Danilo Cataldi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unused sub in cup final Cataldi (groin) was available but didn't play in Wednesday's Coppa Italia final against Inter.

Impact Cataldi was good to go after skipping three Serie A contests due to multiple physical problems, but wasn't fielded. Patric and Nicolo Rovella are in better shape than him at the moment, so he's not a lock to see major minutes in the last two matches. He has recorded 12 crosses (one accurate), nine corners and eight tackles and created five scoring chances in his last five displays (four starts).

Probable for Parma game Cataldi (calf) has resumed practicing regularly in recent days, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Cataldi will have three or four full practices under his belt before Saturday's home game versus Parma and will have a shot at returning to the starting lineup at the expense of either Patric or Fisayo Dele-Bashiru. He's been a fixture when healthy and has posted at the last one shot in four straight appearances, amassing five attempts (two on target) and adding four chances created, eight crosses (three accurate) and 10 tackles (four won) over that span.

Will miss some time Cataldi is dealing with a mild calf strain, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Cataldi picked up a muscular problem in the last match and will miss at least Sunday's clash with Milan and likely also the match versus Bologna before the break, although he'll be re-evaluated next week. Reda Belahyane and Patric will substitute for him while Toma Basic (thigh) is out.

Exits Sassuolo tilt in first half Cataldi registered one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Monday's game against Sassuolo before subbing off at the 38th minute due to injury, Gianluca D...

Impact Cataldi did a little bit of everything during his time on the pitch and seemed to pick up a muscular problem late in the first half and was unable to continue. He'll be examined before Sunday's home game versus Milan. The coach decided to field Patric, who's a defender, over Reda Belahyane to replace him in the midfield in this one.

Impact Cataldi made a rare cameo off the bench, taking the pitch as part of a double substitution at the hour mark, and had an immediate impact in the middle of the park, being disruptive as usual while also finding room to support the offense during the closing stages of the match. With three goals and three assists over 23 league appearances and multiple games with strong peripheral numbers, the midfielder brings significant two-way upside and should be back in the lineup as soon as Mar. 1, when his team visits Torino.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers one assist Cataldi assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Juventus.

Impact Cataldi provided an assist for Gustav Tang Isaksen with a perfectly weighted ball in behind the defense against Juventus on Sunday, snapping a seven-match run without an assist. The midfielder remains an undisputed starter, having started 19 of his 21 Serie A appearances this season while tallying three goals and three assists during that span.

Completes suspension Cataldi served a one-match ban in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lecce.

Impact Cataldi will be eligible to play Friday against Genoa and likely start over either Matias Vecino or Toma Basic, especially considering that Nicolo Rovella (undisclosed) suffered a setback. He has scored once and added six shots (two on target), six key passes and 16 crosses (four accurate) in his last five displays (all starts).

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Disqualified for Lecce game Cataldi had two shots (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one interception and picked up his fifth yellow card in Monday's 3-0 loss to Como.

Impact Cataldi had a poor showing, like most Lazio players in the romp, and will miss Saturday's game versus Lecce due to yellow-card accumulation. Nicolo Rovella or Reda Belhayane will anchor the midfield, while Fisayo Dele-Bashiru could fill in for Toma Basic (thigh) and Matias Vecino (undisclosed) at box-to-box if they stayed out.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Nets opener on Wednesday Cataldi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Fiorentina.

Creative effort in draw Cataldi had two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Udinese. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 14th minute.

Impact Cataldi was very active in the match, creating four chances and continuing to serve as one of Lazio's main creative outlets with two league assists this season. He remains a key starter for Lazio, having started 13 of their 15 league matches so far. He now faces a tough test against Napoli, who sit third in the table and have conceded just 13 goals this season.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four crosses against Cremonese Cataldi generated two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Cremonese.

Impact Cataldi turned in a solid performance against Cremonese on Saturday but failed to record a goal contribution despite attempting two shots and delivering several crosses. The midfielder has started 11 of the last 12 matches, missing the other due to a calf injury, and has produced one goal and two assists during that span, though regular attacking returns remain unlikely given his role and position.

Muted in Bologna meeting Cataldi (calf) committed one foul and recorded one shot (zero on goal), one block and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Cataldi was rushed into the starting lineup upon recovering from a calf issue, as he was in better shape than Matias Vecino, but didn't put up stats in his return. He'll be a regular until Nicolo Rovella (groin) is fit. He didn't have a cross for the first time in eight appearances. He has tallied six in his last five showings (one accurate), adding three shots (zero on target), three chances created and four tackles (one won).

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Finds starting XI Cataldi (calf) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Bologna.

Impact Cataldi was dealing with a calf injury this week, but appears to have passed his testing and come through on the right side of the injury, as he is not only an option but starting Sunday. He is a regular and has yet to miss a start in the past nine games he has been an option for, likely to remain a starter.

DECEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Bologna fixture Cataldi (calf) has returned to full training and will likely be a bench option for Sunday's clash with Bologna, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Impact Cataldi has recovered quickly from a calf injury and is primed to contain his absence to just one game, although Matias Vecino and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru have better chances of starting over him in this one. He has launched at least one cross in his past seven appearances, totaling 10 (three on target) and adding six key passes and eight tackles (four one), with one goal and one assist over that span.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing strain Cataldi has been diagnosed with a low-grade gastrocnemius strain, Lazio announced.

Impact Cataldi will be sidelined for up to a month with a muscular problem, sitting out multiple fixtures. Matias Vecino will step in, but Lazio will be razor-thin in the midfield for a while since Nicolo Rovella (groin) and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (thigh) are also on the mend. The coach will have to tweak the scheme if something happens to the three starters.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early against Lecce Cataldi generated one cross (zero accurate), one interception and one corner in 45 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Lecce before bowing out due to a calf injury, Gianluca Di Ma...

Impact Cataldi put up a small number of stats in a few categories in the first half before subbing off at the interval due to a muscular issue. He'll need to be assessed before Saturday's away game versus Milan. Matias Vecino is the only other healthy midfielder available since Nicolo Rovella (groin) and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (thigh) are missing.
