Absent for Lecce tilt Pierozzi (ankle) won't be an option versus Lecce on Saturday, Tuttomercatoweb informed.

Will not play against Inter Pierozzi (ankle) will be unavailable for Friday's away game versus Inter, Tuttomercatoweb announced.

The coach opted to change the tactics and inserted Shon Weissman once he went down, with Alessandro Zanoli and then Junior Sambia handling the right flank. Lorenzo Pirola and Kostas Manolas would enter the XI if he was unavailable for the next game and the boss stuck with a three-man defense.

Doesn't play versus Bologna Pierozzi (head) didn't get minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over Bologna.

NOVEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Bologna match Pierozzi (head) has been called up for Sunday's game versus Bologna.

Starts midweek Pierozzi (thigh) got the start against Cuckaricki Thursday but stayed down for a few minutes late due to a head injury, Goal informed.

Impact Pierozzi returned from a brief absence and didn't leave the game, but the type of injury could demand further evaluations ahead of the Bologna match. He'd be the purest option to replace Michael Kayode (ankle), but he has played very little so far.

Called up Thursday Pierozzi (thigh) was named to the squad list ahead of Thursday's Conference League matchup with Cukaricki.
