Arijanet Muric - Four saves in loss Muric registered four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Torino.

Impact Muric did what he could in Sunday's loss to Torino, making four saves but unable to stop Nikola Vlasic's penalty. The goalkeeper has now conceded at least one goal in five straight matches, during which he has recorded 18 saves. He will look to halt that streak on the road against Bologna on Sunday in Serie A.

Kristian Thorstvedt - Completes ban Thorstvedt served a one-match disqualification in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Torino.

Impact Thorsvedt will return against Bologna on Sunday and most likely replace Aster Vranckx, who wasn't great in relief, in the midfield. He has notched one or more tackles in his last six displays, amassing 11 (one won) and logging one goal, one assist and eight shots (three on target) in that stretch.

Impact Pinamonti hasn't managed to recuperate from a relapse of an ankle injury that has been bothering him for a while, although he played through it last week. Walid Cheddira has been chosen over Luca Moro to spearhead the frontline.

Andrea Pinamonti - Questionable for Torino match Pinamonti "suffered a physical problem in the last game, and he's not 100 percent yet. We'll understand after the last practice whether he'll be available or not," coach Fabio Gros...

Impact Pinamonti is dinged up and is at risk of missing this one. His status and minutes will depend on the result of a late fitness test. Walid Cheddira might step in regardless of whether the starter is good to go or not.

Woyo Coulibaly - Departs for AFCON Coulibaly has made Mali's squad for AFCON 2025.

Impact Coulibaly has mostly been a deputy this year, playing second fiddle to Sebastian Walukiewicz at right-back and occasionally starring on the other flank. He has appeared seven times (two starts). Sassuolo will be short-handed until either he or Yeferson Paz (calf) return.

DECEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Aster Vranckx - Unused sub in Milan meeting Vranckx (undisclosed) didn't feature in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Milan.

Impact Vranckx resumed being available after skipping three bouts but wasn't fielded right away. If in better shape, he'll be in the mix to start versus Torino on Sunday since Kristian Thorstvedt will be unavailable due to a suspension.

DECEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Pinamonti - Two assists in draw Pinamonti assisted twice to go with zero corners and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Pinamonti's slick, one-touch passing setup each Sassuolo goal Sunday as they played to a 2-2 stalemate at AC Milan.

Pinamonti has attempted 11 shots (four on goal) and scored once across his last five appearances (five starts).

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Ismael Kone - Consecutive appearances with goal Kone scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus AC Milan.

Impact Kone timed his run from out of the midfield to perfection Sunday and beat the keeper from close range to open the scoring as Sassuolo earned a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw at AC Milan. In addition to his goal contribution, the midfielder added two tackles (one won) and three interceptions to the team's defensive effort across his 90-minute shift. Kone's three Serie A goals across 13 appearances (13 starts) are his most in a single domestic campaign since his 2022 season in MLS with CF Montreal.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Armand Lauriente - Rescues points in draw Lauriente scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus AC Milan.

Impact Lauriente found himself on the receiving end of a series of one-touch Sassuolo passes Sunday and passed the ball into the net to level the match in the second half. In just 31 minutes of play, the substitute managed to rattle off a team-high three shots (one on goal). Lauriente has landed at least one shot on goal and created two chances in each of his last three appearances (two starts).

Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has produced 15 saves and eight clearances while conceding seven goals and recording one clean sheet. Muric will look to continue his positive run of form Sunday when Sassuolo hosts Torino, who are averaging one goal scored per match through 15 league fixtures.

DECEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Kristian Thorstvedt - Suspended for Torino clash Thorstvedt took one shot on target and had three interceptions, three clearances and one tackle (one won) and was cautioned for the fifth time in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Milan.

Impact Thortsvedt was particularly busy defensively, posting a new season high in interceptions, but will have to sit out Sunday's home game versus Torino due to yellow-card accumulation. Aster Vranckx or Luca Lipani will substitute for him in the midfield.

DECEMBER 14 • Associated Press

Andrea Pinamonti - Starting against Milan Pinamonti (lower leg) is in the XI to face Milan on Sunday.

Impact Pinamonti won't need to miss time after picking up a knock in the previous game and will continue leading the line as he's done in every match so far. He has scored four times in 14 appearances, two of which in the last five fixtures.

DECEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Aster Vranckx - Option for Milan fixture Vranckx (undisclosed) "has recovered from his injury," coach Fabio Grosso stated.

Impact Vranckx will resume being part of the squad after sitting out three matches and will be the top backup in the midfield behind Kristian Thorstvedt and Ismael Kone. He has notched two shots (zero on target), five tackles (three won), three clerances and one cross (one accurate) in his last five showings (two starts).

DECEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Pinamonti - Fit for Milan game Pinamonti (lower leg) "will be available Sunday," coach Fabio Grosso announced.

Impact Pinamonti left early last week, but his problem wasn't too worrisome, and he should be able to continue starting over Walid Cheddira and other alternatives. He has taken at least one shot in every match, totaling 36 (17 on target) in 14 appearances, scoring four goals.

DECEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Idzes - Logs six clearances in win Idzes made six clearances and drew two fouls during Saturday's 3-1 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Idzes wasn't as brilliant as his partner Tarik Muharemovic but definitely played a big part on the effort to completely shut down the opposing offense after an early penalty goal. The center-back isn't filling the stat sheet as he did at the start of the campaign but the numbers from this game show that he's on the right path to regain that form.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Arijanet Muric - Allows PK goal in win Muric made zero saves and conceded a penalty goal during Saturday's 3-1 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Muric saw Rolando Mandragora beating him from the penalty spot in the 9th minute and then his team bounced back to dominate the rest of the contest and come from behind to get the win. The issue for those who have the goalkeeper on fantasy teams is that he didn't face any other shot during the entire contest, which definitely hurt his stat line. Muric, who was coming of racking up double-digit stops on his previous start, will probably be much busier on Dec. 14 as his side visits AC Milan.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ismael Kone - Scores in win Kone scored a goal off his lone shot and drew two fouls during Saturday's 3-1 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Kone was a non-factor from a fantasy perspective for almost two thirds of the game but then, in the 65th minute, he sealed the 3-1 win with a great run and a clinical finish on a counter-attack. This was the second goal of the year for Kone, who, other than that, doesn't offer a lot from a fantasy perspective due to his role as a holding midfielder.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Armand Lauriente - Logs assist in win Lauriente made an assist, had four shots (one on target), created two chances and sent in three crosses (two won) during Saturday's 3-1 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Lauriente wasn't that effective in open play but wreaked havoc in set pieces, with one of his corner-kick crosses being an assist for Tarik Muharemovic to give Sassuolo a 2-1 lead in the first minute of the second frame. This was the second assist of the season for the attacker, who's been in and out of the lineup as of late and will hope it gives him some more stability.
