Impact Pavlovic risked fracturing his fibula because of a forceful collision midweek, but he got away with a contusion.

Dealing with serious bruise Pavlovic has developed a major hematoma around his left fibula but avoided a fracture, Sky Italy reported.

On bench to face Cagliari Pavlovic (illness) is on the bench in Friday's meeting with Cagliari.

Impact Pavlovic dealt with an ailment during the week and is not ready to see action from kickoff, ending a run of 16 Serie A starts for him. He should eventually bounce back to his usual spot, looking to make an impact through aerial strength. Wing-back Davide Bartesaghi is apparently moving to a central position, with Pervis Estupinan added to the lineup in the Serbian's absence.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Cagliari clash Pavlovic "is under the weather and will need to be assessed ahead of Friday's game," coach Massimiliano Allegri relayed.

Matteo Gabbia (knee) is back in the fold in the same role, but the gaffer stated he would start on the bench. Pervis Estupinan would likely step in if Pavlovic couldn't go, and Davide Bartesaghi would move from the flank to the rearguard. David Odogu is also potentially an option.
