Absent for Verona match Fazzini (ankle) hasn't been called up for Sunday's fixture against Verona.

Impact Fazzini will sit out his third match in a row because of an ankle injury. Simon Sohm, Cher Ndour and Amir Richardson will continue to replace him in the midfield, although he had a reduced role prior to the injury.

Will miss Sassuolo game Fazzini "rolled his ankle and won't be an option Saturday, but we hope to have him back soon," coach Paolo Vanoli relayed.

Impact Fazzini was a late scratch last week and will skip his second game in a row. He hasn't played much in the past month following a run of starts, coming off the bench late in three tilts and being an unused sub in two, so his absence doesn't open up significant minutes. The new gaffer is leaning more on Nicolo Fagioli, Simon Sohm and Cher Ndour at the position.

Paltry in Milan contest Fazzini (ankle) had one tackle (zero won), one interception and one clearance in 70 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Milan.

Impact Fazzini received his fourth consecutive start but only contributed defensively and didn't put up big numbers. He starred alongside Nicolo Fagioli and over Albert Gudmundsson, as the coach continues to search for solutions during a slump. He was better in the final third in the previous two games. He has logged four shots (one on target), five chances created, three crosses (one accurate) and 10 tackles (three won) in the last five tilts.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Milan fixture Fazzini (ankle) resumed training fully Tuesday, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Fazzini was managed last week after picking up a knock, but the break allowed him to recover without skipping matches. He could continue playing over Nicolo Fagioli, Cher Ndour and more offensive-minded options after doing so in the past three matches, during which he logged four shots (one on target), four key passes, two crosses and nine tackles (three won).

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to miss time Fazzini suffered just an ankle contusion in the Roma tilt, La Nazione reported.

Impact Fazzini will be monitored during the break but has excellent chances of shaking it off in time for October 19's clash with Milan. He has started over Nicolo Fagioni and Cher Ndour in the past three games, while Simon Sohm is currently dealing with a foot injury.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Dinged up in Roma contest Fazzini generated one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in 68 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Roma before leaving due to an ankle sprain,...

Impact Fazzini had a run-of-the-mill performance in his third consecutive start and bowed out a few minutes after getting his leg trapped underneath him on a tackle. He'll be examined during the stoppage. Cher Ndour and Nicolo Fagioli would eventually benefit if he needed to miss time.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Fiorentina Fazzini has moved to Fiorentina on a permanent deal from Empoli.

Impact Fazzini was one of the few bright spots for Empoli despite the relegation and could have a prominent role next season too, since Fiorentina didn't retain several midfielders who were on loan. He put up four goals and one assist in 20 matches last year, finishing on a heater after missing a lot of time due to a thigh injury.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again in Verona match Fazzini scored one goal to go with six shots (two on target), five crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Fazzini did the best he could in this one and late in the season to stave off the relegation, finding the target with a tap-in in this case, but his efforts weren't fruitful. He had a very strong finish after battling thigh injuries, concluding with four goals, one assist, 27 shots (nine on target) and 32 crosses (two accurate). He'll most likely join a big team in the summer.

MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps on contributing Fazzini assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 win over Monza.

Impact Fazzini assisted on a goal by Lorenzo Columbo in the 49th minute of action and now has four goal contributions in 19 appearances on the season, all of them coming within the last five games. This also marked his second straight outing with a shot on target and two chances created.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Nets in Parma fixture Fazzini scored one goal to go with four shots (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Parma.

Impact Fazzini found the target on a well-crafted scheme on a corner kick, which allowed him to fire with relative freedom from the edge of the box, and he smashed it under the crossbar. He stayed active afterward and led his side in attempts. He has scored thrice in the last four rounds, adding seven shots (three on target), three key passes and 11 tackles (eight won).

MAY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in Lazio contest Fazzini registered two crosses (zero accurate), four tackles (three won), one clearance and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lazio.

Impact Fazzini starred in a more defensive role than usual since Alberto Grassi and Liam Henderson were suspended and Faustino Anjorin (undisclosed) got hurt, which hurt his offensive output. He failed to take a shot for the first time in four games, during which he has assisted twice and recorded five attempts (two on target), two key passes, four crosses (zero accurate) and nine tackles (seven won).

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Scores again in loss Fazzini scored a goal off his lone shot and created one chance during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Fiorentina.

Impact Fazzini didn't have many opportunities but showed efficiency in front of the net in the 57th minute, slotting home a pass from the right flank in what was his lone shot attempt. That's now back-to-back games with a goal for the midfielder, who will try to keep it during the final stretch of campaign where he had to deal with a lot of physical issues.

Impact Fazzini bagged his first goal of the season by slipping behind the defenders on a little ball over the top and volleying it home in front of the goalie. He has made back-to-back starts after a thigh injury and a red card. This performance should cement his spot in the XI. He has tallied at least two shots and one cross in three of his last four showings, adding two chances created and four tackles (all won).

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup against Napoli Fazzini had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), two clearances and one chance created in Monday's 3-0 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Fazzini drew his first start since late January as he missed time with an injury and a suspension and had a run-of-the-mill display in the final third. He'll split duties with Lorenzo Colombo, Sebastiano Esposito and Liberato Cacace in a pair of spots going forward. He has totaled five shots (one on target), three key passes, six crosses (zero accurate) and 10 clearances in his last five appearances.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Clears suspension Fazzini completed a one-game in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Cagliari.

Impact Fazzini will be back against Napoli next Monday and could get the nod over either Liberato Cacace or a defender, but he might continue to be eased into action after an injury. He has tallied three shots (one on target), two chances created, 10 crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in his last five displays (two starts).

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off against Como Fazzini (thigh) had one cross (zero accurate) and three clearances and was expelled in 31 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Como.

Impact Fazzini was eased off the bench in his return but received a straight red card for an ugly tackle in the midfield near the end of the game and will sit out next Sunday's home match versus Cagliari. Liberato Cacace will likely continue playing as a no.10. Ola Solbakken is also an option.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Earns bench spot Fazzini (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Como.

Impact Fazzini was expected to be fit Saturday and is, with the midfielder finding a spot on the bench. This ends an absence dating back to early February, hoping to remain healthy and see some starting time moving forward, starting in nine of his 12 appearances this season.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Como fixture Fazzini (thigh) has recovered and practiced without limitations in the past week or so, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Fazzini is poised to be back after missing six matches due to a thigh strain. He might be managed at first before resuming being the top option at this position. Youssef Maleh (knee), Liberato Cacace and Liam Henderson have alternated in his role in recent rounds. He has recorded three shots (one on target), two key passes, nine crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in his last five displays (two starts).

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Udinese tilt Fazzini didn't train ahead of Sunday's bout with Udinese and could be sidelined for more matches past it, La Nazione relayed.

Impact Fazzini will be absent for the second straight match Sunday and will be week-to-week afterward due to a thigh injury. Youssef Maleh, Szymon Zurkowski or Christian Kouame will fill in as a no.10 until he returns.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Absent for Milan clash Fazzini (thigh) will miss Saturday's fixture versus Milan, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Fazzini was diagnosed with a minor thigh injury after getting hurt right before kick-off last week and hasn't been able to recover during the week. Liberato Cacace, Szymon Zurkowski or Christian Kouame will take his place as a no.10.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Fazzini makes way for Youssef Maleh after an issue while warming up, but he's still listed on the bench on the League's site.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Makes appearance off bench Fazzini logged 15 minutes off the bench Saturday in Empoli's 3-1 loss to Lecce. He took one shot (on target) and had one cross.

Impact Fazzini returned to action amid transfer rumors and a thigh injury, but didn't make much of an impact. He'll likely have a bigger role next Sunday against Inter Milan after another week of training and recovery, as he was a regular starter prior to his injury.
