Morten Thorsby - Picks up shoulder injury Thorsby sprained his shoulder versus Atalanta but escaped without severe damage, Il Secolo XIX reported.

Impact Thorsby will be re-evaluated in a week and won't be an option against Roma next Monday, but the team is hopeful for a quick recovery. He came off the bench in the last two matches, as Mikael Egill Ellertsson has started over him. Patrizio Masini and Nicolae Stanciu will be the main deputies in the midfield, considering that Albert Gronbaek (thigh), Junior Messias (thigh) and Jean Onana (AFCON) are also unavailable.

Leo Ostigard - DNP in Atalanta fixture Ostigard (calf) didn't feature in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Atalanta.

Impact Ostigard was available after sitting out two fixtures, but wasn't fielded in this one to avoid more serious issues and allow him to recuperate fully. He'll reclaim a starting job over either Sebastian Otoa or Alessandro Marcandalli once he's closer to 100 percent.

Nicola Leali - Expelled immediately against Atalanta Leali received a straight red card after three minutes in Sunday's meeting with Atalanta.

Impact Leali got caught in no man's land on a counter, also due to a blunder by a teammate, and fouled Daniel Maldini, who had escaped a pair of defenders, outside the box. He'll be disqualified for next Monday's away game versus Roma. Daniele Sommariva took his place as his top deputy, Benjamin Siegrist, is currently nursing a finger injury.

Leo Ostigard - Bench option Ostigard (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Ostigard was back in training this week and is now with the team as they prepare to face Atalanta, an option from the bench. After ending his two-game absence, he is likely to return to a starting role, starting in all but one game he has been an option for this campaign.

Albert Gronbaek - Suffers another injury Gronbaek "won't be available against Atalanta, as he's dealing again with the same issue that affected him recently", coach Daniele De Rossi stated.

Impact Gronbaek will go back to the sidelines after recently sitting out one bout because of a mild thigh injury. He's been a fringe part of the rotation in recent months, so his unavailability doesn't open up much playing time for other midfielders.

Maxwel Cornet - Back on the shelf Cornet "is unavailable due to a relapse of a previous injury," coach Daniele De Rossi announced.

Impact Cornet recently missed time with a thigh problem and will be sidelined for at least one more contest, if not more, as the gaffer didn't specify the severity of the situation. He hasn't had much of a role so far due to continuous absences.

Leo Ostigard - Set to be back versus Atalanta Ostigard (calf) "has shaken off his injury, and his minutes will hinge on how he responds to the next practices," coach Daniele De Rossi relayed.

Impact Ostigard is poised to return after skipping two fixtures because of a minor calf issue and will replace either Sebastian Otoa or Alessandro Marcandalli if he does enough in training late in the week. He's a staple when healthy. He has posted double-digit clearances in his last three displays, amassing 35 and adding five tackles (all won), two interceptions and five blocks, with no clean sheets over that span.

Jean Onana - Will take part in AFCON Onana has been inserted in Cameroon's squad list for AFCON 2025.

Impact Onana hasn't played much this season, making just one appearance off the bench, also due to multiple injuries, but he has been called up anyway and won't be an option for a few Serie A fixtures.

DECEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Nicola Leali - Allows two in loss Leali made six saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Leali maybe could've done a little better when Yann Aurel Bisseck beat him in the 6th minute. On the other hand, Lautaro Martinez's finish for the goal that double the opposition's lead seemed impossible to stop. The goalkeeper then bounced back during the second half, making multiple stops that enabled his team to get back in contention but it wasn't enough for Genoa to salvage a point here. With multiple goals allowed in more than half of the games he played this season, Leali will have another tough challenge on Dec. 21 as his team hosts Atalanta.

Aaron Martin - Logs assist in loss Martin delivered an assist and sent in nine crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Martin was active as usual on the attacking end, once again pacing his side in crosses and he also assisted Vitinha for his team's lone goal midway through the second frame. With one goal, three assists, 25 chances created and 55 crosses over his last six starts, the full-back is becoming one of Serie A's most intriguing fantasy assets at his position.

Vítor Carvalho - Scores in loss Vitinha scored a goal off his lone shot and drew three fouls during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Vitinha made things interesting in the 68th minutes when he used his speed to beat the defenders and the goalkeeper before sending the ball into the empty net for the goal that cut his team's deficit to just one goal. After being scoreless over his first 10 appearances, the forward is starting to heat up, with two goals and an assist over the last four.

Impact Messias is expected to miss two or three matches with his latest muscular setback. He had just returned from a thigh one. He's been a fringe part of the rotation so far, coming off the bench in four matches. Albert Gronbaek (thigh) and Mikael Egill Ellertsson will soak up his minutes.
