Hassane Kamara - Suspended for Napoli tilt Kamara had seven crosses (one accurate), one key pass and three clearances and was booked for the fifth time in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Cremonese.

Impact Kamara had good volume but not much precision in this one. He will skip the season finale because of yellow-card accumulation. Kingsley Ehizibue will be back from suspension in the next game, allowing Juan Arizala and Jordan Zemura to move to the left wing. Kamara finishes up with two assists, 23 chances created and 82 crosses (17 accurate) in 26 appearances (22 starts) and was the go-to-guy in his role when healthy.

Branimir Mlacic - Available off bench Sunday Mlacic (hip) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Cremonese.

Impact Mlacic has been included in the squad despite the interrupted week of training that had left him as a late call for the weekend, with the coaching staff keeping him among the substitutes in line with his usual standing as a fringe part of the rotation. The defender had gotten the call last week due to Christian Kabasele's suspension and Nicola Bertola not being at 100 percent, but having avoided a long-term injury, a bench role represents the most prudent approach given the hip issue that has prevented him from having a clean week of preparation. His return to fuller involvement is expected once the hip problem has fully settled in the coming fixtures.

Branimir Mlacic - Iffy for Cremonese tilt Mlacic (hip) is a late call for Sunday's game versus Cremonese, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Mlacic has avoided a long-term injury but hasn't had a clean week of training and risks missing this one. He got the call last week because Christian Kabasele was disqualified and Nicolo Bertola wasn't 100 percent. He's usually a fringe part of the rotation.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Suffers back injury Zaniolo will miss the last two matches of the season because of a back problem, Udinese announced.

Impact Zaniolo isn't dealing with anything too serious, but won't be able to participate in the final two contests versus Cremonese and Napoli. He closes a bounce-back campaign with five goals and six assists in 32 appearances and is widely expected to be bought out by Udinese following multiple loan spells. Keinan Davis, Adam Buksa, Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo will play in the two-man frontline sans him.

Impact Ehizibue only contributed defensively in this one, extending his streak of outings with at least one tackle and one clearance, and won't be an option next Sunday due to yellow-card accumulation. Nicolo Bertola, Oier Zarraga and Juan Arizala will be options to replace him on the right flank.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Routine showing against Cagliari Zaniolo created one scoring chance and registered one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Cagliari.

He has sent in multiple crosses in the last 12 rounds, totaling 58 deliveries (16 accurate) and adding 27 corners and 23 key passes over that span. Additionally, he has fired at least one shot in the last eight fixtures, racking up 20 attempts (seven on target) and assisting twice during that stretch.

Christian Kabasele will be back from suspension in the next round and has been a stalwart in recent months. Bertola has registered three tackles (two won), four interceptions and 15 clearances in his last five appearances (one start), with no clean sheets.

Jesper Karlstrom - Defensive force in Cagliari tilt Karlstrom (thigh) had one tackle (one won), three blocks and seven clearances and drew two fouls in Saturday's 2-0 win over Cagliari.

He has tallied at least one tackle in his last six displays, accumulating eight (six won) and posting eight interceptions, three chances created and six blocks over that span. Additionally, this marked his ninth consecutive outing with one or more clearances (26 total). Instead, he interrupted a three-game string with one shot.

It's his second assist of the season. He has created at least one chance in six consecutive matches, piling up nine key passes and adding six tackles (all won) and three interceptions during that stretch. Furthermore, this marked his third straight match with multiple clearances (seven total). On the other hand, he snapped a seven-game streak with multiple crosses.

Keinan Davis - Dishes out assist versus Cagliari Davis (thigh) assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in 25 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Cagliari.

Impact Davis had a good stint off the bench, wriggling free on a late counter and perfectly setting up Idrissa Gueye in the box. He'll likely start over Adam Buksa against Cremonese next Sunday if he has a clean week of training. He has fired at least one shot in his three outings in a row, amassing five attempts (all on target), scoring once. Additionally, this marked his sixth straight display with at least one chance created (seven total).

It's his third goal of the year. He has notched one shot in each of the last three rounds (two accurate), adding three chances created and one clearance. Instead, he snapped a three-match streak with at least one tackle.

He has been playing more lately due to Daivis and Nicolo Zaniolo's physical problems, but both starters are healthy at the moment. He has fired at least one shot in six consecutive appearances (one stat), totaling 11 attempts (four on target) and posting three key passes, two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (two won) over that span.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Mlacic filled in for Christian Kabasele (suspension) and had a fine performance, but crashed into the post on a goal-line clearance and was unable to continue. He'll be examined ahead of next Sunday's home game versus Cremonese. Nicolo Bertola is also usually ahead of him in the depth chart.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Zemura - Unused sub in Cagliari fixture Zemura (thigh) didn't feature in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Cagliari.

Impact Zemura returned from an extended absence, but Hassane Kamara and Juan Arizala got minutes over him on the left wing.

He has sent in multiple crosses in his last three displays, accumulating seven deliveries (two accurate) and notching 11 tackles (seven won), four key passes and two clearances during that stretch.
