He'll take the tests in the next few days.

Excellent at Parma Bertola assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't feature versus Milan Bertola (thigh) didn't log any minutes in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against Milan.

Impact Bertola paid the price for a tactical switch, as the coach turned to a four-man defense and fielded one fewer defender. It remains to be seen whether that will be the way to go in the next matches, given the result. He'd have to supplant Thomas Kristensen to play if that were the case.

Makes bench Saturday Bertola (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against AC Milan.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Milan tilt Bertola (undisclosed) has escaped without serious consequences and should be an option versus Milan, as coach Kosta Runjiac stated that he has the whole squad at his disposal.

Impact Bertola should avoid missing time after bowing early in the previous game but will face competition from Saba Goglichidze. The boss also has the option of changing the scheme and inserting an extra midfielder. He has totaled two key passes, one tackle, two interceptions and 14 clearances in three matches, with no clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Udinese Bertola has agreed to a contract with Udinese until 2030 after leaving Spezia as a free agent.

Impact Bertola is coming off a strong season in Serie B where he scored three goals and provided two assists in 28 matches in addition to being solid in the back. He's Udinese's first signing after selling Jaka Bijol to Leeds United, but he might not be the last at the position.
