Tommaso Augello - Called up for Lecce fixture Augello has been named in Cagliari's squad list to face Lecce on Saturday.

Impact Augello was scratched late last week but was dealing with an illness and not an injury, and he has quickly shaken it off. He has good chances of reclaiming his usual starting job over Paulo Azzi. He has notched two key passes, 17 crosses (two accurate), and 10 clearances in his last three appearances.

Nicolas Viola - Impacts both ends, set-pieces Viola recorded two shots (one on goal), 13 crosses (five accurate) and seven corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Empoli.

Impact Viola had a big game in what was an overall tepid contest for both sides, taking seven corners and creating three chances. He is instrumental to his side in both attack and defense and continues to contribute on set pieces on a consistent basis.

Matteo Prati - Two-way impact in draw Prati registered three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Empoli.

Impact Prati took three shots for the second game in a row while winning two of his three tackles in midfield. He will look to make a similar impact against Lecce on Saturday.

Leonardo Pavoletti - Takes four shots vs Empoli Pavoletti generated four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Empoli.

Impact Pavoletti tallied a season-high four shots in this contest but was unable to score a fifth goal of the year. He will look to get back amongst the goals against Lecce.

Simone Scuffet - Little to do in draw Scuffet recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Empoli.

Impact Scuffet made one save as he kept his first clean sheet in 11 games so far this year. He will look to make it two in a row against a Lecce side that scored 19 goals in 18 matches.

Zito Luvumbo - Departs for AFCON Luvumbo has left Italy for the Ivory Coast as he has been called up by Angola, L'Unione Sarda informed.

Impact Luvumbo was granted a few extra days compared to other participants due to a midweek Coppa Italia fixture. He'll miss at least the next three games due to the international competition. With Gianluca Lapadula (ribs) and Eldor Shomurodov (foot) currently on the mend, their only remaining offensive weapons are Leonardo Pavoletti, Andrea Petagna, and Gaetano Pio Oristanio.

Elio Capradossi - Bench option in cup game Capradossi (calf) was an unused sub in Tuesday's Coppa Italia match versus Milan.

Impact Capradossi was available for the first time in the season after a major calf injury. Despite being healthy, he's unlikely to garner much playing time since they have a few more established options in the back already.

Gianluca Lapadula - Diagnosed with pair of fractures Lapadula cracked his sixth and seventh rib in the most recent game and will rest and rehab for a few days, Cagliari announced.

Impact Lapadula might eventually be able to play through the problem, but surely not in the upcoming Lecce match. With Zito Luvumbo about to leave for AFCON, Leonardo Pavoletti, Andrea Petagna, and Gaetano Pio Oristanio will be Cagliari's top offensive weapons.

Antoine Makoumbou - Completes suspension Makoumbou served a one-game ban in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Empoli.

Impact Makoumbou will probably replace Ibrahim Sulemana in the XI against Lecce on Saturday. He has registered two chances created, four tackles (three won), and two interceptions in his last five appearances.

Tommaso Augello - Ruled out for Empoli game Augello isn't in the squad to face Empoli on Saturday.

Impact Augello was part of the provisional roster for the game but has likely picked up a late physical problem. Paulo Azzi is replacing him on the left wing.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nahitan Nandez - Picks up thigh injury Nandez has sustained a low-degree thigh strain, Cagliari announced.

Impact Nandez will have to sit two or three more matches on top of the upcoming Empoli one. He has mostly played on the right flank as of late, so Gabriele Zappa and Alessandro Di Pardo will pick up the slack.

Nicolas Viola - Well-rounded effort in loss Viola generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Verona. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th mi...

Impact Viola picked up his fifth start of the season and delivered a well-rounded effort after sitting out the last match. This also marked the fifth game of the year in which he was responsible for at least two chances created. On the other side of the ball, Viola has won all four of his tackles across over the span of the last four games.

DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Antoine Makoumbou - Sent off in Verona game Makoumbou picked up two yellow cards and was sent off in the 51st minute of Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Verona and had one clearance before his removal.

Impact Makoumbou didn't produce and hit the showers early because of two rough fouls. Ibrahim Sulemana quickly came off the bench to replace him and will likely get the start against Empoli next Saturday.
