Sofyan Amrabat - Completes ban Amrabat served a one-game suspension in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Spezia.

Josip Brekalo - Good performance off the bench Brekalo generated one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Spezia.

Impact Brekalo has looked promising off the bench. He has failed to start any of his three appearances after joining the club in late-January. He is much more likely to become a regular player when he settles into the club. He will be unlikely to play a huge part versus Atalanta and Monza.

Jonathan Ikone - Average performance in draw Ikone had three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Spezia.

Impact Ikone was actively involved in the game but failed to record a goal involvement. The lack of goal involvements is a huge concern as he has managed only two assists and zero goals in last 14 appearances. He will have to perform well in the upcoming matches or he will lose his starting spot to Nicolas Gonzalez.

Lucas Martinez - Solid performance in draw Quarta generated three shots (one on goal) and three crosses (three accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Spezia.

Alfred Duncan - Bench option in Coppa Italia Duncan (conditioning) was available for Wednesday's cup fixture against Cremonese.

Impact Duncan was given a few days of practicing after international duties, but he quickly returned to the squad list. He'll be in contention with Gaetano Castrovilli to replace Sofyan Amrabat against Spezia, but he has logged just 11 minutes in the last four matches where he was available.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luka Jovic - Returns in cup clash Jovic came off the bench late in Wednesday's Coppa Italia game versus Cremonese.

Impact Jovic needed a few extra days to overcome an illness he dealt with during the international break and will resume alternating with Arthur Cabral, who's in impeccable form, at the no.9 position. He has scored once and added seven shots (two on target), and one chance in his last five appearances (one start).

Pietro Terracciano - Keeps clean sheet in win Terracciano registered three saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win over Inter Milan.

Impact Terracciano kept a clean sheet Saturday, his third in his past four starts.

He faces an easier matchup next Saturday versus Spezia who have scored just 23 goals in 27 league matches this season.
