Luca Ranieri - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

DNP in Juventus bout Ranieri (foot) was on the bench but didn't feature in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Juventus.

Impact Ranieri is on the verge of recovering from a pinched nerve and should resume being available after sitting out for months, barring a late setback. He's a long shot to start, though. Ranieri has started four times so far, registering 15 clearances, four tackles (one won) and three interceptions, with no clean sheets.

Will miss another one Ranieri (foot) "has yet to recover," coach Paolo Vanoli announced.

Impact Ranier will skip his fourth contest in a row because of a foot injury, paving the way for Viery and Radu Dragusin to get the nod again, as Marin Pongracic (thigh) is also on the shelf.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't make bench Thursday Ranieri (foot) is not on the bench for Thursday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Ranieri was expected to be out of this match, so his absence from the bench isn't much of a surprise. The defender will aim to return for Monday's game against Sassuolo or the Sunday, Nov. 8 meeting against Juventus, which is Atalanta's final game before the November international break.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Atalanta tilt Ranieri (foot) has only minor chances to be available Thursday, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Ranieri continues to nurse a nagging foot injury and, while he could make a token appearance on the bench since Marin Pongracic (thigh) is missing, leaving Fiorentina depleted at the position, he's unlikely to play. Radu Dragusin and Viery are the only healthy center-backs at the moment.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Inter fixture Ranieri (foot) "is rehabbing and won't return Sunday," coach Paolo Vanoli stated.

Impact Ranieri will skip a second contest on the trot and is in danger of being unavailable also for the Atalanta and Sassuolo ones, given the tricky nature of his injury. Marin Pongracic or Viery will join Radu Dragusin in the middle of the defense in relief.

Out for Como contest Ranieri (foot) was unavialable for Sunday's game versus Como.
