Cyril Ngonge - Late scratch against Verona Ngonge was absent in Sunday's 3-0 win against Verona because of the flu, Sky Italy relayed.

Impact Ngonge wasn't involved because he was sick and will try to shake it off in time for Wednesday's contest with Udinese. He's usually the third or fourth option up front. Duvan Zapata and Alieu Njie picked up the slack, and the latter had a strong showing off the bench.
