Razvan Marin - In squad Monday Marin (illness) will be available as a substitute against Napoli on Monday.

Impact If he gets onto the pitch, it would be just the second substitute appearance for Marin this season, having started all but one of his 24 appearances this year. Once back in the starting XI, the midfielder should offer solid top-half fantasy value considering he has recorded 87 crosses (29 accurate), 52 corners and three assists this season.

Babis Lykogiannis - On bench against Napoli Lykogiannis (fatigue) is on the bench for Monday's match against Napoli.

Impact Lykogiannis is available Monday, but he's on the bench for fatigue despite Cagliari last playing Feb. 13. Daniele Baselli is in the XI in his place on the left wing, but considering Lykogiannis is on the bench, he could make an appearance against Napoli and then return to the XI for the following contest.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leonardo Pavoletti - Named to match-day squad Pavoletti (thigh) was included in the match-day squad against Napoli on Monday.

Impact Pavoletti previously missed two matches due to his thigh problem and appeared to have put it behind him before the team's Feb. 13 matchup with Empoli. Even with the forward fit, he shouldn't be expected to crack the starting XI with any consistency considering he has just eight starts in 21 outings this year.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Carboni - On bench Monday Carboni (ankle) is on the bench for Monday's match against Napoli.

Impact Carboni is again on the bench Monday after being there the prior contest. It's a nagging issue that he's had trouble overcoming and it's unknown when he'll be asked to start again with Giorgio Altare back in the XI against Napoli, taking the spot of Adam Obert.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Lovato - Starting versus Napoli Lovato (hamstring) will be in the starting XI against Napoli on Monday.

Impact Lovato will make his third straight starting despite having picked up a hamstring problem in his previous outing. Even with the defender in action, he's unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his lack of offensive upside.

Leonardo Pavoletti - Late call for Napoli match Pavoletti is again dealing with muscle fatigue, Cagliari announced.

Impact Pavoletti sat out two matches recently for the same issue and will have to pass a late fitness test to be an option Monday.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Razvan Marin - Probable for Napoli clash Marin has dealt with a stomach bug throughout the week, but he returned to practice Sunday, Cagliari announced.

Impact Martin could be able to play through the illness depending on how he feels on match-day; otherwise, the next men up would be Alessandro Deiola and Daniele Baselli. He has logged four shots, eight chances, 14 crosses and seven tackles in the last five matches.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Babis Lykogiannis - Questionable for Napoli match Lykogiannis is nursing some muscle fatigue, Cagliari announced.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Lovato - In doubt for Napoli match Lovato did not sustain a significant injury but he did not practice fully ahead of Monday's game versus Napoli, Cagliari announced.

Impact Lovato escaped without major issues after subbing off in the previous game, but he is not totally out of the woods and will be a late call for his one. Giorgio Altare and Luca Ceppitelli would be the main candidates to replace him if he could not start.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrea Carboni - Questionable for Napoli game Carboni practiced on the side in the last few days due to an ankle injury, Cagliari announced.

Impact Carboni was available but uncharacteristically unused in the previous game due to the issue. The same could happen Monday unless he shows signs of improvement in the final practice. Adam Obert filled in for him in the last two matches, as he sit out one due to a suspension before getting hurt.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nahitan Nandez - Will miss more time Nandez (knee) will remain on the mend for Monday's game versus Napoli, Cagliari announced.

Impact Nandez will sit out the fourth game in a row, leading to more playing time for Alessandro Deiola, Daniele Baselli and Charalampos Lykogiannis. His agent disclosed earlier in the week that he is nursing a MCL sprain and not just a bruise as previously thought, so he might be forced to skip more matches.

Leonardo Pavoletti - Scores versus Empoli Pavoletti (thigh) took two shots (one on target), committed two fouls and scored a goal in 11 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Empoli.

Impact Pavoletti subbed in late in his return from a thigh ailment and made his presence felt with an opportunistic finish from close range. He has scored three times in the last five appearances, adding seven shots and two chances. He would probably have the upper hand on Keita and Gaston Pereira if it was not for his ever precarious health.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alessandro Deiola - Available against Napoli Deiola completed his one-game suspension in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Napoli.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leonardo Pavoletti - Available against Empoli Pavoletti (thigh) resumed training fully and will be called up for Sunday's match versus Empoli, Cagliari informed.
