Daniel Mosquera - Will skip Udinese meeting Mosquera won't be involved Monday because of a muscular injury, Verona announced.

Impact Mosquera will take the tests in the coming days to evaluate the seriousness of the injury and determine his timetable. Amin Sarr, Gift Orban and Isaac will split minutes up front since Giovane recently left the club.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Valentini - Ruled out for Udinese fixture Valentini (undisclosed) hasn't been selected for Monday's clash with Udinese.

Impact Valentini will skip the second contest in a row because of a muscular injury. Enzo Ebosse and Tobias Slotsager will likely get the nod again since Armel Bella-Kotchap (thigh) and Unai Nunez (not-injury-related) are also unavailable.

Rafik Belghali - Will miss more time Belghali (ankle) hurt his ligaments and will be sidelined for at least two more weeks, TeleNuovo reported.

Impact Belghali sprained his ankle after coming back from AFCON and will be unavailable for a while longer. Pol Lirola got the call right after joining and should remain at the top of the depth chart over Fallou Cham and Daniel Oyegoke on the right flank.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Akpa - Recovering from significant injury Akpa Akpro has been nursing a tibial microfracture and will miss at least another month, TeleNuovo reported.

Impact Akpa Akpro has been absent since late November and will need more time to shake off a serious physical problem. He was a rotational piece in the midfield before getting hurt. Suat Serdar and Cheikh Niasse have absorbed his minutes for the most part.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Perilli - Keeps clean sheet in season debut Perilli made one save and kept a clean sheet during Monday's scoreless draw against Cremonese.

Impact Perilli made his season debut with usual starter Lorenzo Montipo getting benched and delivered the clean sheet with a calm, composed outing, showing he can manage low-event matches without drama. For fantasy, he remains a volatile option tied entirely to selection whims, but performances like this at least confirm he is a capable plug-in when called upon.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Tobias Slotsager - Busy in first Serie A start Slotsager had one off-target shot, made nine clearances and one interception and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Monday's scoreless draw against Cremonese.

Impact Slotsager handled his first Serie A start with real maturity, staying busy throughout and showing the poise you want from a young center-back thrust into a physical match. His heavy defensive involvement fits a profile that can offer a workable peripheral floor when Verona are absorbing pressure. With two straight appearances and clear trust from the staff, he is creeping onto the fantasy radar, though still more of a deep-league watchlist play until his role stabilizes.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Nelsson - Logs 10 clearances in draw Nelsson had one off-target shot, made 10 clearances, four interceptions and one block and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Monday's scoreless draw against Cremonese.

Impact Nelsson had another great performance to his account, dominating opposing forwards as usual and adding to his gaudy season stats as he keeps leading all Serie A players in both clearances and interceptions while also being among the top 10 in blocks so he's a must-have fantasy asset right now.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Nunez - Will return against Udinese Nunez cleared a one-game ban in Monday's 0-0 draw against Cremonese.

Impact Nunez will be eligible to face Udinese on Monday and will replace either Tobias Slotsager or Enzo Ebosse, who filled in while he, Armel Bella-Kotchap (thigh) and Nahuel Valentini (undisclosed) were sidelined. Nunez has notched one or more clearances in eight consecutive outings, amassing 32 and adding 11 tackles (nine won), 12 interceptions and eight blocks, with no clean sheets.

Impact Valentini got hurt in training and is undergoing evaluations to determine the timetable for his return. Tobias Slotsager, Daniel Oyegoke and Pol Lirola are the next men up since Unai Nunez (suspension), Armel Bella-Kotchap (thigh) and Martin Frese (undisclosed) are unavailable as well.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Rafik Belghali - Absent for Cremonese game Belghali (ankle) hasn't been called up for Monday's match versus Cremonese.

Impact Belghali will miss the second match as he injured his ankle right after returning from international duties. Cheikh Niasse, Fallou Cham or newcomer Pol Lirola will handle the right wing in this one.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Pol Lirola - Joins Verona Lirola has agreed to a six-month contract with Verona after departing Olympique Marseille on a free transfer.

Impact Lirola made just three appearances off the bench so far, notching two crosses (zero accurate), one key pass and one interception. He previously played at Frosinone, Fiorentina and Sassuolo in Serie A. He'll be an option on both flanks and could be fielded right away since Rafik Belghani (ankle) and Martin Frese (undisclosed) are banged up.

Armel Bella-Kotchap - Will miss some time Bella-Kotchap (undisclosed) "will likely be sidelined for three weeks," coach Paolo Zanetti announced.

Impact Bella-Kotchip is nursing a substantial muscular problem, although the team and the gaffer didn't disclose in which area. Victor Nelsson, Nicolas Valentini and Tobias Slotsager will play more than usual while he's on the mend.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Nunez - Will skip Cremonese match Nunez drew one foul, had one clearance and was booked for the fifth time in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Cremonese.

Impact Nunez had a lackluster showing like the rest of the Verona defense and will be ineligible to play against Cremonese on Monday due to yellow-card accumulation. If Martin Frese (undisclosed) doesn't return, Tobias Slotsager will fill in, as Armen Bella-Kotchap is set to miss multiple games.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Domagoj Bradaric - Service machine Bradaric recorded one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 3-2 defeat versus Bologna.

Impact The midfielder was strong in providing service, though he likely would've done better had he been more accurate. If he can manage that, he'll have better numbers against Cremonese on Monday. The side has allowed 28 goals in 20 domestic matches this season.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Bernede - Logs assist Bernede assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Thursday's 3-2 loss against Bologna.

Impact Bernede didn't provide much service but rewarded with an assist on one of the two chances he did create. He should do better Monday against a softer Cremonese defense, which has allowed 28 goals in 20 matches.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Gift Orban - Scores in loss Orban scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) in Thursday's 3-2 defeat against Bologna.

Impact Orban remains Verona's biggest offensive threat and found the back of the net again on Thursday. He has a good chance to score again Monday against Cremonese, a side which has allowed 28 goals in 20 Serie A matches.
