Alfred Duncan - Will skip Lecce fixture Duncan (undisclosed) hasn't been selected for Sunday's game versus Lecce.

Impact Duncan played a handful of minutes in the past game but hasn't fully recovered from a minor injury and will be spared in this one after training on the side during the week. With Hans Nicolussi Caviglia back from suspension, only one between Issa Doumbia and Gianluca Busio will likely start in the midfield.

Joel Schingtienne - Doubtful for Lecce game Schingtienne "is likely to be sidelined for Sunday but will go through a final fitness test," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Impact Schingtienne picked up an injury in training and is on the wrong side of questionable. He might not be risked even if available. Alessandro Marcandalli and the returning Marin Sverko (undisclosed) are the next men up at this position.

Marin Sverko - Good to go for Lecce game Sverko (undisclosed) "will be available Saturday as he has trained with us for most of the week," coach Eusebio Di Francesco stated.

Impact Sverko will be an option after missing the last four matches and eight of the past 10 due to multiple injuries but is likely to be eased into action given the situation, although Venezia might not have Joel Schingtienne (undisclosed). He was a regular when fit earlier in the season. He has notched nine tackles (three won), six interceptions, 19 clearances and two blocks in his last five showings.

Gaetano Oristanio - Underwhelming against Bologna Oristanio drew one foul and had one cross (zero accurate) and nine touches in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bologna.

Impact Oristanio was often left stranded like his partner Daniel Fila and didn't get anything going against a quality opponent. He hasn't made his presence felt in months at this point, although his minutes have remained steady. His main competitor John Yeboah has been a little more dynamic but also quite wasteful. He has recorded four shots (one on target), one chance created, four crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (all won) in the last five bouts.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jay Idzes - Puts up numbers against Bologna Idzes had three tackles (zero won), two interceptions, five clearances and three blocks in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Idzes turned in another good shift and racked up stats, but it didn't suffice to completely shut down the opponents in this one. He has contributed to three clean sheets in the last five contests, registering 10 tackles (four won), seven interceptions, 25 clearances and five blocks.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kike Perez - Solid in Bologna bout Perez won one of one tackle and registered one shot (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bologna.

Impact Perez did a little bit of everything in both phases and put together a complete stat-line in the tight loss. He has totaled seven chances created, 19 crosses (there accurate), 18 tackles (nine won) and 15 corners in the last five matches.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Zerbin - Pretty good in Bologna game Zerbin drew four fouls and recorded two shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bologna.

Impact Zerbin was one of the most energetic men for his side, as it has often happened in recent weeks, leading it in key passes and deliveries, although not with great touch. He was brilliantly denied by Lukas Skorupski on a seemingly surefire effort. He has rarely contributed to a goal since joining but has been productive otherwise, posting eight shots (three on target), eight chances created, 22 crosses (seven accurate) and 19 tackles (11 won) in the last five contests.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia - Eligible to face Lecce Nicolussi Caviglia cleared a one-game disqualification in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Lecce.

Impact Nicolussi Caviglia will return against Lecce next Sunday and substitute either Gianluca Busio or Issa Doumbia in the XI, also hinging on Alfred Duncan's fitness. He has registered six shots (two on target), three chances created, five tackles (four won) and eight clearances in his last five displays.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Subs in late against Bologna Duncan (undisclosed) played just one minute in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact Duncan was available despite a late injury but was deployed only late to avoid risks, with Issa Doumbia replacing him in the XI. He'll look to get healthier heading into next Sunday's match versus Lecce.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Beaten once by Bologna Radu had three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Bologna.

Impact Radu was under less pressure than in previous fixtures, as his defense did a nice job overall, but he still conceded due to a gem by Riccardo Orsolini. He has blanked the opponents thrice in the last five matches, making 23 saves and giving up two goals. Venezia will face Lecce away next Sunday.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Bench option Duncan (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Bologna.

Impact Duncan has made the call for Saturday after being called up Friday, earning a spot on the bench. He did start in the club's two previous matches and will hope to see that spot back soon now that he is fit, starting in 12 of his 14 appearances this campaign.

MARCH 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Called up for Bologna clash Duncan (undisclosed) made the initial squad list for Saturday's match versus Bologna.

Impact Duncan hasn't been ruled out in advance and will go through a final fitness test on game day to determine whether he's healthy enough to start. He has registered three shots (one on target), four key passes, one cross (one accurate) and three tackles (all won) in the last three rounds.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alfred Duncan - Questionable for Bologna tilt Duncan "needs to be assessed due to a late physical problem," coach Eusebio Di Francesco stated.

Impact Duncan started twice in a row before the break after an extended absence but picked up a new issue in training and risks falling out of the XI or the game-day squad list altogether. Since Hans Nicolussi is suspended, Gianluca Busio and Issa Doumbia might both get the nod.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marin Sverko - Still sidelined Sverko (undisclosed) "will be absent Saturday, and we hope he'll be back fairly soon," coach Eusebio Di Francesco stated.

Impact Sverko will miss his fourth straight game against Bologna and last featured in mid-January due to multiple injuries. Joel Schingtienne has soaked up most of his minutes next to Jay Idzes and Fali Cande, while Alessandro Marcandalli and Ridgeciano Haps are the top deputies in the role.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mirko Maric - Will miss time Maric (ankle) "hasn't recovered and will skip two or three games," coach Eusebio Di Francesco announced.

Impact Maric sprained his ankle before the break and will be unavailable for multiple fixtures. Daniel Fila, Christian Gytkjaer and John Yeboah will enjoy an uptick in minutes while he's on the mend.

Richie Sagrado - DNP against Napoli Sagrado (thigh) was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Napoli.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gaetano Oristanio - Takes two shots against Napoli Oristanio (illness) had two shots (zero on target) and one tackle (one won) and drew three fouls in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli.

He hasn't contributed to a goal in 12 matches. He has logged five shots (two on target), one key pass, four crosses (one accurate) and three tackles (all won) in the last five rounds.

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

MARCH 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fali Cande - Excels defensively Cande registered two tackles (two won), eight clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Napoli. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 43rd minute.

The team maintained three clean sheets, and he himself excelled in various defensive categories. In total across the four appearances, Cande logged 25 clearances, seven tackles won and five interceptions.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kike Perez - Inaccurate from flank Perez generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Recently, Perez has had a tough time being accurate from the flank. Venezia's last three games saw him attempt nine crosses, all of them inaccurate. In terms of offense-based accuracy, Perez's lone saving grace was his shot on goal against Napoli.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia - Attempts four shots Nicolussi Caviglia recorded four shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Napoli. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minute.

Impact After zero shots across Venezia's previous three games, Nicolussi Caviglia significantly upped his shot tally, the midfielder's highest since Dec. 8. He also scored then and has not since, so the international break ideally serves as some meaningful time for him to regroup.

MARCH 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ionut Radu - Logs seven-save clean sheet Radu registered seven saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Napoli.

Impact Radu's form was high before the Venezia-Napoli game, and the form has somehow gone even higher. He updated his season high in saves and has three clean sheets across Venezia's last four games. They saw him concede only one goal and log a 95.2 save percentage.
