Razvan Marin - Fit for Monza clash Marin is fit and in the match day squad to face Monza on Saturday.

Impact Marin returns from a back injury in time to make the bench against Monza. The midfielder has appeared in all nine matches this season for Empoli with no goal involvements but a team-high ten chances created on the campaign.

Razvan Marin - Questionable for Monza match Marin has been limited by back pain in practice in the lead-up to Saturday's Monza game, coach Paolo Zanetti informed.

Impact Marin will try to shake it off in the time remaining prior to the game; otherwise, they will have to come up with a solution since his usual backup Alberto Grassi is out with a ribs injury. Liam Henderson, Nedim Bajrami, and Tommaso Baldanzi are potential candidates to adapt to such position.

Martin Satriano - Unused versus Torino Satriano (undisclosed) didn't play in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Torino.

Impact Satriano was available but didn't log any minutes, mostly because of a small injury. If he improves physically, he'll be in contention to start with Mattia Destro, Sam Lammers, and Nicolo Cambiaghi in Saturday's Monza game. He has scored once and added 14 shots (three on target), four chances created, and four crosses (one accurate) in the last five appearances.

Petar Stojanovic - Subs in late against Torino Stojanovic (thigh) had one pass and one clearance and drew one foul in 12 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Torino.

Impact Stojanovic was limited by a thigh problem, but he managed to log a few minutes. His replacement Tyronne Ebuehi fared well, but he has been the clear starter so far. Barring a setback, he should be back in the XI versus Monza. He has posted one assist, 11 crosses (two accurate), 14 tackles (seven won), and 17 clearances in the last four games.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Lammers - Quiet performance versus Torino Lammers had zero shots and made one tackle and one clearance during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Lammers had arguably his worst performance of the season so far, failing to attempt a single shot while he was on the pitch and being completely held in check by opposing defenders. To make things worse for the forward , Mattia Destro, who replaced him at halftime, open the scoring with an amazing bicycle goal with just four minutes into the second frame. Lammers will probably remain in the lineup for Saturday's clash against Monza, but another poor performance could very well put his current status as a starter in jeopardy.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastiano Luperto - Active performance versus Torino Luperto made five clearances and one block during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Luperto had a lot of work coming his way here as the opposition dominated for most of the contest and thrived under pressure, pacing his side in clearances and doing a great job to keep Antonio Sanabria at bay. The fact that his side suffered a late goal didn't take any of the shine from the center-back, who racked up 25 clearances over his last five starts and is proving to be a very nice fantasy option.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Guglielmo Vicario - Makes six saves versus Torino Vicario made six saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Vicario saw his side being dominated by the opposition and had a great performance, racking up a season-high six saves and keeping Torino scoreless until the closing stages of the match. Unfortunately for him, Sasa Lukic's hustle play in the 90th minute resulted in a dramatic equalizer, with the goalkeeper already beaten on the play after diving to cut a cross from the right. With 12 saves, four goals allowed and one clean sheet over his last three outings, Vicario will try to remain productive during Saturday's home clash against Monza.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tyronne Ebuehi - Makes assist in first season start Ebuehi provided an assist, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and made three clearances during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Ebuehi made his first start of the campaing, with Petar Stojanovic (thigh) coming off the bench. And the right-back had a very positive output, assisting Mattia Destro for his side's lone goal while also being solid defensively. Regardless of Stojanovic's fitness for the upcoming matches, Ebuehi proved to be a nice option if more opportunities arise.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Destro - Scores off bench versus Torino Destro scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Destro was brought at halftime as part of a double halftime substitution and needed just four minutes to make an impact, scoring an amazing bicycle goal after picking up a cross from the right flank. This was the first goal of the season for the veteran forward and he'll hope it helps him to keep getting playing time during upcoming matches.

Petar Stojanovic - Available versus Torino Stojanovic (thigh) is a bench option for Sunday's match against Torino.

Impact Stojanovic won't get the nod, differently than usual, but he's fit enough to be available. Tyronne Ebuehi is starting as a right-back in this one.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Satriano - Bench option against Torino Satriano (undisclosed) is available for Sunday's game versus Torino.

Impact Satriano won't get the start due to a minor injury, but he could see some minutes off the bench if need be. Sam Lammers and Nicolo Cambiaghi have been selected in the XI as far as the Empoli frontline is concerned.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Martin Satriano - Uncertain for game versus Torino Satriano hasn't had a clean week of practice and is a question mark for Sunday's clash with Torino, coach Paolo Zanetti announced.

Impact Satriano will have to go through a late fitness test to be an option. Given the situation, it's likely that Mattia Destro will get the nod over him even if he's fit, returning to the XI after a while.

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Petar Stojanovic - Questionable for Torino game Stojanovic is nursing some muscle fatigue and is in doubt for Sunday's match versus Torino, coach Paolo Zanetti announced.

Impact Stojanovic hasn't been ruled out altogether, but he has been limited in practice in the lead-up to the match and might not start even if available. Tyronne Ebuehi is the next man up in the role.

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jean Akpa - Will miss more game Akpa Akpro is nursing a low-grade biceps femoris strain in the right thigh, Empoli announced.

Impact Akpa Akpro was a late scratch last week and will have to sit out a pair more fixtures to recover from the injury. He had strictly appeared off the bench before getting hurt. Jacopo Fazzini might absorb the limited minutes opened up by his injury.

Alberto Grassi - Diagnosed with rib fracture Grassi cracked the ninth rib in Saturday's game versus Milan, Empoli announced.

Impact Grassi will have to sit out multiple matches while the bones heal. Razvan Marin will see most of the minutes as a deep-lying playmaker while he's out. Youngster Jacopo Fazzini and Ducci Degli Innocenti could see an uptick in minutes as backups.

Nedim Bajrami - Scores first goal of season Bajrami scored a goal while taking three shots (two on goal) and crossing twice inaccurately during Saturday's 3-1 loss to AC Milan.

Impact Bajrami entered the match in the 58th minute and scored Empoli's lone goal in the 92nd. The goal was the first of the season for the attacker as his three shots tied for the team-high total in the loss.

Alberto Grassi - Subs off versus Milan Grassi won three of four tackels and five duels, had one interception, and drew one foul bowing out late in the first half in Saturday's clash with Milan.

Impact Grassi had a gritty showing but had trouble breathing after a blow to the midsection. He'll take some tests to determine whether he suffered an injury. Razvan Marin substituted him, as the two routinely alternate in the midfield.

Ardian Ismajli - Out multiple weeks Ismajli has been diagnosed with a medium-grade strain of the semimembranosus muscle of the left thigh, Empoli announced.

Impact Ismajli will indeed miss considerable time as the team feared. He'll be out for at least a month, and he's not a lock to return before the World Cup as the problem could take up to six weeks to heal. Koni De Winter or Sebastian Walukiewicz will replace him in the back.

Jean Akpa - Ruled out for Milan clash Akpa Akpro picked up a late injury in practice and will miss Saturday's game versus Milan, coach Paolo Zanetti announced.
