He has featured just twice in the past eight matches since he didn't have a big role, injuries, and a suspension.

Bram Nuytinck - Named to starting XI Nuytinck (knee) will start versus Torino on Wednesday.

Tommaso Augello - Two crosses in loss Augello attempted two crosses (none accurate) in Sunday's 5-0 defeat to Fiorentina.

Impact Augello has three assists in his last four games and was the only player who looked capable of creating something on what was a miserable afternoon for the visitors. His team are without a victory in their last five and it is difficult to see where the next three points will come from.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bram Nuytinck - Questionable for Spezia game Nuytinck was limited to some work in the gym Friday, Sampdoria announced.

Impact Nuytinck isn't 100 percent and the fact that he was unable to practice on the pitch on the eve of the game doesn't bode well for his unavailable. Koray Gunter and Jeison Muriello would be next in line if he couldn't go.

Impact Ravaglia was clearly the man of the match here, making save after save after save to keep his side alive despite being entirely dominate by the opposition. The veteran goalkeeper already played three games since usual starter Emil Audero (knee) was sidelined and racked up 17 saves against seven goals allowed. Since Audero is likely done for the season, Ravaglia will have more opportunities to showcase how valuable he can be between the sticks.

Manolo Gabbiadini - Logs assist versus Lecce Gabbiadini made an assist and suffered two fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Lecce.

Impact Gabbiadini was highly ineffective while he was on the pitch, with the assist for Jese to draw things level at 1-1 being his lone significant contribution. A proof of his bad performance is that the forward was subbed of in the following minute of the goal he set up. With six goals and two assists over 27 league appearances this season, Gabbiadini is still one of Sampdoria's biggest hopes on their desperate fight against relegation.
