Cheikh Niasse - Creates three chances against Sassuolo Niasse generated two crosses (one accurate), three interceptions and three key passes and won one tackle in Friday's 3-0 loss to Sassuolo.

Impact Niasse was a bigger part of the offense than usual as Verona were depleted in the midfield and set a new season high in chances created, but his teammates didn't capitalize. He'll likely continue to start a while longer, considering the laundry list of injuries in his role. He has recorded three crosses (one accurate), four interceptions and two tackles (both won) in his last five appearances (three starts).

Abdou Harroui - Wins two tackles in Sassuolo bout Harroui had one shot (zero on goal), two tackles (two won) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 3-0 defeat versus Sassuolo.

Impact Harroui is getting consistent minutes thanks to several absences in the midfield, but wasn't as effective in the final third as in previous instances in this one. He has scored once and added three shots (one on target), six key passes and six crosses (three accurate) in his last six outings (three starts).

Amin Sarr - Fires four shots against Sassuolo Sarr registered four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo.

Impact Sarr filled in for Gift Orban (suspension) and posted a new season high in attempts, pacing his outfit, but he was never truly dangerous. His teammate will also miss the Napoli clash. Sarr has yet to score in the season and has tallied one assist, nine shots (two on target) and three chances created in his last six showings (five starts).

Domagoj Bradaric - Steps up in Sassuolo contest Bradaric created four scoring chances and registered one shot (zero on goal), 13 crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Friday's 3-0 loss against Sassuolo.

Impact Bradaric adapted to the right wing to replace Rafik Belghali (ankle) and Pol Lirola (undisclosed) and was the main source of offense for his side, leading it in two categories and posting new season highs in crosses and key passes, but with no end product. He has had at least one delivery in 13 appearances on the trot, accumulating 49 (11 accurate) and adding 14 key passes and 13 tackles (five won) over that span, with no goal contributions.

Tomas Suslov - Subs in late against Sassuolo Suslov (knee) had two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners and committed one foul in eight minutes in Friday's 3-0 loss to Sassuolo.

Impact Suslov took a couple of corner kicks in his first appearance of the season after recovering from a major knee injury. He'll look to gradually increase his minutes while he works his way back to full fitness, and Verona navigate several injury concerns at the position.

Jean Akpa - Serves disqualification Akpa Akpro completed a one-game ban in Friday's 3-0 defeat against Sassuolo.

Impact Akpa Akpro will be available against Napoli next Saturday and will have good chances of starting since Al-Musrati will be suspended and Antoine Bernede (ankle), Sandi Lovric (undisclosed) and Roberto Gagliardini (ribs) are all banged up, while Suat Serdar (knee) is out for the season. Akpa Akpro has registered five chances created, 19 tackles (14 won) and eight interceptions in his last five appearances (four starts), missing a lot of time due to an ankle problem midway through the season.

Lorenzo Montipo - Allows three goals versus Sassuolo Montipo made one save, denied a PK and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-0 loss against Sassuolo.

Impact Montipo had his only save on a spot-kick by Domenico Berardi, who tucked home on the rebound, while he could do little on the other two goals. He has kept one clean sheet in three fixtures since resuming starting, making nine saves and surrendering five goals. Up next, Verona will host Napoli next Saturday.
