Luigi Sepe - Remains on mend Sepe (calf) hasn't been named in Salernitana's squad list to face Atalanta Sunday.

Impact Sepe has been out for a month due to a calf strain and hasn't returned to practice in any capacity. The team added Guillermo Ochoa to fill in for him, a sign that they don't expect him to return soon. He'll probably be a backup once he's fit, as the newcomer has fared convincingly.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Bronn - Will miss Atalanta game Bronn is out for Sunday's match versus Atalanta, coach Davide Nicola announced.

Impact Bronn will skip this one, but the manager didn't disclose whether he suffered an injury of if he's battling an illness. He added that Norbert Gyomber isn't ready for full minutes after an extended absence, so Matteo Lovato should get the nod in this one.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Flavius Daniliuc - Will miss Atalanta game Daniliuc won one tackle, had two clearances, and one block, and picked up his fifth yellow card in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Torino.

Impact Daniliuc returned to the XI after being a sub in the previous match, but he didn't have a remarkable showing and will have to miss one game due to yellow-card accumulation. Ivan Radovanovic or Norbert Gyomber will replace him in the next tilt.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lassana Coulibaly - Available versus Atalanta Coulibaly completed his one-game ban in Sunday's 1-1 tie with Torino.

Impact Coulibaly missed one game due to yellow-card accumulation. He'll be back in the Xi in Sunday's away game versus Atalanta, replacing one of the midfielders that started in the most recent round. He has registered one goal, two assists, 46 tackles, and ten chances created in 15 games.

JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Norbert Gyomber - Records one interception Gyomber had one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Torino.

Impact Gyomber was able to log his first appearance since October. Despite being a backup Sunday, fantasy managers should not be surprised if he is part of Salernitana's starting XI again sooner than later. Gyomber started 10 of 12 games the team played from August to October.

Antonio Candreva - Attempts 10 crosses Candreva recorded three shots (two on goal), 10 crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Torino. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 22nd minu...

Impact Despite not being able to log an assist, Candreva's latest log indicates how valued a contributor he can be for Salernitana during 2023. Currently, the wide midfielder is averaging 6.9 crosses across the 2022-23 Serie A. After much rest from the 2022 FIFA World Cup and a suspension, Candreva should be rejuvenated enough.

Impact Vilhena took advantage of a failed Mergim Vojvoda pass to log his second goal of the 2022-23 Serie A. Fantasy managers should expect him to continue being one of Salernitana's preferred midfielders, albeit one that does not regularly log much fantasy value. Vilhena recorded seven games started across the team's last 11 games played.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Guillermo Ochoa - Makes seven saves Ochoa had seven saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Torino.

Impact Despite allowing a goal to Antonio Sanabria, Ochoa's seven saves compensated for the concession. Since the 2022 FIFA World Cup, he seems rejuvenated and is a promising goalkeeper fantasy managers should consider using while his momentum is hot.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Norbert Gyomber - Available versus Torino Gyomber (thigh) has been called up for Sunday's match against Torino, Salernitana announced.

Impact Gyomber was held out for the previous game due to lack of conditioning following a thigh strain, but a couple more practice sessions were enough to convince the coach to call him up. He will be in the mix for a spot with Matteo Lovato, Flavius Daniliuc, and Ivan Radovanovic. He has registered 14 tackles, 11 interceptions, 34 clearances, and 11 blocks in 11 appearances so far, contributing to one clean sheet.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Junior Sambia - Energetic versus Milan Sambia drew two fouls and had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against AC Milan.

Impact Sambia filled in for Antonio Candreva (suspension) and Pasquale Mazzocchi (knee) on the right flank and was decent on offense, although very imprecise, and pretty boor in the back. He has barely played so far, but he could get some spots minutes until Mazzocchi recovers.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Bohinen - Busy versus Milan Bohinen drew two fouls and registered three tackles (two won), two clearances, and two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 loss against AC Milan.

Impact Bohinen shined on the defensive end in a challenging match-up and added a key pass for good measure. A knee problem hampered him in the first half of the season, but he's set to be a regular as he was in the previous one now that he's healthier. He has tallied two off-target shots, two chances created, eight tackles, and three interceptions in seven appearances (two starts).

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Candreva - Clears suspension Candreva completed his one-game ban in Wednesday's 1-2 loss to Milan.

Impact Candreva was sent off in the final match of 2022. He's set to return to the XI versus Torino, replacing either Junior Sambia on the flank or filling in for the suspended Lassana Coulibaly in a more central role. He has registered two goals, one assist, 18 shots (six on target), and 100 crosses (17 accurate) in 15 appearances.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Norbert Gyomber - Needs more time Gyomber (thigh) "isn't ready and won't be called up" for Wednesday's game versus Milan, coach Davide Nicola stated.

Impact Gyomber has been practicing regularly for a while, but he didn't participate in any December friendly, and he might be lacking conditioning following a thigh strain. Salernitana will lean more on Matteo Lovato, Dylan Bronn, and Ivan Radovanovic with Gyomber still shelved for the time being.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Guillermo Ochoa - Signs with Salernitana Ochoa has agreed to a six-month contract with an option for another year, Salernitana announced.

Impact Ochoa had a solid World Cup and will replace Luigi Sepe (calf) in the short term, as the teammate is going to miss multiple matches in January. The two will battle it out afterward. He heads back to Europe after four years with America in Mexico. He allowed three goals, made three saves, including a PK, and kept one clean sheet in three appearances in Qatar. Instead, he parried away 50 shots, was beaten 21 times, and blanked the opponents on seven occasions in 20 matches with his previous club in 2022.
