SC Pisa Team News - Soccer

Adrian Semper - Back on the bench versus Fiorentina Semper (knee) "is in better shape and has practiced fully for two days, but Nicolas will start again Monday," coach Oscar Hiljemark relayed.

Impact Semper has overcome a minor knee problem that shelved him for a month, but the gaffer will wait until he's closer to 100 percent before giving him the nod. Simone Scuffet (undisclosed) is on the mend, so third-stringer Nicolas will stay between the sticks.

Simone Scuffet - Will miss more time Scuffet will skip a couple more games because of a first-grade strain, Sesta Porta relayed.

Impact Scuffet will be unavailable for further matches on top of the recent Milan one because of a muscular injury. Adrian Semper (knee) is expected to be back beforehand, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be good to go for the upcoming Fiorentina game. Otherwise, Nicolas will fill in again.

Matteo Tramoni - Struggles in Milan contest Tramoni had one tackle (one won) and seven passes and drew one foul in 57 minutes in Friday's 2-1 loss to Milan.

Impact Tramoni got the call after not playing last week in the first match under a new coach, but didn't get anything going offensively, halting a 10-game streak with at least one cross, and was yanked early. He'll have to split minutes with Rafiu Durosinmi, Filip Stoijlkovic, Mehdi Leris and Samuel Iling-Junior if he doesn't deliver consistently. He has scored and assisted once in his last five showings, adding six shots (two on target), six chacnes crated and 10 corners.

Marius Marin - Serves disqualification Marin completed a one-game ban in Friday's 2-1 defeat versus Milan.

Impact Marin will be back available for next Monday's away game versus Fiorentina, but Felipe Loyola, who scored in this one, had already started over him in the previous tilt. Marin has recorded at least one tackle in his last five showings (four starts), accumulating 10 (three won) and adding four crosses (zero accurate) and seven clearances over that span.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Idrissa Toure - Contained by Milan defenders Toure won two of two tackles and had four clearances, one nterceptions and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-1 loss against AC Milan.

Impact Toure put up stats on both ends but wasn't great offensively, ending a five-game streak with at least one shot. Instead, he tallied one or more crosses in the last 13 fixtures, amassing 36 deliveries (three accurate). Moreover, he has had at least one tackle in 12 appearances in a row, totaling 23 (15 won).

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Stefano Moreo - Creates two chances in Milan clash Moreo had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 2-1 defeat versus AC Milan.

Impact Moreo was the most active attacker for his side in a difficult match-up, but wasn't as busy and dangerous as in some of his previous outings. He has logged at least one shot in six games in a row, racking up 16 attempts (six on target) and adding no interceptions and 15 clearances over that span. Additionally, he has tallied one cross (zero accurate) and at least one key pass, amassing four, in the past three meetings.

Samuele Angori - Imprecise showing against Milan Angori drew two fouls and recorded two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Friday's 2-1 loss versus AC Milan.

Impact Angori was a significant part of the offense as usual, thanks to his activity on the wing, but failed to have an accurate cross for the second round in a row, despite his volume. He has had at least one delivery in every seasonal appearance, averaging nearly five per contest (1.3 accurate). He has posted one or more clearances in the last five matches, racking up 13 and logging four chances created and two blocks over that span. Instead, he didn't register a single tackle for the first time in seven bouts.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Felipe Loyola - Scores versus Milan Loyola scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and two interceptions in Friday's 2-1 loss versus AC Milan.

Impact Loyola had a well-rounded display in his second start in a row. He caused a PK due to a reckless tackle, which Niclas Fullkurg missed, but he was at the right place at the right time to slot it on a defensive miscue on the other end. He might have done enough to be a regular starter over Marius Marin and Ebenezer Akinsanmiro going forward. He has notched one tackle (two won) and two clearances in each of his three Serie A appearances, adding five interceptions, two key passes and two shots (one on target).

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas - Concedes twice versus Milan Nicolas recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss versus AC Milan.

Impact Nicolas made his seasonal debut as Adrian Semper (knee) and Nicolas Scuffet (undisclosed) were both on the mend and couldn't do much on two close-range finishes by Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Luka Modric. He hadn't started in Seri A in five years, as he spent a few seasons in the second division. He'll fill in as long as needed. Pisa will face Fiorentina away next Monday in the next round.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Scuffet - Ruled out for Milan clash Scuffet won't be available Friday due to a late muscular injury that's being evaluated, Pisa announced.

He has taken multiple shots in the last five rounds, totaling 15 (seven on target), netting a brace and creating three scoring chances in that stretch. He's also contributing defensively, as he has registered at least two clearances in each tilt over the same span, amassing 14.

Juan Cuadrado - DNP in Verona meeting Cuadrado (thigh) didn't feature in Friday's 0-0 draw with Verona.

Mehdi Leris was the only winger deployed off the bench.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Cuadrado - Available after serious injury Cuadrado (thigh) "will be called up for Friday," coach Oscar Hiljemark relayed.

Impact Cuadrado will be an option for the first time since late November, as he missed months because of consecutive thigh problems. He handled multiple roles but mostly as a super sub before getting hurt, scoring once and recording six shots (two on target), eight chances created and 18 crosses (10 accurate) in 10 appearances (two starts). His return and the acquisition of Samuel Iling-Junior could eat into Samuele Angori, Idrissa Toure, Mehdi Leris and Matteo Tramoni's minutes.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Semper - Will continue to miss time Semper (knee) "will stay out for Friday's clash against Verona," new Pisa manager Oscar Hiljemark announced.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
