Ricardo Rodriguez - Doubtful for Monza game Rodriguez (thigh) "doesn't have major problems but is unlikely to be available versus Monza," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Rodriguez escaped without a strain after bowing out last week, but it might be too early for him to feature. He'll be assessed until the final price, and he might not feature even if he's called up. One among David Zima, Saba Sazonov, and Mergim Vojvoda will eventually fill in for him in the back.

This was Sanabira's first goal of the season, as he has struggled to stay on the pitch this campaign due to injuries.
