Impact Yeboah delivered off the bench, taking advantage of a blunder by the referee to tuck it in the empty net on a corner kick for his first goal since moving to Serie A. He has started just once in the past eight matches, but he has been more effective than his main competitor, Gaetano Pio Oristanio, which should allow him to see more minutes down the stretch.

Impact Busio started the game in a more offensive role than usual, but his offensive output didn't benefit from it, but he leveled the match late with a tap-in after returning to his usual midfield role. It's his second goal of the season, and the first one dated back to September. He'll compete with Gaetano Pio Oristanio and John Yeboah if the coach wants to keep using him in the new position. He has registered six key passes, seven tackles (five won), seven interceptions and 11 clearances in the last five fixtures.

Joel Schingtienne - Subs in versus Empoli Schingtienne registered one tackle (zero won) and one clearance in 28 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Empoli.

Impact Schingtienne was deployed in the second half in his return from a muscular injury. He could quickly resume being a regular over Alessandro Marcandalli, who hasn't been superb in relief. Marin Sverko and Ridgeciano Haps are also in the mix at the position. He has registered eight tackles (five won), four interceptions, 10 clearances and two blocks in his last five showings, contributing to one clean sheet.

APRIL 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Allows two goals versus EMpoli Radu made two saves and two clearances and conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Empoli.

He has kept two clean sheets in the last five matches, giving up four goals. He has made three or more saves in nine of his last ten showings.

APRIL 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joel Schingtienne - Selected for Empoli bout Schingtienne (undisclosed) made Venezia's squad list to face Empoli on Sunday.

Gianluca Busio - Works hard in Monza bout Busio drew four fouls and registered three tackles (two won), one clearance and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Monza.

He has logged two shots (zero on target), five key passes, seven tackles (six won) and 11 clearances in his last five outings (four starts).

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - DNP in Monza fixture Duncan (undisclosed) didn't sub in during Saturday's 1-0 win over Monza.

Impact Duncan was back with the squad after a one-game absence, but several other midfielders were deployed over him as he wasn't totally ready yet. He should reprise a regular role over Gianluca Busio once close to full health.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mirko Maric - Unused versus Monza Maric (ankle) didn't play in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Monza.

Impact Maric didn't get minutes in his return, as Christian Gytkjaer and Daniel Fila split duties as the center-forward in this one. The latter scored but was red-carded, so he'll have better chances of playing against Empoli next Sunday.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia - Active in Monza match Nicolussi Caviglia recorded four shots (two on goal), three interceptions, three clerances and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 win over Monza.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Fila - Scores and sees red in Monza tilt Fila scored one goal to go with one shot and was cautioned twice in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Monza.

Impact Fila decided the game with his first Serie A goal, punching in a square ball with a slide, but committed two bookable offenses later on and will have to miss next Sunday's away game versus Empoli. Christian Gytkjaer and Mirko Maric will be the only options in his role.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mirko Maric - Fit for bench spot Maric (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Monza.

Impact Maric has returned Saturday, with the forward linking up with the team for a spot on the bench. He did start in the four games before his injury, so he will look to see that spot back soon, starting in four of his six appearances since joining the club.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Listed to bench Duncan (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Monza.

Impact Duncan is back with the team after missing their last contest, with the midfielder fit enough to see a spot on the bench against Monza. This is good news for the midfielder, as it was a short injury spell after already missing two solid chunks of time this season through injury. He has started in 12 of his 15 appearances and will look to bid for starting time again after testing his legs.
