Gianluca Gaetano - Passable display versus Napoli Gaetano took one shot (zero on target) and had one interception, two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 1-0 loss to Napoli.

Impact Gaetano was able to log full minutes in his second game back from a thigh injury and, while he didn't rack up stats, he did a little bit of everything on both ends. He'll be the anchor of the midfield as long as he stays healthy, even though the returns of Alessandro Deiola and Luca Mazzitelli could impact his minutes a little. He has notched at least one cross in his last three appearances, totaling eight (four accurate) and adding two chances created, two off-target shots and five corners during that stretch. Additionally, he has posted one or more tackles in six performances in a row, piling up eight (seven won).

Yerry Mina - Puts up numbers in Napoli game Mina won one of two tackles and registered four blocks, five clearances and three interceptions in Friday's 1-0 defeat against Napoli.

Impact Mina looked completely healthy, played the whole game and had his busiest display in a while, but it wasn't enough to completely stymie the opponents, who hit the net very early. He has logged at least one interception in his last three outings, accumulating five and notching three tackles (one won), six clearances and four blocks over that span, with no clean sheets.

Marco Palestra - Held in check in Napoli contest Palestra drew three fouls and registered four crosses (one accurate) and one tackle (one won) in Friday's 1-0 loss to Napoli.

Impact Palestra launched his usual number of crosses, but his powerful runs were often halted early, and he didn't create a chance, ending a three-game string in that regard. He has posted at least one delivery in 15 consecutive tilts, amassing 60 (13 accurate) and adding 12 shots (two on target), 13 chances created and 20 tackles (11 won) during that stretch, with one goal and one assist.

Alberto Dossena - Suspended for Sassuolo bout Dossena had one tackle (one won), eight clearances and one interception and picked up his fifth yellow card in Friday's 1-0 loss versus Napoli.

Impact Dossena had a quality display in the back, setting a new season high in clearances, but his side allowed an early goal, and he will be unavailable for April 4's game versus Sassuolo due to yellow card accumulation. Juan Rodriguez could move from the wing to the center of the defense in a fortnight since Adam Obert will return from suspension. Alternatively, the coach could turn to Gabriele Zappa at the position.

He has taken at least one shot in his last four outings, amassing eight attempts (two on target) and scoring and assisting once over that span. Moreover, he has sent in one or more crosses in five appearances on the trot, piling up 23 deliveries (seven accurate). On the other hand, he snapped an 11-game streak with at least one chance created in this one.
