Impact Vieira has appeared off the bench in the last few matches, but he got hurt in practice. The returning Kristoffer Askildsen will pick up the slack in the midfield.

Next Match vs US Catanzaro (H) · Sat 2:00PM
Ronaldo Vieira - Picks up ankle injury Vieira was omitted from the squad list to face Juventus Saturday due to an ankle contusion, Sampdoria informed.
Stefano Sensi - Creates once chance against Empoli Sensi (thigh) took one off-target shot, created one scoring chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and won two of three tackles in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Udinese.
Impact Sensi played through a minor thigh injury and put together a low-end stat-line contributing at both ends. He has tallied one goal, three shots, five chances and three crosses in four appearances with Sampdoria since joining in January. They will face Juventus at home Saturday.
MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nicola Murru - Suspended for Juventus game Murru sent in one accurate cross, had one clearance and one block and picked up his fifth yellow card in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Udinese.
Impact Murru drew the fifth start in a row, but he did not do much in this one. Tommaso Augello will return to the XI Saturday and figures to have higher offensive upside, although the new coach went with the teammate so far.
MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Morten Thorsby - Will return against Juventus Thorsby served his one game-suspension in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Udinese.
Impact Thorsby will most likely be back in the XI in Saturday's home game versus Juventus, replacing either Tomas Rincon or Albin Ekdal in the midfield. He has posted one chance, five tackles, four clearances and three blocks in the last five matches.
MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bartosz Bereszynski - Logs four tackles in loss Bereszynski had one cross, one block, two interceptions, four tackles, two fouls and sustained one foul in the 2-1 loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Going down two goals in the first twelve minutes should be a wake-up call to any defender, and for Bereszynski it was. The rest of the match he played with intensity, and his side will need his defensive presence in the next match against Juventus.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Candreva - Fires in nine crosses Candreva had one shot (off target), nine crosses, three interceptions, one foul, created two chances and was fouled once in the 2-1 loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Impact In an attempt to bring his side up to the level, Candreva tried his best to find the net one more time. Though he didn't have any success against Udinese, the midfielder is an aggressive crosser and may get lucky against Juventus.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maya Yoshida - Assists teammate in loss Yoshida had one assist, one shot (off target), one block, two tackles, three fouls and created two chances in the 2-1 loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Though Yoshida was quick to find Francesco Caputo in the 13th minute for a goal, Udinese had already scored twice at this point. The defender has missed significant time, but in his last three appearances he has logged two assists. Maybe he can add to that total against Juventus.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Francesco Caputo - Scores once against Udinese Caputo had one goal on three shots (two on goal) and sustained two fouls in the 2-1 loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Impact After going down by two goals in the first 12 minutes, Caputo responded quickly, scoring his side's only goal in the 13th minute thanks to the assist from Maya Yoshida. This was the first goal in the last four appearances for the forward, and it is unlikely he will do it again against Juventus.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Wladimiro Falcone - Makes three saves in loss Falcone had three saves and conceded two goals in the 2-1 loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Udinese came out strong, scoring their first goal in the 3rd minute and their second one in the 12th minute. Falcone did manage to make some stops later in the match, but he will have to do a lot better against Juventus.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fabio Quagliarella - Takes two shots in return Quagliarella had two shots (both on goal), one interception, two fouls and sustained three fouls in the 2-1 loss to Udinese on Saturday.
Impact Though he didn't miss any matches, Quagliarella came back from a calf injury. This appearance was quiet for the forward, but hopefully he will make more noise against Juventus.
MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Vladyslav Supryaga - Picks up ankle injury Supryaha will sit out Saturday's game against Udinese due to right-ankle contusion, Sampdoria announced.
Impact Supryaha got hurt in practice and will miss at least one game. He has logged just 23 minutes in four appearances since joining the team in January.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andrea Conti - Unavailable due to anti-doping protocols Conti will miss Friday's away game versus Udinese because he has started a treatment that requires him to cease all sport-related activities for a few days due to a recently revise...
Impact Conti will sit out at least one game due to the issue, and the team did not provide further details. Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri recently complained about the fact that using cortisone now triggers this kind of procedure.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stefano Sensi - Good to go for Udinese match Sensi (thigh) has been called up for Saturday's game against Udinese, Sampdoria announced.
Impact Sensi left the last game at half-time but had no lingering effects afterward as he quickly returned to full practice. He should be able to retain his starting job over Abdelhamid Sabiri in this one. He has scored once and tallied two shots, four chances and one cross in three matches with Sampdoria.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fabio Quagliarella - Available against Udinese Quagliarella (calf) has been named in Sampdoria's squad list to face Udinese Saturday.
Impact Quagliarella subbed off in the previous game, but the move was likely only precautionary as he has not been limited in practice afterward. He has got chances to stay in the XI. He has scored twice and posted six shots and two chances in the last three appearances.
MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Omar Colley - Posts three interceptions versus Atalanta Colley had one block, four interceptions and six clearances and won five duels in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Colley did what he could, but Sampdoria were played out of the park in this one. He has tallied 39 tackles, 69 interceptions, 100 clearances and 12 blocks in 22 matches, with four clean sheets. Sampdoria will visit Udinese Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Ferrari - Busy in Atalanta game Ferrari sent in two crosses (one accurate), had three interceptions and won four of four tackles and four duels in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Ferrari had his hands full and piled up defensive stats, but he could not prevent the opponents from hitting the net four times. He will have to compete with the returning Maya Yoshida going forward. He has logged 22 tackles, 26 interceptions and 30 clearances in 13 matches, with two clean sheets. Sampdoria will visit Udinese Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Albin Ekdal - Wins ten duels against Atalanta Ekdal created one scoring chance, won four of five tackles and ten duels and had three successful take-ons in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Ekdal put up strong numbers on the defensive end, but it was not enough to stop the Atalanta romp. He has tallied five interceptions, five interceptions and one block in the last four matches. Sampdoria will visit Udinese Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Morten Thorsby - Suspended for Udinese match Thorsby created one scoring chance, won three duels, had two clearances and picked up his tenth yellow card in Monday's 0-4 loss to Udinese.
Impact Thorsby did not do a whole lot in this one and will have to miss another game due to yellow-card accumulation. Tomas Rincon will likely fill in for him in Saturday's away game versus Udinese.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Francesco Caputo - Fires two shots in Atalanta game Caputo took two shots (one on target), created one scoring chances, drew one foul and won one duel in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Caputo had a pair of opportunities only at the beginning of the second half, but he could not exploit them and was hindered by the fact that Sampdoria were outplayed in this one. He has scored twice and posted 11 shots and four chances in the last six matches. Sampdoria will visit Udinese Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Giovinco - Does not feature against Atalanta Giovinco (calf) was an unused sub for Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Giovinco will have to wait for his Sampdoria debut as he is not in peak shape yet. He could have better chances in Saturday's away game versus Udinese as Stefano Sensi and Fabio Quagliarella got hurt in this one.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fabio Quagliarella - Bows out in Atalanta game Quagliarella took two off-target shots, drew one foul, won two duels and was dispossessed four times in 45 minutes in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta and subbed off at half-time due...
Impact Quagliarella struggled in the first half and did not re-emerge from the locker room. He has dealt with calf issues recently. He will likely take some tests ahead of Saturday's away game versus Udinese. He was replaced by Abdelhamid Sabiri in this one. Sebastian Giovinco and Vladyslav Supryaha would also be candidates to see minutes if Quagliarella was to miss time.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maya Yoshida - Comes off bench versus Atalanta Yoshida (thigh) had one interception and one clearance in 45 in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Yoshida could not stop the bleeding in his return from injury, but he fared better than Giangiacomo Magnani, whom he replaced. Depending on which scheme the coach uses going forward, he will be in contention also with Alex Ferrari. Sampdoria will visit Udinese Saturday.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stefano Sensi - Subs off versus Atalanta Sensi (thigh) sent in one inaccurate cross, drew one foul and won one duel in 45 minutes in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta and bowed out at half-time due to an ailment, coach Marco...
Impact Sensi was dealing with a thigh issue in the lead-up of the game and it is unclear whether the move was precautionary or if he aggravated it. He will be assessed ahead of Saturday's away game versus Udinese.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Antonio Candreva - Will return against Udinese Candreva completed his one-match disqualification in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Candreva was sorely missed in this one as he sat out because of yellow-card accumulation. He will reprise his mammoth role in the midfield in Saturday's away game against Udinese. He has tallied seven goals, eight assists, 58 shots and 64 chances in 25 games thus far.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bartosz Bereszynski - Available against Udinese Bereszynski served his one-game suspension in Monday's 0-4 loss to Atalanta.
Impact Bereszynski sat out one match due to yellow-card accumulation. He will reprise his starting role in Saturday's away game versus Udinese. He was replaced by Andrea Conti in this one, but the two could also feature together due to absences in other areas.
