Adrien Silva - Likely to return versus Parma Silva (knee) has re-joined his teammates in practice Friday, Sampdoria announced.
Impact Silva has completed his recovery from a knee contusion and should at least be a bench option for Saturday's game versus Parma.

He has posted one goal, one assist, ten created chances and 47 tackles in 23 games thus far.

Emil Audero - Stands tall with clean sheet in win Audero made two saves and recorded one clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Udinese on Sunday.
Impact Audero had endured a rather poor run in his prior two performances. He conceded seven goals and made six saves in that span. However, Audero responded well against Udinese en route to his sixth clean sheet of the season and his second in the past four appearances. He has been outstanding all season and his saves per match gives him one of the highest ceilings in the league at his position. He will remain one of the better options as the season concludes.

Fabio Quagliarella - Converts from spot off bench Quagliarella scored once, took two shots (two on target) and created one chance in the close 1-0 win against Udinese on Sunday.
Impact Quagliarella returned to the bench after starting in the midweek. The forward however still managed to do enough damage to boost Sampdoria to another win. This was just his 12th goal of the season and the second from the spot. When he starts, Quagliarella is a terrific option and he has one more chance before the conclusion of the season.

Antonio Candreva - Sends seven crosses in loss Sunday Candreva produced two shots (two on target), created two chances, sent seven crosses (one accurate), took three corners and made two tackles (one won) in the 1-0 win against Udines...
Impact Candreva continues to shine along the flank for Sampdoria. The midfielder thrives on the wing where he creates a plethora of opportunities. He also continued to be in charge of set-pieces furthering his floor and upside. He is sitting in a great spot as well to host Parma in the final matchup of the season. Candreva is averaging, 1.58 shots, 1.79 created chances, 8.41 crosses, 3.05 corners and 0.82 tackles per 90 minutes in all competitions this season.

Manolo Gabbiadini - Rips four shots in 1-0 loss Gabbiadini took four shots (one on target), created one chance and made one tackle (one won) during the 1-0 win over Udinese on Sunday.
Impact Gabbiadini rebounded with a much better performance after a mediocre outing against Spezia at the midweek. The forward even had a created chance and a tackle. Gabbiadini has struggled for the majority of his career with consistency and good form. He remains a boom-or-bust option and he is only averaging 1.73 shots per game.

Morten Thorsby - Makes three tackles in 1-0 win Thorsby took one shot (none on target), created one chance, made three tackles (one won) and received one yellow card in the 1-0 win against Udinese on Sunday, which will cost him...
Impact Thorsby was average in the close win Sunday. The midfielder put together another strong outing in the tackle department and he added a shot as well. He has never shown a knack for the attack, but he continues to put together strong defensive showings and at times gathering stats in bunches. He will likely be replaced by Valerio Verre or Adrien Silva (knee) in Saturday's home game versus Parma.

Adrien Silva - Stays out for Udinese game Silva (knee) has resumed practicing, but he has not been called up for Sunday's match against Udinese, Sampdoria informed.

Gaston Ramirez - Unavailable against Udinese Ramirez will miss Sunday's game versus Udinese due to a left ankle contusion, Sampdoria announced.
Impact Ramirez picked up the ailment in practice and will not be able to play in this round. His playing time has been irregular, so their usual XI is not particularly affected by his absence. Fabio Quagliarella, Balde Keita and Manolo Gabbiadini will be the top options up front for Sampdoria Sunday.

Keita Balde - Scores versus Spezia Keita scored one goal on three shots (one on target) and drew one foul in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Spezia.

The striker has now scored twice in the last two appearances, along with producing five shots and two chances created.

Maya Yoshida - Collects an assist in draw Yoshida registered one assist, took two shots off target, created two chances and made one interception in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Spezia.

Valerio Verre - Scores versus Spezia Verre scored one goal on two shots on target, created one chance and delivered one cross in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Spezia.

Impact Candreva was not able to find the back of the net Wednesday but he still managed to rack up offensive stats due to his role on set pieces. The midfielder has produced six shots, seven chances created and 32 crosses in the last three appearances. He will try to make it on the scoresheet Sunday versus Udinese.
MAY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emil Audero - Makes four saves in draw Audero made four saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Spezia.

Adrien Silva - Ruled out for Spezia match Silva (knee) did not make Sampdoria's squad list to face Spezia Wednesday.
