He has kept three clean sheets, surrendered three goals, and made 11 saves in the last five matches.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Casale - Likely to return against Verona Casale (thigh) has resumed working with the group this week and is probable for Saturday's Verona match, Il Tempo relayed.

Impact Casale has sat out the last three games due to a relapse of a thigh problem and hasn't featured since late October. Despite that, he could be rushed back since Alessio Romagnoli (thigh) is absent and Patric (calf) is in doubt. If he's not thrust into the XI, Adam Marusic would likely fill in as a center-back. He has recorded four tackles, three interceptions, and eight clearances in his last four appearances, with no clean sheets.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Alberto - Fit for Verona game Alberto (thigh) has practiced fully for two days in a row and is set to be an option against Verona, Il Tempo informed.
