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.

Impact Oristanio didn't start since he wasn't 100 percent but came off the bench early since Mirko Maric got hurt. He moved around a lot but wasn't particularly effective. 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

John Yeboah - Clears suspension Yeboah completed a one-game ban in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli.

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.

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.

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.
