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

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.

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

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.

He recorded two saves, one from inside the box, and was aided by a Sebastiano Luperto goal-line clearance to maintain the shutout. He will look to carry that form into a difficult road match at Roma on Monday.
