With Domenico Berardi (undisclosed) also hurt, Benjamin Dominguez or Sebastiano Esposito will start on the right wing, while Nicholas Pierini and Laurs Skjellerup will have more chances than usual to get some minutes.

Impact Turati made his third consecutive start Monday and had another rough outing. He conceded four goals, three of which came after halftime, and made just two saves.

Luca Lipani - Signs new contract Lipani signed a new contract with Sassuolo until the end of the 2030/31 season Tuesday.

Impact Lipani has started in just three of his eight league appearances this season, and he hasn't done much from a fantasy perspective outside of recording defensive stats -- he has 10 tackles, seven interceptions and five clearances. He's likely to remain in a rotational role in midfield for the time being.

Kristian Thorstvedt - Will be back versus Roma Thorstvedt cleared a one-game disqualification in Monday's 4-2 loss to Roma.

Impact Thorstvedt got the standard punishment after a straight red card and will likely start in his return, as Vasilije Adzic, Ibrahim Sulemana and Darryl Bakola weren't great in relief. Thorstvedt has taken at least one shot, totaling eight (four on target), and created one or more chances, accumulating five, in his last four appearances (three starts), scoring once and adding three tackles (two won) and two clearances over that span.

Josh Doig - Uncorks three crosses against Lazio Doig registered three clearances, three crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles (zero won) in Tuesday's 6-2 defeat against Lazio.

He returned to the XI after Rafael Obrador got the call in the previous match. Doig has recorded one or more tackles in four games in a row, totaling six and adding five crosses (one accurate), two off-target shots and four interceptions in that stretch. Moreover, this marked his third straight outing with multiple clearances (nine total).

Domenico Berardi - Silent in Lazio fixture Berardi generated one cross (zero accurate), one interception and one corner and won one of tow tackles in Tuesday's 6-2 defeat versus Lazio.

Impact Berardi didn't get anything going in this one and snapped his season-long streak of performance with at least one shot and a four-game one with two chances created. Instead, he has registered one or more crosses and tackles in every appearance, totaling 18 (six accurate) and 11 (six won), respectively.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Armand Lauriente - Misfires in Lazio fixture Lauriente provided a secondary assist and registered four shots (zero on goal), one tackle (one won) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 6-2 defeat to Lazio.

Impact Lauriente started the action that led to Sebastiano Esposito goal and led his side in attempts, but his aim wasn't on point. He has sent in at least one cross in every contest, totaling 26 (six accurate), while also posting 14 corners and 10 chances created over that span, with one assist. Additionally, this was his fight game on the trot with at least one shot, for a total of 12 (two on target).

Simone Cinquegrano - Picks up assist in Lazio clash Cinquegrano assisted once to go with two interceptions, one clearance and one chance created in Tuesday's 6-2 defeat versus Lazio.

Impact Cinquegrano resumed starting after three matches, and while he struggled defensively like the whole rearguard, he picked up a point for a nice feed for Sebastiano Esposito. It's his maiden goal contribution. He had lost minutes to Ignace Van der Brempt in previous tilts. Cinquegrano has tallied one or more clearances in his last five appearances, totaling 15 nd adding four interceptions, three shots (one on target) and two key passes. Instead, he ended three-game streaks with at least one cross and one tackle.

He has recorded five shots (three on target), eight chances created and three crosses (one accurate) through six appearances, routinely starting over Kieron Bowie.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Idzes - Back on the bench versus Lazio Idzes (quad) was an unused sub in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to Lazio.

Impact Idzes was available for the first time since mid-September but wasn't deployed. He'll resume starting as soon as he's fit enough, as the defense has been very leaky without him. He has notched multiple clearances in all three outings, totaling 11 and adding two interceptions and three blocks, with no clean sheets.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Stefano Turati - Allows six goals but saves two PKs against Lazio Turati made two saves, conceded six goals and denied two penalty kicks in Tuesday's 6-2 defeat against Lazio.

Impact Turati was pummeled in this one, as his defense was woeful, but he made no glaring errors and guessed right on attempts from the spot by Mattia Zaccagni and Davide Frattesi. He might have done enough to stay ahead of Arijanet Muric a while longer despite surrendering eight goals in two tilts, with four saves. Up next, Sassuolo will host Fiorentina on Monday.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Kristian Thorstvedt - Scores and sees red versus Lazio Thorstvedt scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created before being sent off in the first half of Tuesday's game against Lazio.

Impact Thorstvedt bagged the first goal for his side with a nice shot from mid-range that was deflected by an opponent but was then expelled after just 31 minutes because of a very rough foul. He'll be suspended for at least Monday's game versus Fiorentina. Vasilije Adzic will likely fill in for him in the midfield.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
