Yerry Mina - Cautioned twice against Lazio Mina had one tackle (zero won) and one interception, created three scoring chances and picked up two yellow cards in 85 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lazio.

Impact Mina was threatening with his flick-ons on set pieces, setting a new season high in key passes, while he didn't have to do much in the back, ending a lengthy streak of appearances with at least one clearance and getting booked twice while stopping two dangerous actions with late tackles. Gabriele Zappa or Juan Rodriguez will replace him versus Parma away on Friday.

Luca Mazzitelli - Bows out early against Lazio Mazzitelli had one shot (zero on goal) and one interception in 42 minutes before leaving Saturday's game versus Lazio due to a likely muscular injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Mazzitelli was managed last week after a series of starts because he wasn't fully fit, but he didn't get completely healthy and limped off late in the first half. He'll take some tests before Friday's away contest versus Parma. Riyad Idrissi replaced him in this one, leading to a tactical adjustment.

Michael Folorunsho - Close to coming back Folorunsho (knee) "has been ramping up in the past two weeks but won't be available Saturday versus Lazio," coach Fabio Pisacane announced.

Impact Folorunsho hasn't played since late December, hurting his knee crashing into the post and then undergoing surgery to repair a torn MCL. He had started every game prior to the injury but will likely need a match or two to gear back into shape after being cleared to return.

Leonardo Pavoletti - Fires two shots in Lecce meeting Pavoletti won one tackle and had two off-target shots and two clearances in 57 minutes in Monday's 2-0 defeat versus Lecce.

Impact Pavoletti got the nod for the first time in the campaign because Semih Kilcsoy was dealing with a stomach bug but didn't seize the opportunity, missing the mark on his lone two efforts. His role is unlikely to grow. He has assisted once and posted four shots (zero on target) and one key pass in 10 showings this year.

Riyad Idrissi - Produces in rare start against Lecce Idrissi won four of six tackles and had five crosses (zero accurate), two interceptions and three clearances in Monday's 2-0 loss to Lecce.

Impact Idrissi helped replace Gianluca Gaetano (undisclosed) and Luca Mazzitelli, who wasn't fit enough to start, and had his most productive display of the year, setting new season highs in crosses and tackles. He has recorded two shots (both on target), six crosses (zero accurate) and 10 clearances in his last seven appearances (one start), scoring one goal.

Sebastiano Esposito - Lone bright spot in Lecce fixture Esposito created four scoring chances and registered 11 crosses (three accurate), one tackle (one won) and seven corners in Monday's 2-0 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Esposito was the only Cagliari attacker who had a productive display in a rough collective showing, setting a new season high in crosses and corners. He has created one or more chances in eight displays on the trot, accumulating 21 key passes and logging two assists, seven shots (two on target) and 39 crosses (11 accurate) over that span.

Marco Palestra - Middling showing versus Lecce Palestra drew two fouls and recorded one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Monday's 2-0 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Palestra struggled to get going as the opponents keyed in on stopping him. He has swung in at least one cross in 10 straight fixtures, racking up 36 (nine accurate). Additionally, he has registered one or more tackles in the past six rounds, amassing 13 (five won) and adding six shots (one on target) and three chances created in that stretch.

Gianluca Gaetano - Will miss more time Gaetano (undisclosed) "will likely be sidelined for two or three more weeks," coach Fabio Pisacane announced.

Impact Gaetano is nursing an unspecified muscular problem that will force him to skip at least a couple more fixtures. Ibrahim Sulemana and Riyad Idrissi will fill in for him in the meantime, but Michael Folorunsho (knee) is expected back soon.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Yerry Mina - Puts up numbers versus Lece Mina (knee) generated one tackle (one won), two blocks and eight clearances in Monday's 2-0 loss against Lecce.

Impact Mina looked like his usual self after sitting out one game because of knee soreness, but his side allowed two fairly cheap goals. He has posted at least eight clearances, one tackle and one block in his last four displays, contributing to two clean sheets.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Elia Caprile - Poor showing in Lecce contest Caprile recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-0 defeat against Lecce.

Impact Caprile didn't come out aggressively on Omri Gandelman's header and let a very catchable shot by Ylber Ramadani go through later on. He'll look to bounce back versus Lazio on Saturday. He has kept two clean sheets in the last five matches, making 14 saves and surrendering five goals.

Yerry Mina - Finds starting XI Mina (knee) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Lecce.

Impact Mina was set to return Monday and has made that happen, with the defender finding a spot in the center of the defense. He is their lead defender when fit and should remain in this role, only missing one start all season when deemed an option.

Yerry Mina - Returning versus Lecce Mina (knee) "is fine and has trained very well this week. We need to manage him a little, but he's very important for us. We're supporting him to allow him to do well in the final...

Impact Mina is dealing with recurring knee pain and might occasionally skip some contests in the future as well, but he's good to go for this one and will either replace Ze Pedro (calf) or get the nod over Juan Rodriguez or Alberto Dossena. He has tallied multiple clearances in his last nine appearances, piling up 49. Moreover, he has registered one tackle (two won) and at least one block, totaling six, in his last three outings, contributing to two clean sheets.

Alessandro Deiola - Back on the shelf Deiola (thigh) "will skip Monday's bout against Lecce due to a relapse of his thigh injury," coach Fabio Pisacane relayed.

Impact Deiola returned to the bench after an extended absence two weeks ago but went backwards and will resume missing time. With Gianluca Gaetano (undisclosed) also hurt, Ibrahim Sulemana could draw his first start since returning in January.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Gaetano - Unavailable against Lecce Gaetano "won't be an option for Monday's fixture versus Lecce," coach Fabio Pisacane announced.

Impact Gaetano suffered an unspecified injury in training and will skip at least one game because of it. Ibrahima Sulemana is the next man up in the midfield since Alessandro Deiola (thigh) is still on the mend. However, the manager could also decide to tweak the scheme and field an extra attacker.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Gennaro Borrelli - Will sit out more games Borrelli is nursing a flexor strain in his right thigh, Cagliari announced.

Impact Borrelli will be sidelined for at least a couple more contests after being a late scratch for the recent Roma one. Semih Kilicsoy has taken over the position at this point, while Leonardo Pavoletti will serve as the backup.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Elia Caprile - Concedes two in loss Caprile recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Monday's 2-0 loss versus Roma.

Impact Caprile gave up two goals in Monday's loss at the Olimpico, first getting clipped by Donyell Malen's chip in the 25th minute before conceding again from point-blank range shortly after the hour mark. His standout moment came early, though, as he nearly gifted a goal in the 16th minute by letting a backpass roll toward his own net and had to sprint back to claw it off the line. He wrapped up the match with three saves, pushing his season total to 87 stops across 24 Serie A appearances, a career high in Italy's top flight, and will look to bounce back in Monday's clash against Lecce.

Alessandro Deiola - Sidelined for Roma meeting Deiola (thigh) wasn't included in Cagliari's squad list for Roma on Monday.

Impact Deiola didn't suffer a new injury but trained on the side for most of the week to improve his conditioning following a previous one and won't be an option for this one. Luca Mazzitelli and Gianluca Gaetano have taken full advantage of the situation, while Ibrahima Sulemana is the top deputy sans Deiola.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Gennaro Borrelli - Absent versus Roma Borrelli won't be involved Monday due to a thigh injury, Cagliari relayed.

Impact Borrelli is undergoing evaluations for a flexor problem that might knock him out for a few weeks. Leonardo Pavletti and Agustin Albarracin will deputize Semih Kilicsoy up front in relief.
