Lautaro Martinez - Will return against Verona Martinez (thigh) was tested among the starters in the final practice before Saturday's clash with Verona, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Martinez trained fully for a couple of days in a row and might make the XI right away despite missing the past two games with an ailment. Marko Arnautovic would fall out of the lineup in that event. He's a safe bet to get minutes one way or the other. He scored twice and added one assist, 12 shots (four on target), and four chances created in his last five appearances.

Federico Dimarco - Fit for Verona game Dimarco (thigh) will be available Saturday against Verona, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Dimarco will return after missing two matches, but he might be eased off the bench, with Carlos Augusto getting the nod again. He has scored once and added four shots (three on target), seven chances created, and 32 crosses (eight accurate) in his last four appearances.

Tajon Buchanan - Transfers to Inter Buchanan has joined Inter on a permanent deal from Club Brugge, the club confirmed.

Impact Buchanan is replacing Juan Cuadrado (Achilles) as a deputy behind Denzel Dumfries on the right wing. He has registered eight shots (one on target), two key passes, 12 crosses (one accurate), and six tackles in six Champions League appearances last season. He'll likely be integrated slowly and will have to compete with Matteo Darmian as well.

Marcus Thuram - Kept scoreless against Genoa Thuram registered three shots (one on goal) in Friday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.

Impact Thuram was tasked with leading the attacking line against Genoa since Lautaro Martinez was out due to a thigh problem, but the Frenchman failed to make a big impact across the board. Thuram is having a decent season, however, taking multiple shots in each of his last five games and scoring thrice in that span.

Carlos Augusto - Takes four shots in draw Augusto registered four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.

Impact Carlos Augusto operated on the left side of the pitch and made his presence felt on both sides of the ball, though the nature of the game allowed him to roam forward with ease on the offensive end. He has just one assist between Serie A and Champions League play, however, so his fantasy contributions have been limited. He does average over 1.5 crosses per game, but that's not enough to consider him in most formats.

Marko Arnautovic - Scores against Genoa Arnautovic scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.

Impact Arnautovic was rewarded with a start and responded to the manager's trust with a goal after taking advantage of a rebound. The veteran forward has had to settle to a secondary role behind Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, however, so his fantasy upside is fairly low at the moment.

Yann Sommer - Can't extend streak of clean sheets Sommer registered three saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-1 draw against Genoa.

Impact Sommer conceded a goal when Radu Dragusin nodded a cross home during stoppage time of the first half. Despite the goal and the fact the match ended in a draw, it's worth Sommer has benefited from Inter's impressive defensive work to be one of the best options at goalkeeper in fantasy. He has 15 clean sheets across 23 matches between Serie A and UEFA Champions League play.

Denzel Dumfries - Silent against Genoa Dumfries (thigh) had two touches and one tackle and drew one foul in 12 minutes in Friday's 1-1 draw with Genoa.

Impact Dumfries was used as a sub after missing time due to a thigh injury and wasn't impactful off the bench. Since he didn't look explosive, he might need further tune-ups before reclaiming his starting job on the right wing. He has posted two goals and three assists in 14 Serie A appearances.
