Giuseppe Pezzella - Active display in Milan meeting Pezzella won four of four tackles and had 10 crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus AC Milan.

Impact Pezzella led his side in crosses along with Jari Vandeputte, but he wasn't super precise, and he also posted a new season high in tackles. He has recorded at least one in three consecutive contests, accumulating eight (six won) and logging four key passes, three corners and three clearances in that span. He has swung in at least one delivery in every game so far and is averaging 4 per match (1.1 accurate).

Jari Vandeputte - Productive showing against Milan Vandeputte created six scoring chances and recorded one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Vandeputte got the nod after not playing for a month and pulled the strings in the final third, leading his side in key passes and co-pacing it in deliveries. He had seemingly been supplanted by Morten Thorsby, Youssef Maleh and Martin Payero, who wasn't entirely fit, before this game. He set a new season high in chances created and has had at least one in all but one fixture, averaging 1.9 per match. He has sent in double-digit crosses in three straight appearances, amassing 31 (five accurate) and adding 14 corners and two shots over that span.

Filippo Terracciano - Will sit out Lecce game Terracciano had seven passes, committed one foul and picked up his fifth yellow card in 24 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Milan.

Impact Terracciano was initially spared perhaps to avoid a suspension, but he got booked anyway and will be unavailable for Sunday's away contest versus Lazio. The coach could roll with the same defense used in this one, with Matteo Bianchetti and Francesco Folino replacing Terracciano and Federico Baschirotto (undisclosed) and Federico Ceccherini and Mikayil Faye as the top deputies.

Romano Floriani Mussolini - DNP in Milan fixture Floriani Mussolini (undisclosed) didn't get minutes in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Milan.

Impact Floriani Mussolini returned to the bench after a brief absence but wasn't deployed, as Alessio Zerbin, Giuseppe Pezzella and Tommaso Barbieri are currently ahead of him in the depth chart on the flanks. He had made a cameo in five of the previous six tilts.

Martin Payero - Unused sub Sunday Payero (knee) didn't play in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Milan.

Impact Payero was fit enough to be an option but wasn't fielded a few days after hurting his knee, and Jari Vandeputte was fine in relief. He'll look to get completely healthy ahead of Sunday's away game versus Lecce. Warren Bondo and Alberto Grassi are also in contention in the role.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Federico Bonazzoli - Fairly lively in Milan match Bonazzoli recorded four shots (zero on goal), one tackle (one won) and two interceptions and drew five fouls in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against AC Milan.

Impact Bonazzoli was slippery and a big part of the offense and just missed the mark on a pair of efforts. He hasn't found the target in 13 rounds despite his consistent playing time and generally sound volume. He has taken at least one shot in three games in a row, totaling 10 attempts (one on target) and posting four tackles (two won) and four interceptions in that stretch. He'll have to start producing to fend off Milan Djuric.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Fires five attempts versus Milan Vardy registered five shots (one on goal), two clearances and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 loss against AC Milan.

Impact Vardy was more active in the final third than in recent matches and posted a new season high in shots, but he was truly dangerous just once. He hasn't hit the net in eight fixtures and has notched 10 shots (three on target), seven chances created and five crosses (zero accurate) in that stretch. He's starting to cede minutes to Milan Djuric and Antonio Sanabria.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Emil Audero - Beaten twice in Milan clash Audero recorded four saves and one clearance and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus AC Milan.

Impact Audero had multiple good interventions but caved in the stoppage time because of two attempts from close range. He has secured just one clean sheet in the last five contests, making 27 saves and surrendering 10 goals over that span. Up next, Cremonese will face Lecce away Sunday.

Martin Payero - Available against Milan Payero (knee) has been called up for Sunday's contest versus Milan.

Impact Payero won't miss time after tweaking his knee last week, but it remains to be seen whether he's fit enough to keep starting or if the coach will turn to Warren Bondo or Jari Vandeputte and manage his minutes. Payero has sent in at least one cross in three games in a row, amassing seven deliveries (three accurate) and adding three chances created, five corners and two off-target shots during that span.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Romano Floriani Mussolini - Selected for Milan match Floriani Mussolini (thigh) will be available for Sunday's game versus Milan.

Impact Floriani Mussolini will return after skipping one fixture because of a muscular ailment and will provide depth on both flanks as he's done in the last couple of months, starting once in his last six appearances and recording two chances created, four crosses (zero accurate) and seven tackles (four won).

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Federico Baschirotto - Will miss more time Baschirotto "will sit out Sunday's match versus Milan and most likely further fixtures," coach Davide Nicola announced.

Impact Baschirotto will skip multiple contests because of an unspecified muscular injury. Francesco Folino got the nod in relief last week, and the coach hinted he earned another start over Matteo Bianchetti and Federico Ceccherini in the back.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Sebastiano Luperto - Under pressure in defeat Luperto registered 10 clearances in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Roma.

Impact Luperto's 10 clearances Sunday led the Cremonese defensive effort in their 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Roma. The clearances match a season-high for the central defender who has made exactly 10 clearances in three of his last six Serie A appearances (six starts). Since moving from Cagliari to Cremonese during the January transfer window, Luperto has played the full 90 minutes in three successive fixtures.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Giuseppe Pezzella - Five crosses in loss Pezzella generated five crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Pezzella attempted a team-high five crosses (zero accurate) Sunday as Cremonese limped to a 3-0 defeat at Roma. The performance snaps the wide-midfielder's streak of five successive appearances (five starts) with at least one accurate cross. Over his last five appearances (five starts), Pezella has created 10 chances from 34 crosses (11 accurate) while playing the full 90 minutes three times.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Audero - Concedes three times in loss Audero made two saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat versus Roma.

Impact Audero conceded twice from set plays and once from open play Sunday as Cremonese were outclassed in a 3-0 defeat at Roma. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has averaged 4.6 saves and 0.4 clearances per appearance while conceding 1.6 goals per appearance and recording one clean sheet. Audero's next challenge is likely to come Sunday when Cremonese hosts second place AC Milan.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Ceccherini - DNP in Roma clash Ceccherini (undisclosed) was an unused sub in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Ceccherini was available after a minor injury but stayed on the bench, as Francesco Folino, Filippo Terracciano, Sebastiano Luperto and Mikayil Faye got some action over him. He'll be in the mix to replace Federico Baschirotto (undisclosed) once he's in better shape.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Mikayil Faye - Comes off the bench versus Roma Faye (face) had one inaccurate cross, one interception and one clearance in 16 minutes in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Roma.

Impact Faye saw some action in the second half, contributing a little on the defensive end. All Cremonese defenders could be bumped up since Federico Baschirotto (undisclosed) is expected to miss multiple matches, but Faye is unlikely to become a starter. He has posted two crosses (zero accurate), one interception and one clearance in his last three cameos.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Bondo - Modest output versus Roma Bondo (thigh) had 23 passes, one interception and one clearance in 41 minutes in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Bondo was the first midfielder off the bench after sitting out four tilts but only picked up a small amount of defensive starts. He'll likely be the next man up if Martin Payero (knee) misses time. He has tallied at least one interception in three straight appearances, totaling four and adding one inaccurate cross, one tackle (one won) and two clearances in that span.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Payero - Forced off versus Roma Payero had one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in 49 minutes in Sunday's game against Roma before exiting due to a knee injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Payero tweaked the joint late in the first half and tried to give it a go after intermission, but wasn't running fluidly and bowed out. He's set for tests before next Sunday's home game versus Milan. Warren Bondo was chosen over Jari Vandeputte and Alberto Grassi to substitute for him in this one.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Bondo - Bench option Bondo (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Roma.

Impact Bondo is back with his team as expected, limited to a bench spot as he is only available for around half an hour of play. That said, he will need to continue to build up fitness through a few short appearances before returning to his starting role, starting in 18 of his 21 appearances.

Faris Moumbagna - Suffers mild injury Moumbagna won't be involved in Sunday's game against Roma due to muscle fatigue, Cremonese informed.

Impact Moumbagna got hurt in training and will be sidelined for at least one fixture. He has appeared just five times this season, as he's the fifth option up front behind Jamie Vardy, Federico Bonazzoli, Milan Djuric and Antonio Sanabria.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Romano Floriani Mussolini - Ruled out for Roma fixture Floriani Mussolini hasn't been selected for Sunday's clash against Roma because of muscle fatigue, Cremonese relayed.

Impact Floriani Mussolini picked up an ailment in training and will try to recover for next Sunday's match versus Milan. He has mostly operated as a super-sub. Giuseppe Pezzella, Tommaso Barbieri and Alessio Zerbin will be the top options on the wings without him.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Baschirotto - Absent versus Roma Baschirotto hasn't been called up for Sunday's match against Roma due to a muscular problem that will be evaluated in the next few days, Cremonese announced.

Impact Baschirotto will miss his first match of the season after getting hurt in the final practice of the week and is also at risk for the ensuing rounds. Matteo Bianchetti, Francesco Folino or Federico Ceccherini will replace him in the back.
