Jacopo Fazzini - Should be fine for Napoli match Fazzini (leg) is expected to be fit for Tuesday's game versus Napoli, EuroSport informs.

Alberto Grassi - Late call for Napoli clash Grassi (ribs) "is close to coming back," coach Paolo Zanetti informed.

The coach stopped short of announcing he would be back for this one, but he might be an option, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

Mattia Destro - Will miss Udinese match Destro is still undergoing evaluations, but he won't be available for Tuesday's game versus Udinese, Sky Italy informs.

Impact Lammers didn't start but played almost the whole since Mattia Destro got hurt very early, and he was highly productive, pacing his team in shots and being the runner-up in key passes. He should return the XI if the teammate has to miss time. He has scored and assisted once so far.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Fazzini drew his first start of the season and was fairly energetic, but he couldn't continue after tackling an opponent, as he appeared to hurt his leg, although the yellow card might also have been a factor in the coach's decision to sub him off.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Bandinelli - Confirmed in starting XI Bandinelli is fit and in the starting Xi for Saturday's match against Sassuolo.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolas Haas - Nursing knee problem Haas "isn't 100 percent due to lingering knee soreness," coach Paolo Zanetti informed.

Impact Haas oddly didn't play in the past game after a run of starts, and he's unlikely to be in the XI for Saturday's game versus Sassuolo either, given his imperfect conditions. Two among Liam Henderson, Filippo Bandinelli, and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro will draw the start as box-to-box midfielders.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Bandinelli - Not expected to miss time Bandinelli subbed off in the past game due to cramps and fatigue, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

Impact Bandinelli didn't require tests after the match and is poised to be an option for Saturday's game versus Sassuolo. Nicolas Haas would an option if the coach decided to rotate the midfield and initially spare him.

He has logged one off-target shot, one chance created, two inaccurate crosses, and two tackles in three appearances.
