He appears to have leapfrogged Isak Hien in the hierarchy, while Odilon Kossonou is currently away for AFCON. He has posted five tackles (two won), two interceptions and nine clearances in two games since returning to the XI after multiple injuries.

Avoids particular problems Scalvini (calf) is nursing some muscle fatigue, but won't be sidelined, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Scalvini signaled some discomfort before bowing out against Roma but was mostly cramping up and is poised to be for Wednesday's contest against Bologna, although he might still drop to the bench considering he hadn't played in three months before the last round.

Bench option in cup game Scalvini (thigh) was an unused sub in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Genoa.

Impact Scalvini recovered from his latest setback after skipping the previous three games. He has featured just once since mid-September due to multiple thigh problems. He'll re-join the rotation in the back, competing especially with Odilon Kossonou and Berat Djismiti, but he might be managed very carefully for a while, given his injury woes so far. He has registered one goal, six tackles, six interceptions and 11 clerances in five appearances (three starts), with no clean sheets.
