Marco Silvestri - Allows one in defeat Silvestri registered five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Roma.
Impact Silvestri allowed just a single goal while making give saves against Roma on Sunday. He's made four Serie A appearances since his move to Empoli, totaling 14 saves while allowing 10 goals. The keeper will travel to Torino for the next game on Saturday, who have scored nine goals in the last five contests.

Tyronne Ebuehi - Not fielded in Roma game Ebuehi (knee) didn't play in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Roma.
Impact Ebuehi returned to the squad list after nearly a year rehabbing an ACL rupture. He'll deputize Emmanuel Gyasi and Giuseppe Pezzella along with Junior Sambia the rest of the way, but he's unlikely to garner much game time soon.

Tyronne Ebuehi - Called up for Roma tilt Ebuehi has made Empoli's initial squad list for Sunday's game versus Roma a year after tearing his knee, La Nazione reported.
Impact Ebuehi last played in March and went through a tortuous rehab. He's unlikely to garner many minutes in the next few matches given how much time he has missed. He recorded one assist, 11 key passes, 23 crosses (five accurate) and 14 tackles in 15 matches last season (11 starts).
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Szymon Zurkowski - Stays on the mend Zurkowski (knee) won't return Sunday against Roma, Sky Italy reported.
Impact Zurkowski will miss the second match in a row due to a knee injury. He hasn't been able to get into a rhythm this campaign due to continuous injury woes.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Mattia Viti - Will continue missing time Viti (knee) will remain sidelined for Sunday's game versus Roma, La Nazione reported.
Impact Viti will skip the four match in a row while nursing a knee injury. Mattia De Sciglio, Luca Marianucci and Liberato Cacace will keep replacing him and Ardian Ismajli (thigh).
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Youssef Maleh - Picks up knee problem Maleh "had been playing through a knee issue, which got worse in training during the week," coach Roberto D'Aversa announced.
Impact Maleh won't be available against Roma on Sunday and might undergo some exams to verify the severity of the injury. Liberato Cacace might move to a more offensive role, with Mattia De Sciglio replacing him in the back. Jacopo Bacci and Junior Sambia could also benefit from the situation.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastiano Esposito - Takes two shots in draw Esposito had two off-target shots and suffered two fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.
Impact Esposito had a pair of attempts but couldn't generate major danger up front, having his scoreless streak being extended to six games. With eight goals over 23 league appearances, the attacker will hope to regain his best form ahead of the final stretch of the season.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Liberato Cacace - Busy defensively in draw Cacace had one off-target shot, sent in three inaccurate crosses and made four tackles (all won), eight clearances and two interceptions during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.
Impact Cacace had his best performance of the season so far with season highs in tackles and clearances and some great plays to prevent opposing forwards to generate danger. The center-back, who didn't have major statistical impact over the previous three starts, will hope this game is the start of better things to come.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Alberto Grassi - Scores in draw Grassi scored a goal off his lone shot during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.
Impact Grassi is mostly used to contribute defensive but this time he had a major impact on the attacking end as he used a one-timed finish to open the scoring for Empoli after the opposition failed to clear a corner kick in the 36th minute. This was the first league goal for the midfielder since the 2019-20 season so he shouldn't be expected to add many more to his account.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Silvestri - Concedes late goal in draw Silvestri made zero saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.
Impact Silvestri made his third consecutive start since joining Empoli and didn't have any work to do during most of the contest. However, in the 81st minute the goalkeeper committed a huge mistake that cost his team the win as he let a shot that looked easy to stop go into the back of the net. With nine goals allowed over his three appearances, Silvestri could have his starting spot in jeopardy as soon as next Sunday, when his team hosts Roma.
MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE
Szymon Zurkowski - Will skip Genoa game Zurkowski won't be an option versus Genoa on Sunday due to a bruised knee, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Impact Zurkowski got banged up in training and will sit out at least one contest. He has been deployed as a sub after recovering from a serious ankle injury. Viktor Kovalenko and Liberato Cacace will soak up his sparse minutes.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Ardian Ismajli - Ruled out for Genoa clash Ismajli (thigh) "won't be available Sunday", coach Roberto D'Aversa announced.
Impact Ismajli picked up a new muscular problem in his return from a previous one midweek. Empoli will lean on the same defenders as in recent weeks, with Mattia De Sciglio and Luca Marianucci enjoying an uptick in minutes given the absences.

Ardian Ismajli - Returns in cup game Ismajli (thigh) played a half in Wednesday's Coppa Italia match versus Juventus.
Impact Ismajli worked his way back after a three-game absence and turned in a solid shift. He'll likely get the nod over Liberato Cacace versus Genoa on Sunday, with Giuseppe Pezzella returning on the wing. He has posted five tackles (four won), six interceptions, 32 clearances and one block in his last five displays, with no clean sheets.

Giuseppe Pezzella - Shows glimmer of creativity Pezzella registered seven crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-0 defeat versus Atalanta.
Impact Pezzella was the only Empoli forward who was able to demonstrate even a modicum of attacking threat in their 5-0 loss to Atalanta. In 90 minutes played, the left winger created two chances, made four passes into the final third, and was dispossessed just once. Pezzella has just two goal contributions in 23 Serie A starts this season, and he will have to work hard to add to that total against Juventus in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.
FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Emmanuel Gyasi - Woeful display Gyasi generated an own goal in Sunday's 5-0 defeat to Atalanta.
Impact Gyasi had a nightmare of a shift for Empoli in their 5-0 defeat to Atalanta on Sunday. In 57 minutes played, the right winger scored an own goal, did not create a single chance, did not take a single shot, and had just one touch in the opposition's box. Gyasi has struggled this Serie A season, mustering just three goal contributions in 26 starts. Hopefully he can turn his fortunes around this Wednesday in the Coppa Italia against Juventus.
FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Kouame - Works hard in loss Kouame generated one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 defeat against Atalanta.
Impact Kouame was perhaps the only bright spot of Empoli's attack in their 5-0 thrashing courtesy of Atalanta. In 58 minutes played, the striker won the most duels of any player in the match with 13, put his only shot of the game on target, and created one chance. Kouame has just one assist and zero goals in seven Serie A starts this season, but hopefully the Coppa Italia will provide better fortune as Empoli prepare to take on Juventus in the competition on Wednesday.
FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Silvestri - Lamb to the slaughter Silvestri registered four saves and allowed five goals in Sunday's 5-0 defeat against Atalanta.
Impact Silvestri was left defenseless as Empoli were battered 5-0 by Atalanta. The Italian keeper did manage to make four saves, three diving saves, and three from inside his own box. However, conceding five goals in a match will tend to be the standout statistic for any goalkeeper. Silvestri has now conceded eight goals in two Serie A starts, so hopefully there are better days ahead for him against Juventus in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.
FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Luca Marianucci - Clears suspension Marianucci finished serving his two-game ban in Sunday's 5-0 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Marianucci will return against Genoa and could get an opportunity if Ardian Ismajli (thigh) and Mattia Viti (knee) remain sidelined, as the coach had to adapt Giuseppe Pezzella to the role due to a lack of alternatives. He has recorded five tackles (two won), two interceptions and six clearances in his last five showings (two starts).

Impact Viti will skip the second contest in a row due to a knee contusion. Saba Goglichidze, Mattia De Sciglio and Giuseppe Pezzella should start again in the back since Ardian Ismajli (thigh) and Luca Marianucci (suspension) are missing too.
