Will miss start of season Coulibaly has been diagnosed with a flexor muscle strain in his thigh, Salernitana announced.

Impact Coulibaly was sidelined multiple times with muscular problems in 2021/2022 and will begin the campaign behind the eight ball. Salernitana are depleted in the midfield after the departures of Ederson and Grigoris Kastanos and might be forced to lean on players on the fringes of the roster, such as Leonardo Capezzi or Michele Cavion, in the first couple of games.

Impact Coulibaly saw the most action in a while in the season finale, especially because he missed a lot of time due to thigh injuries. He has logged two goals, ten shots (four on target), five chances and 15 tackles in 12 appearances (nine starts). Salernitana avoided relegation, triggering their obligation to sign him permanently from Udinese.

Draws PK against Empoli Coulibaly (thigh) won two duels and drew one foul in ten minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Empoli.

Impact Coulibaly made his first appearance since mid-March and had a strong cameo, but Diego Perotti missed from the spot. He could get another opportunity in next Sunday's home game versus Udinese since Salernitana will be without Ederson in the midfield.

Stays out for Atalanta fixture Coulibaly (thigh) did not make the game-day squad list for Monday's 1-1 draw with Atalanta.

Called up for Atalanta game Coulibaly (thigh) has been named in Salernitana's squad list to face Atalanta Monday.

He will miss at least a month, while going under the knife would knock him out for the rest of the season. Salernitana are fairly deep in the midfield following the January additions, as they brought in Ederson, Ivan Radovanovic and Emil Bohinen.

At this point, even once cleared to play, the midfielder may have to make an appearance or two off the bench first given his extended layoff.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely for Spezia match Coulibaly (thigh) has remained limited in practice in the last few days, Corriere dello Sport reports.

Impact Coulibaly is headed for a third straight absence barring a late turnaround, as he picked up a new thigh injury shortly after returning from a previous and severe one. Salernitana have signed a few midfielders in January and also Lassana Coulibaly is back from AFCON for this one.

Impact Coulibaly made his return after sitting out multiple matches with a severe thigh injury, but he did not have a great performance. He should be a linchpin of the formation going forward. He has scored twice and posted eight crosses, 15 tackles and ten interceptions in nine games. Salernitana will face Lazio at home Saturday.

JANUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could be back versus Verona Coulibaly has recovered from his thigh problem during the winter break and should be available Sunday versus Verona, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Facing extended absence Coulibaly (thigh) will not need surgery but he will be out for about two months, Il Mattino reports.

Ruled out for Empoli match Coulibaly will miss Saturday's game versus Empoli due to a tendon issue in his thigh, coach Stefano Colantuono announced.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with sprain Coulibaly sprained his right ankle but did not sustain ligament or further damage, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

Impact Coulibaly has had issues in the same joint in the past, and the club could opt to be cautious to allow him to recuperate fully. He was limited to some rehab work this week and he is in doubt for next Saturday's game versus Spezia.

Scores goal Wednesday Coulibaly scored a goal on one shot in a draw with Verona on Wednesday.

Impact It was the second goal of the season for Coulibaly who hadn't registered a goal in any of his previous three seasons playing in Seria for Pescara and Udinese. The midfielder should continue to feature heavily in the Salernitana attack moving forward and should offer solid mid-range fantasy value.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
