OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Marin Sverko - Will be sidelined against Atalanta Sverko has been ruled out for Sunday's match against Atalanta.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bjarki Bjarkason - Still distant from coming back Bjarkason (groin) "will hopefully recover in the next break," coach Eusebio Di Francesco relayed.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Good to go for Atalanta tilt Duncan (undisclosed) "is ready to play and is an important player for us," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Impact Duncan will return after sitting out three fixtures due to a muscular injury and has good chances of reclaiming his starting immediately, relegating Issa Doumbia and Mikael Egill Ellertsson to the bench. He got the nod in the first four games of the season, notching three chances created, six crosses (four accurate) and nine tackles (three won).

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Altare - Unused against Verona Altare (undisclosed) didn't play in Friday's 2-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Altare returned from a three-week absence but didn't get minutes. He'll try to unseat Micheal Svoboda or Marin Sverko in the next few matches as the coach has tested a few different defensive combinations already.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

John Yeboah - Swings in two crosses against Verona Yeboah (undisclosed) had nine touches and two crosses (zero accurate) in 17 minutes in Friday's 2-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Yeboah worked his way back after missing one game but didn't make an impact off the bench. He has mostly deputized Gaetano Pio Oristanio so far, but the two could feature together in a different scheme. He has assisted once and added one shot on target, one key pass and three crosses (one accurate) in three appearances off the bench.

OCTOBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gaetano Oristanio - Finally scores goal Oristanio scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and five chances created in Friday's 2-1 loss against Verona.

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia - Excellent in October opener Nicolussi Caviglia assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Verona.

Impact Nicolussi Caviglia's August and September performances went back and forth, so ideally, Verona's October opener is a sign of what will come from him this month. He logged his first assist of the 2024-25 Serie A to go with eight crosses and six corners, both new season highs for him by a landslide.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jesse Joronen - Concedes two, including own goal Joronen had two saves and allowed two goals, but also 2 an own goal in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Verona.

Impact Joronen has conceded two goals in both of his last appearances. But unlike the former, he logged one save and recorded an own goal during the latter, which is easily much worse.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

John Yeboah - Makes bench for Friday Yeboah (undisclosed) is in the squad for Friday's game against Verona.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Altare - Available off bench Friday Altare (undisclosed) is in the squad for Friday's game against Verona.

OCTOBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

John Yeboah - Called up for Verona bout Yeboah (undisclosed) has been included in Venezia's squad list to face Verona on Friday.

Impact Yeboah was selected for last week's game as well but ended up on the stands because he wasn't fully ready yet. He appears to be in better shape a few days later, but he's unlikely to get a lot of minutes.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Altare - Selected for Verona tilt Altare (undisclosed) made Venezia's initial squad list for Friday's game against Verona.

Impact Altare should be back after sitting out three matches due to injury, but he was a late call, so he's a long shot to make a quick return to the starting lineup. The coach is likely to deploy Antonio Candela, Jay Idzes and Michael Svoboda again in the backline.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Absent for Verona game Duncan "will hopefully return after the break," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Impact Duncan will miss his third consecutive game due to a thigh lesion and will work to return versus Atalanta. Magnus Kofod Andersen and Mikeal Egill Ellertsson have picked up the slack while he was out.
