Removed from XI for Inter tilt Altare was a late scratch for Sunday's match versus Inter as he got hurt warming up, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Altare was poised for his fourth consecutive start but picked up an undisclosed injury right before the game and wasn't involved. He's headed for some tests. His replacement Richie Sagrado limped off in the first half, so the coach turned to Ridgeciano Haps, who adapted to the role, as Verona are very thin.

Busy against Empoli Altare recorded three tackles (three won), eight clearances, three blocks and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Empoli.

Impact Altare had an excellent display in the back and put up numbers, but Empoli eventually perforated the Venezia defense after multiple attempts. He took over the starting job after Michael Svoboda suffered an ACL tear. He has registered eight tackles (all won), eight interceptions, 29 clearances and eight blocks in the last five matches, with no clean sheets.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Unused against Verona Altare (undisclosed) didn't play in Friday's 2-1 loss to Verona.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Selected for Verona tilt Altare (undisclosed) made Venezia's initial squad list for Friday's game against Verona.

Impact Altare should be back after sitting out three matches due to injury, but he was a late call, so he's a long shot to make a quick return to the starting lineup. The coach is likely to deploy Antonio Candela, Jay Idzes and Michael Svoboda again in the backline.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays out for Roma tilt Altare (undisclosed) "will likely return after the break," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Unavailable against Genoa Altare (undisclosed) won't be an option against Genoa on Saturday, coach Eusebio Di Francesco relayed.

Sidelined for Milan bout Altare (undisclosed) hasn't been inserted in Venezia's call-ups for Saturday's match versus Milan.

Impact Altare picked up an undisclosed injury in the final training session of the week and will be better evaluated after the game. Michael Svoboda, Joel Schingtienne and Jay Idzes are the only center-backs available since Marin Sverko is unavailable as well.

Bounces back against Fiorentina Altare had four clearances, one block, two crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (three won) in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Fiorentina.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlucky own goal Altare registered an own goal, one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-1 defeat versus Lazio.

Impact Altare's otherwise positive defensive performance was marred by his own goal late into the second half. Altare, attempting to defend an incoming cross, was caught sliding towards his own goal and slotted the ball home to put the match out of reach. Otherwise, Altare's five clearances led Venezia. He also has two interceptions and a block. The appearance marked Altare's first in Serie A since the 2021 - 2022 campaign with Cagliari in which he scored once over 19 appearances (17 starts).

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Altare finished the season with a pretty good showing, although Cagliari needed a win to avoid relegation. He has tallied 39 tackles, 30 interceptions, 70 clearances and five blocks in 19 appearances (17 starts), with two clean sheets. He would miss next season's opener due to yellow-card accumulation if a Serie A team scooped him out.

Impact It took Milan 59 minutes to score, and a big reason for that was the dominant defense from Altare. The Defender has been tough to get by lately, with 11 tackles and six interceptions in his last two appearances. Hopefully his defense can make a difference in the next match against Udinese.

Impact Altare saw the opposition scoring twice during the second frame but was still an imposing presence at the heart of the defense, pacing his side in several statistical categories and also proving some offensive contributions. With 10 tackles, 20 clearances, seven interceptions and even six shots attempted over his last four starts, the centre back will try to remain productive during next Saturday's home clash against AC Milan.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid against Torino Altare won ten duels and two of three tackles, had five clearances and took two off-target shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over Torino.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Cagliari Altare has penned a four-year contract upon joining Cagliari on a permanent deal from Genoa, the club announced.

Impact Altare has yet to make his Serie A debut and played for Cagliari's Serie C affiliate Olbia last season. He will likely move to a lower league later in the summer, otherwise he would be a deep reserve in the back if he stayed.
