Impact Sepe wasn't really tested and had a quiet outing, as they played up one man since the end of the first half. The goalkeeper kept his first clean sheet of the season, though, after conceding once in their debut. He will now look for another against Sampdoria on Sunday.

Lassana Coulibaly - Late scratch for Udinese tilt Coulibaly is absent for Saturday's game versus Udinese due to a late muscular problem, DAZN reported.

Impact Coulibaly was originally called up but felt some discomfort on game-day and will be better assessed early next week to determine whether he could recover for the ensuing contest against Sampdoria. Ivan Radovanovic got the start in his place and then was replaced by Filip Bradaric, with Antonio Candreva moving to a more central role.

Grigoris Kastanos - Unavailable versus Udinese Kastanos will miss Saturday's game against Udinese because he's under the weather, coach Davide Nicola informed.

Impact Kastanos has been unable to practice in the lead-up to the game and will sit out this one. The gaffer hinted at newcomer Giulio Maggiore starting in his place, citing also Ivan Radovanovic as a possibility. Lassana Coulibaly and Tonny Vilhena are poised to stay in the XI.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Pirola - Out for Udinese game Pirola will miss Saturday's match versus Udinese due to a recent illness, coach Davide Nicola informed.

Impact Pirola didn't feature in the opener as he dropped down a few notches in the pecking order with Dylan Bronn joining last week and Ivan Radovanovic recovering from a pre-season injury. One of the two will join Norbert Gyomber and Federico Fazio in the back in this one.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Boulaye Dia - Loaned to Salernitana Dia has joined Salernitana on a season-long loan from Villarreal, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Dia tallied five goals and five assists in 25 La Liga appearances (13 starts) in his first season with Villarreal last year. It was not a bad return by any means, but the club has so much depth up front that he needed to move away in order to secure more playing time. He has chosen a move to Italy for this campaign with Salernitana, where he will challenge Federico Bonazzoli and Erik Botheim for a starting spot in the front-two.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pasquale Mazzocchi - Extends contract through 2026 Mazzocchi signed a contract extension with Salernitana through 2026, it was announced Thursday.

Impact Mazzocchi hasn't done much in the new campaign but racked up two assists in 30 starts between Salernitana and Venezia last season. While his value may not be the highest in a lesser side, he's still capable of getting involved offensively.

Pasquale Mazzocchi - Creates one chance against Roma Mazzocchi sent in one accurate cross, won one tackle, had one block and created one scoring chance in 62 minutes in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Salernitana.

Impact Mazzocchi wanted out earlier in the summer, but it looks like he will be getting a new contract soon and will continue to be a starter, moving to from the right to the left flank following the arrival of Antonio Candreva. His backups will be Filip Bradaric and Junior Sambia.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Giulio Maggiore - Moves to Salernitana Maggiore has agreed to a four-year contract upon joining Salernitana from Spezia, the team announced.

Impact Maggiore had been seeking to leave Spezia, also due to a short-term deal, and Salernitana beat out bigger sides to capture his services. He tallied two goals, three assists, 42 shots (eight on target) and 58 tackles in 35 appearances last season. His arrival will likely impact Grigoris Kastanos and Lassana Coulibaly's minutes.

AUGUST 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tonny Vilhena - Leads team in shots in Roma clash Vilhena won two of five tackles and eight duels, took four shots (zero on target) and sent in two inaccurate crosses in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

Impact Vilhena fired off at will, especially from long range, but he never really came close to the mark. He was pretty good in the defensive phase. He tallied one goal, one assist, 15 shots three on target) and 11 chances in 17 appearances with Espanyol last season.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Fazio - Logs four interceptions against Roma Fazio had four interceptions and three clearances, won three duels and took two off-target shots in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Bronn - Puts up numbers against Roma Bronn had four blocks, five clearances and two interceptions and won two duels in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Candreva - Paces team in crosses and chances Candreva took two shots (zero on target), sent in seven crosses (four accurate), created four scoring chances and drew one foul in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

Impact Candreva drew the start right away despite joining the club very recently and had one of his typical performances, serving as a major creative outlet out on the flank and uncorking multiple dangerous set pieces. His numbers might not take a big hit despite the transfer to a smaller and more defensive-minded club. Salernitana will face Udinese away Saturday.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Bonazzoli - Takes three shots against Roma Bonazzoli fired three shots (one on target), created one scoring chance, drew one foul and won three duels in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Radovanovic - Doesn't play against Roma Radovanovic (calf) didn't feature in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

Impact Radovanovic was on the bench but he didn't play after recovering from a calf problem. He will try to challenge one of the three defenders who started in this one, and fared decently, in Saturday's away game versus Udinese.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Domagoj Bradaric - Unused versus Roma Bradaric (thigh) didn't feature in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

Impact Bradaric shook off a thigh strain but it was too early for him to play. The recent arrival of Antonio Candreva, and Pasquale Mazzocchi moving to the left wing, might not bode well for his playing time since they are more established than him.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luigi Sepe - Concedes once against Roma Sepe had three saves and one accurate keeper-sweeper and allowed one goal in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Roma.

Impact Sepe had a pair of key saves to keep the opponents at bay, but he could do little on a scorcher by Bryan Cristante. He surrendered 24 goals, made 54 saves and kept one clean sheet in 16 matches after joining in January last season. Salernitana will face Udinese away Saturday.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pawel Jaroszynski - Suffers thigh injury Jaroszysnki hasn't been called up as he has been diagnosed with a thigh strain, SportMediaset reports.

Impact Jaroszynski is set to miss two or three more matches on top of the opener. In any case, he's generally a deep reserve in multiple positions for Salernitana, and he's not a lock to still be on the roster past deadline day.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Domagoj Bradaric - Makes squad list for Roma match Bradaric has been called up for Saturday's game against Roma, but coach Davide Nicola hinted that he's not fully healthy.

Impact Bradaric suffered a thigh strain two weeks ago and it would be an extra-quick recovery if he indeed played in this one. The gaffer suggested that Pasquale Mazzocchi will adapt to the left flank in the opener since they are short on options.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Radovanovic - Called up for Roma game Radovanovic (calf) has been named in Salernitana's squad list to face Rom Sunday, although coach Davide Nicola suggested he's not fully ready to play.

Impact Radovanovic has been nursing a calf issue in the last few weeks and shouldn't be far off from being healthy, but he is a long shot to feature in the opener. Lorenzo Pirolo or newcomer Dylan Bronn could fill in for him in the back.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Candreva - Joins Salernitana Candreva joined Salernitana from Sampdoria on Friday.

Impact Candreva is coming off a seven-goal and ten-assist season but dropping down to a club on the lower rungs of the table isn't likely to help his value. Still, all he has to do is take the burden off Frank RIbery and Candreva could continue his fine form for his new team.
