Liberato Cacace - Fairly active against Cagliari Cacace won one of one tackle and registered one shot (one on goal), two interceptions and four crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Cagliari.

Impact Cacace starred as a no.10 for the third time in the last four matches, filling in for Jacopo Fazzini (suspension), and while he was a big part of the offense, his decision-making and technique were lacking in a pair of dangerous actions. He has registered three key passes, 20 crosses (four accurate), 15 clearances and nine interceptions in the last five games.

Liam Henderson - Decent in Cagliari game Henderson recorded two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (zero accurate), five clearances and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Cagliari.

Impact Henderson continues to benefit from multiple absences in the midfield to log heavy minutes and was pretty good on both ends again. He has posted five shots (one on target), 16 crosses (one accurate), six tackles (one won) and six clearances in the last five contests.
