Jose Luis Palomino - Scores in both nets in Inter game Palomino scored one goal, won eight duels, had two interceptions and was saddled with an own goal in Sunday's 2-3 loss versus Inter Milan.

Impact Palomino had an eventful seasonal debut following a doping-related suspension, as he filled in for Rafael Toloi at the last minute. He had trouble containing Edin Dzeko and inadvertently beat his own goalie with a header on a set piece, but he also found the target in the right net in the same fashion later on. He'll compete for playing time with Berat Djimsiti, Caleb Okoli, and Giorgio Scalvini from January on.

Merih Demiral - Might be spared versus Lecce Demiral "has a small knee problem and could rest against Lecce," coach Gian Piero Gasperini announced.
