves and keeping five clean sheets.

Ciro Immobile - Close but still out versus Udinese Immobile (thigh) hasn't been selected for Saturday's match against Udinese.

Impact Immobile logged multiple full training sessions in recent days, but the coaching and the medical staff decided to give him more time to work on his conditioning before returning to the pitch. He might be back midweek in the Europa League.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Ravaglia - Fit for Udinese fixture Ravaglia (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Bologna announced.

Impact Ravaglia shook off an ankle problem and should take over the starting job as Lukas Skorupski (thigh) will miss multiple matches, even though Massimo Pessina did fine in relief in the previous game. Ravaglia has started 13 times in the last two seasons combined, allowing 15 goals, making 17 saves and keeping five clean sheets.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Holm - Dealing with minor injury Holm will be sidelined for about 10 days due to a mild right biceps femoris problem, Bologna announced.

Impact Holm has avoided serious issues but is expected to miss a couple of Serie A matches. Nadir Zortea and Lorenzo De Silvestri will man the right-back position in relief.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Cambiaghi - Suffers calf injury Cambiaghi sustained a grade one soleus strain in his right calf and will miss approximately three weeks, Bologna announced.

Impact Cambiaghi got hurt while practicing with Italy and will have to sit out multiple fixtures after the break. Bologna also lost Jonathan Rowe in the same role. Benjamin Dominguez is the next man up, but he's not eligible to play in the Europa League. Jens Odgaard, Federico Bernadeschi and Charalampos Lykogiannis could man the position if needed.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Rowe - Will miss a couple of matches Rowe has been diagnosed with a low-grade biceps femoris strain in his right thigh and will be shelved for about three weeks, Bologna announced.

Impact Rowe will skip one or two contests after the break to make a full recovery. He's usually the second option on the right wing behind Nicolo Cambiaghi. Benjamin Dominguez is next in line, while Federico Bernardeschi and Jens Odgaard can adapt to the role in a pinch.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Lukasz Skorupski - Will miss extended time Skorupski will be sidelined for about 45 days due to a severe right flexor lesion, Bologna announced.

Impact Skorupski will return only in late December/early February, as his recent injury turned out to be serious. Federico Ravaglia (ankle) and Matteo Pessina will take over the position in the next several matches. The former is expected to heal up during the break.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Riccardo Orsolini - Quiet in Napoli clash Orsolini recorded one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 win over Napoli.

Impact Orsolini had a slow performance for his standards, failing to make his presence felt in the final third and to log a chance after creating four in the previous three tilts. He has cooled down after a scoring binge, as he hasn't had a goal contribution in the past six fixtures, during which he tallied 13 shots (three on target), five key passes and eight crosses (one accurate).
