Emil Audero - Available against Atalanta Audero (calf) "has recovered. We'll do a final check with the doctors tomorrow, but he'll surely be called up," coach Davide Nicola stated.

Impact Audero will return from a three-game absence after hurting his calf while warming up versus Como, but the gaffer didn't disclose whether he'll start right away or if he'll be eased into action. Marco Silvestri would continue getting the nod in the second case. He was the clear no.1 before the injury, keeping two clean sheets in four tilts, allowing three goals and making 20 saves.

Giuseppe Pezzella - Three crosses Monday Pezzella generated three crosses (one accurate) and two tackles in Monday's 1-1 draw against Udinese.

Impact Pezzella recorded three crosses in Monday's draw, his fifth match this season with three or more including his third in a row. He played fairly well on the defensive end too as he won four duels, made four clearances and won one tackle in his full 90 minutes of action.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jari Vandeputte - Assists opener Monday Vandeputte assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Udinese. In addition, he was given a yellow c...

Impact Vandeputte made his return to the starting XI Monday and immediately made an impact. He assisted Filippo Terracciano's header in the 4th minute, his third assist of the season.

Filippo Terracciano - Scores in return Terracciano scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Udinese.

Impact Terracciano, who missed the last match due to an undisclosed injury, made his return to the pitch Monday and immediately made his presence felt. He opened up the scoring in the 4th minute with a header assisted by Jari Vandeputte, his second goal of the season. On the defensive end he won two duels, intercepted one pass, made two clearances and blocked one shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Silvestri - Concedes once in draw Silvestri registered no saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw against Udinese.

Impact Silvestri made his third consecutive start Monday will Emil Audero (calf) still recovering from injury. Silvestri only faced one shot on target, but he conceded a goal on that Nicolo Zaniolo header. It seems there is a decent chance that Silvestri will start again Saturday versus Atalanta, a side which has scored 11 goals through seven matches this season.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Terracciano - Starting Monday Terracciano (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Monday's clash with Udinese.

Impact Terracciano is back in the starting XI, as expected for Monday's clash. The defender sat out a single match before the break, but it wasn't a serious concern and he's now back fit and in the starting XI. Federico Ceccherini falls to the bench in his place for Monday's match.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Terracciano - Probable for Udinese game Terracciano (undisclosed) wasn't mentioned by Davide Nicola among the players who would miss Monday's match versus Udinese.

Impact Terracciano sat out one game before the break, but avoided serious issues and has managed to recover. He has good chances of returning to the starting lineup over Federico Ceccherini. He has gotten the nod five times so far, scoring once and logging six crosses (zero accurate), five tackles (four won), six interceptions and 17 clearances, with two clean sheets.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Audero - Will miss another one Audero (calf) "will start working with us from next week, and then we'll have a more precise plan with him," coach Davide Nicola relayed.

Impact Audero will miss his third game in a row because of a calf problem that turned out to be more severe than anticipated. Marco Silvestri will continue manning the sticks in relief.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Romano Floriani Mussolini - Gets the nod versus Inter Floriani Mussolini recorded seven clearances and had four passes in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Inter Milan.

Impact Floriani Mussolini drew his first start over Alessio Zerbin after a pair of convincing cameos, but didn't get anything going on the wing and only contributed defensively. Both options will likely stay involved. He has notched one shot (zero on target), two chances created, five crosses (one accurate) and nine clearances in five appearances.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Baschirotto - Struggles versus Inter Baschirotto recorded five clearances, two blocks and one interception in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Baschirotto floundered like the rest of the Cremonese rearguard in a tough match-up. He has registered four or more clearances in the first six rounds, totaling 42, adding four interceptions and seven blocks and contributing to two clean sheets.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Bianchetti - Under pressure against Inter Bianchetti registered five tackles (three won), eight clearances and one interception in Saturday's 4-1 defeat against Inter Milan.

Impact Bianchetti filled the stat sheet as Cremonese were forced to sit back for the whole game, putting together a busy stat line and posting a new season high in tackles. He has recorded multiple clearances in every game, totaling 31 and adding 11 tackles (nine won) and six blocks, with one clean sheet.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Giuseppe Pezzella - Passable in Inter clash Pezzella registered four crosses (one accurate), five clearances, one block and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Pezzella led his team in deliveries and was active in the back as well in the rough loss. He has tallied multiple crosses in every game, accumulating 19 (five accurate) and tallying 10 tackles (five won), 21 clearances and three key passes. He has provided one assist so far.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Jari Vandeputte - Picks up assist against Inter Vandeputte assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate), one block and one corner in 45 minutes in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Vandeputte came off the bench for the second consecutive game but was inserted at halftime and set up Federico Bonazzoli with a precise feed from the left flank. It's his second helper in the campaign. He'll try to supplant Dennis Johnsen, Martin Payero or Alberto Grassi to resume being a regular. He has logged at least one key pass and one cross in every display, amassing eight and 19 (seven accurate), respectively, and posting eight corners, seven tackles (four won) and four clearances.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Bonazzoli - Scores against Inter Bonazzoli drew one foul and scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) in 33 minutes in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Bonazzoli dropped to the bench but bagged a late consolation goal with a nice finish from inside the box. It's his second in the season. His playing time has been spotty as he has to compete with several teammates, and Jamie Vardy could be a regular once fully ready to go. He has taken at least one goal in every appearance, totaling six (three on target) and adding one cross and two tackles (one won).

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Silvestri - Overwhelmed by Inter Silvestri made five saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Inter Milan.

Impact Silvestri prevented the score from getting even more out of hand with a few strong saves, but Inter created too many clear-cut chances. He's been serviceable, but Emil Audero (calf) should return on goal once healthy. He has made 10 saves and conceded five goals in two starts. Cremonese will host Udinese on October 20.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Terracciano - Will sit out Inter game Terracciano hasn't been called up for Saturday's match versus Inter due to muscular problems, Cremonese announced.

Impact Terracciano will take tests in the next few days after getting injured in training late in the week. Federico Ceccherini, Lorenzo Sernicola or Mikayil Faye will take his place in the back next to Federico Baschirotto and Matteo Bianchetti.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Audero - Ruled out for Inter clash Audero (calf) "doesn't have anything too serious but won't be available Sunday," coach Davide Nicola announced.

Impact Audero won't play for the second tilt in a row to heal from a minor calf injury and should be ready after the break. Marco Silvestri will step in again on goal.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Grassi - Logs six interceptions against Como Grassi drew two fouls and had four tackles (two won) and six interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Como.

Impact Grassi got the call for the second time in the season following Michele Collocolo's thigh injury and was a big defensive presence in the midfield. He'll be in the mix for two spots with Warren Bondo, Jari Vandeputte and Martin Payero going forward. It was his first game where he didn't record a clearance after notching eight in the previous fixtures. He's up to six tackles (four won) and one block, while he has yet to pick up offensive stats.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Franco Vazquez - Used as a sub in Como contest Vazquez created one scoring chance and registered two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in 26 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Como.

Impact Vazquez dropped to the bench after starting in two of the previous three games but provided an okay contribution relative to his minutes. His playing time might be match-up dependent. He has scored once and added three shots (all on target), two key passes, seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Romano Floriani Mussolini - Lively off the bench against Como Floriani Mussolini drew one foul and had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Como.

Impact Floriani Mussolini was inserted at halftime to provide a spark and managed to achieve such a goal. His minutes have progressively grown since the opener, and he's starting to become a real threat, especially for Alessio Zerbin. He has tallied one off-target shot, two key passes, five crosses (one accurate) and two tackels in four cameos.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Sarmiento - Plays little versus Como Sarmiento (thigh) logged just one minute in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Como.

Impact Sarmiento made just a token cameo after missing one game due to injury. He looked good in his previous cameo, but he'll need to be in better shape before being seriously in contention for a featured role. Still, the coach is using the subs a lot, so he'll get his chances.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Unused versus Como Vardy (thigh) didn't sub in during Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Como.

Impact Vardy stayed on the bench as the coaching staff erred on the side of caution, and his side settled for a draw in the second half. He'll concretely challenge Antonio Sanabria and Federico Bonazzoli only when he's close to 100 percent.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Payero - Creates one chance versus Como Payero (thigh) had one key pass, one off-target shot and one interception and drew one foul in 64 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Como.

Impact Payero got the nod after shaking off a minor injury but had mostly a quiet performance on both ends. He's likely to get an extended run with Michele Collocolo picking up a serious thigh injury. He has logged two off-target shots, one chance created, one tackle (one won) and two interceptions in three appearances (one start).

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Giuseppe Pezzella - Sends in five crosses in Como game Pezzella won one of two tackles and generated two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Como.

Impact Pezzella paced his team in deliveries and was a secondary weapon on offense throughout the game. He has launched two or more crosses in the first five rounds, totaling 15 (four accurate), assisting once and logging 10 tackles (five won) and 16 clearances, with two clean sheets.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Baschirotto - Scores against Como Baschirotto scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target), one interception and eight clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Como.

Impact Baschirotto bagged his second header of the season in addition to being rock-solid in the back against a high-wattage offense. He has tallied four or more clearances in every game so far, amassing 37, adding three interceptions and five blocks and contributing to two clean sheets.
