Alessandro Buongiorno - Not expected back soon Buongiorno (knee) is working his way through the rehab protocol without hiccups, but he will need at least a couple of months to be ready, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.

Impact Buongiorno underwent knee surgery in July for a persistent meniscus injury, and the procedure he and the club chose requires a longer recovery period, though it should prevent future issues. Rafa Marin has been the main beneficiary of his absence. Benoit Badiashile and Sam Beukema could get more chances once the schedule thickens up.
