Yerry Mina - Questionable for Genoa match Mina is in doubt for Monday's game versus Genoa due to muscle fatigue, Sky Italy informed.

Impact Mina has made the trip but will go through a late fitness test to see whether he can play. The team might opt to err on the side of caution. Without both he and Alberto Dossena (knee), a switch to a more aggressive lineup would be more likely.

Nicolas Viola - Suffers thigh injury Viola will be sidelined for at least a couple of games due to a muscular distraction in hs left biceps femoris, L'Unione Sarda reported.

Alberto Dossena - Ruled out for Genoa game Dossena hasn't been called up for Monday's match versus Genoa due to a left knee contusion, Cagliari announced.

Impact Dossena will miss at least one game while he undergoes further evaluations. Adam Obert and Mateusz Wieteska are the next men up in the back, but the coach could also decide to field one fewer defender without one of his top men, beefing up the midfield.

He has logged one goal, seven shots (three on target) and seven chances created in his last five appearances.

Pantelis Chatzidiakos - Holds his own against Juventus Hatzidiakos generated four tackles (three won), one block, four clearances and three interceptions in Friday's 2-2 draw against Juventus.

Impact Hatzidiakos had a very respectable display even though the opponents found a way to score twice in this one.

He had been an unused sub for four straight matches before the last two rounds, where he has totaled four tackles three won), six interceptions and nine clearances.

Nahitan Nandez - Creates three chances against Juventus Nandez recorded two crosses (two accurate), three key passes, two interceptions and one tackle (one won) in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Juventus.

He has registered 11 chances created, 25 crosses (11 accurate) and 13 tackels (six won) in his last five showings.

Zito Luvumbo - Suspended for Genoa game Luvumbo drew six fouls and registered two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) and picked up his fifth yellow card in Friday's 2-2 draw versus Juventus.

Impact Luvumbo lacked touch in the box but was extra slippery, and one of his bursting runs led to the second PK for his side. On the other hand, he'll have to miss the next game due to yellow-card accumulation due to a silly infraction. Gaetano Pio Oristanio and Nicolas Viola are the top candidates to replace him.
