Noah Okafor - Will sit a few gamesOkafor suffered a semimembranous muscle strain in the Monza match, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.
Tommaso Pobega - Dealing with major injuryPobega damaged his rectus femoris tendon near the left hip and will require a specialist consult, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
ImpactPobega will be further evaluated in the coming days and might need surgery to address the problem. In any case, his absence will be long-term. He has backed up Yunush Musah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the first portion of the season. Ismael Bennacer, Rade Krunic, and Yacine Adli will pick up the slack.

Simon Kjaer - Wins one tackle in Monza contestKjaer (thigh) had one interception, two clearances, and one block and won one of one tackle in Sunday's 3-0 win over Monza.
ImpactKjaer played two/third of the game coming off a lengthy absence and was fine in the back. He'll be a regular with Pierre Kalulu and Malick Thiaw out long-term due to thigh injuries, but it remains to be determined whether he'll be managed in the upcoming Salernitana game since he was clearly not fully fit, Davide Calabria will be back from suspension and Jan-Carlo Simic showed well in his debut.

Patrick Ciurria - Attempts five crosses, four shotsCiurria generated four shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 3-0 defeat versus AC Milan.
ImpactCiurria attempted at least five crosses and more than three shots for the first time early-October. He has been relatively quiet for the past two months. But ideally for Ciurria, his latest effort begins a strong run of form that can help him get back on track.
