Mattia Zaccagni - Nursing foot problem Zaccagni will miss Sunday's clash with Atalanta and likely more fixtures due to an edema in his foot, Ansa relayed.

Valentin Castellanos - Takes one shot against Napoli Castellanos (thigh) had one shot on target, one key pas, and one tackle (one won) in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli.

Impact Castellanos was in the XI since Ciro Immobile was suspended but didn't put up many stats in a tight game. He scored with an acrobatic shot but was slightly offside. The two strikers will split duties in the coming weeks considering the upcoming return of the Champions League. He has posted one goal, one assist, eight shots (four on target), and five chances created in his last five showings.

Alessio Romagnoli - Keeps clean sheet Sunday Romagnoli recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Napoli. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 55th minute.

Impact Romagnoli made his first start since Nov. 12 Sunday after a lengthy calf injury forced him to miss eight games. He played a total of 69 minutes off the bench in the last two matches but was finally deemed fit enough to start Sunday. He played quite well, tying a season-high with nine clearances and adding one tackle and two blocked shots as his side kept Napoli without a shot on target. The only downside to his performance was a yellow card, his third Serie A booking of the season.

Ivan Provedel - Keeps clean sheet in draw Provedel recorded no saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Provedel had a surprisingly easy day Sunday as he did not face a single shot on target in his eighth Serie A clean sheet of the season. It marked the first time all season he has not faced a shot on target in a match. He caught the reigning league champions at the perfect time however as Victor Osimhen (AFCON) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (suspension) were both out. Provedel faces a more difficult matchup this upcoming Sunday at Atalanta, a side which has scored 37 goals in 21 league matches this season.

JANUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Danilo Cataldi - Will miss Atalanta game Cataldi took two shots (zero on target), won one tackle, had one clearance, and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli.

Impact Cataldi got the nod over Nicolo Rovella in this one but didn't do much and will have to sit one game due to yellow-card accumulation. The teammate will resume starting versus Atalanta, and Matias Vecino will serve as the deputy at the position.

JANUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Zaccagni - Will return versus Atalanta Zaccagni served a one-match disqualification in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli.

Ciro Immobile - Clears disqualification Immobile served his one-game ban in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli.

Impact Immobile will be available for Sunday's clash with Atalanta and will compete for the starting job with Taty Castellanos, who was good in relief. He hasn't scored in six matches, logging 10 shots (three on target), six key passes, and one cross (zero accurate).

Patric - Will miss Napoli clash Patric (shoulder) hasn't been spotted in training following the Supercoppa, Tuttomercatoweb relayed.

Impact Patric made a token appearance to the bench in Saudi Arabia but wasn't healthy and is considered at risk also for the next game due to a shoulder sprain. Mario Gila or Nicolo Casale will partner with Alessio Romagnoli while he's on the shelf.

Valentin Castellanos - Will return versus Napoli Castellanos (thigh) has recovered from his injury and will be in contention to start Sunday, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Castellanos has logged multiple full training sessions in a row after missing one game and the Supercoppa due to a thigh injury. He'll be one of the primary candidates to replace Ciro Immobile (suspension), although Felipe Anderson can also adapt to the position. Mattia Zaccagni is also suspended, so the only other healthy forwards left are Gustav Tang Isaksen and Pedro. He has scored and assisted once and added eight shots (four on target), and four key passes in his last five showings.

Patric - Available for Supercoppa Patric (shoulder) was an unused sub in Friday's Supercoppa semifinal against Inter.

He has registered 11 clerances, three blocks, and two tackles (zero won) in the last four rounds, scoring once and contributing to one clean sheet.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mario Gila - Holds his own in Lecce game Gila recorded three tackles (two won), two clearances, one block, and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Lecce.

Impact Gila has surpassed Nicolo Casale in the pecking order and got the nod as Alessio Romagnoli was initially spared. He could continue to start regularly Patric (shoulder) misses some time. He has logged 10 tackles (five won), five interceptions, and 17 clearances in the last five matches, with two clean sheets.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Rovella - Serviceable against Lecce Rovella won two of four tackles and five duels and registered one cross (zero accurate) and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Lecce.

Impact Rovella protected the defense well in the low-scoring affair, racking up stats in the passive phase. He has started five times in a row, registering 16 crosses (two accurate), 14 corners, and 17 tackles (10 won).

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ciro Immobile - Suspended for Napoli clash Immobile (thigh) committed two fouls and was booked for the fifth time in the campaign in 11 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-0 win over Lecce.

Impact Immobile saw limited action following a thigh problem, but it was enough for him to earn a one-game suspension due to yellow-card accumulation. If Taty Castellanos (thigh) doesn't return, Felipe Anderson will lead the line against Napoli on January 28.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mattia Zaccagni - Will miss next game Zaccagni registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate), and one chance created and picked up his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Lecce.

Impact Zaccagni didn't do much in a tight game and will sit out the Napoli clash on January 28 due to yellow-card accumulation. Pedro will likely take his place since Ciro Immobile will be missing for the same reason.
