Mario Hermoso - Fit for Bologna contest Hermoso (hip) has been called up for Thursday's clash with Bologna.

Impact Hermoso is returning after sitting out five fixtures because of a hip injury. He has rarely been eased into action after his previous injuries, but it remains to be seen whether the gaffer will be more cautious this time. His presence will come in handy with Gianluca Mancini suspended. He has contributed to two clean sheets in his last five appearances, totaling nine tackles (seven won), 12 interceptions and 12 clearances.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Mancini - Suspended for UEL fixture Mancini is unavailable for Thursday's first leg against Bologna due to yellow-card accumulation.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Kostas Tsimikas - Seven crosses Sunday Tsimikas generated seven crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Genoa.

Evan N Dicka - Scores again Sunday N'Dicka scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Genoa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 12th minute.

Impact N'Dicka scored again Sunday, this time with an unassisted header in the 55th minute which tied the match at 1-1. He now has three Serie A goals this season, all of which have come in his last three matches. His sudden outburst of scoring has been remarkable but given he had not scored a single goal in three seasons prior to this stretch indicates that this is not sustainable. He's maintained good production on the defensive end though, finishing Sunday's match with eight clearances and one interception in his full 90 minutes of action.
