John Yeboah - Questionable for Roma clash Yeboah "has a little problem and is a doubt for Sunday," coach Eusebio Di Francesco reported.

Alfred Duncan - Unavailable against Roma Duncan (undisclosed) "won't return versus Roma but has a shot for the following match," coach Eusebio Di Francesco informed.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia - Serves suspension Nicolussi Caviglia completed a one-game ban in Saturday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

He has logged five shots (three on target), two key passes and three crosses (two accurate) in three matches.

Marin Sverko - Questionable for Genoa match Sverko (back) "is touch and go for Saturday, and we'll assess him on game-day," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Giorgio Altare - Unavailable against Genoa Altare (undisclosed) won't be an option against Genoa on Saturday, coach Eusebio Di Francesco relayed.

Impact Altare will miss his second consecutive game and is at risk also for the following ones as his injury is reportedly substantial. Michael Svoboda and Joel Schingtienne might both start again since Marin Sverko is also iffy.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Ruled out for Genoa game Duncan will miss Saturday's clash with Genoa due to a muscular injury, coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Impact Duncan got hurt late in the week and will be better evaluated after the game. Issa Doumbia and Domen Crnigoj are the next men up in the midfield. The coach could also decide to deploy Gianluca Busio there since Hans Nicolussi Caviglia (suspension) is missing as well.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joel Schingtienne - Struggles in Serie A debut Schingtienne registered four tackles (four won), one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against AC Milan.

Impact Schingtienne was thrust into action due to Venezia's defensive absences and, while he picked up an okay amount of stats, he was overwhelmed by the opponents and caused a PK with an ill-advised tackle. His minutes in the next matches will hinge on whether Marin Sverko (back) and Giorgio Altare (undisclosed) will recover.
