JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ylber Ramadani - Out against Inter Ramadani had one key passes, two clearances and one cross (one accurate) and was booked for the fifth time in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Parma.

Kialonda Gaspar - Expelled in Parma contest Gaspar generated one tackle (one won) and nine clearances and was sent off during the stoppage time of Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Parma.

Impact Gaspar piled up stats in the back as usual, but lost his temper late in the game and kicked an opponent who was holding onto the ball. He risks a multi-game suspension due to the type of infraction and because he protested vehemently afterward. Jamil Siebert and Matias Perez are the next men up at the position.

Riccardo Sottil and Konan N'Dri will soak up his minutes.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Camarda got dinged up in training and is set for tests to ascertain the severity of the issue and the potential timetable for his return. Lecce will have two short turnarounds in a row. The gaffer would have to adapt a player to the position if something happened to Nikola Stulic.
