Impact Thauvin isn't in tip-top shape due to a contusion and might drop to the bench in this one, with Brenner, Iker Bravo or Keinan Davis replacing him next to Lorenzo Lucca.

Florian Thauvin - Questionable for Lecce clash Thauvin "picked up a heavy knock and didn't train for two days after the last game. We'll decide whether to field him Satuday after a further evaluation," coach Kosta Runjaic infor...
Hassane Kamara - Fit for Lecce tilt Kamara (thigh) "is good to go, but I'd like to give him some time to get back in rhythm, plus Jordan Zemura has been fine," coach Kosta Runjaic relayed.
Impact Kamara will return after a brief absence but might be eased off the bench given the coach's words despite getting the nod in every match he's been available for so far. He has assisted once and added five key passes, 12 crosses (six accurate) and eight tackles in four appearances.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Lautaro Giannetti - Will return against Lecce Giannetti (thigh) "has trained fully and will be available against Lecce," coach Kosta Runjaic informed.
Impact Giannetti will be back in the squad and might work his way back into the XI right away since Thomas Kristensen is missing and Christian Kabasele and Isaak Toure haven't been too convincing. He started every game before the hiccup, posting six tackles, eight interceptions and 11 clearances, scoring once and contributing to one clean sheet.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Kristensen - Nursing calf injury Kristensen has sustained a soleous strain in his right calf, Udinese announced.
Impact Kristensen wasn't involved over the weekend while awaiting the results of the test. He missed time earlier in the season due to thigh issues. He'll attempt to recover during the upcoming break. Christian Kabasele and Isaak Toure will keep starting versus unless Lautaro Giannetti (thigh) is fit enough.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Oumar Solet - Signs with Udinese Solet has agreed to a contract until 2027 and will be eligible to play from January on, Udinese announced.
Impact Solet parted ways with RB Salzburg after the end of the previous window and therefore can't play until the start of the new one. He posted 18 tackles, 45 clearances and 13 interceptions in 16 appearances in Europe in recent years.
OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Payero - Will return relatively soon Payero (ankle) has avoided ligament or bone damage, Messaggero Veneto reported.

Kingsley Ehizibue - Passable versus Inter Ehizibue had three crosses (zero accurate), two clearances, one interception and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Inter Milan.
Impact Ehizibue was decent on both ends and came away with a well-rounded stat line. He has played every minute so far and has notched one assist, six key passes, 13 crosses (three accurate) and 10 tackles (eight won).
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jurgen Ekkelenkamp - Active as a sub versus Inter Ekkelenkamp had three crosses (one accurate), one key pass and five corners in 31 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Inter Milan.
Impact Ekkelenkamp provided a spark off the bench with his sharp free kicks but wasn't part of the final goal for his side. He has started over Sandi Lovric just once so far. He has registered three shots (one on target), one chance created and four crosses (two accurate) in six showings.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Florian Thauvin - Delivers nine crosses in Inter game Thauvin generated nine crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Inter Milan.
Impact Thauvic was more involved compared to the previous game but didn't log any other offensive stat besides pacing his team in crosses and tallying a new season high in the category. He has scored twice and added one assist, nine shots (five on target) and six key passes in the last five rounds.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Sandi Lovric - Serviceable against Inter Lovric recorded two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate), one tackle (zero won) and one corner in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Inter Milan.
Impact Lovric was a secondary threat on offense and put up better numbers than in previous matches but left a big chance on the table in the first half, as he was unable to punch in a square ball with a slide in the six-yard box. He's still looking for his first goal contribution. He has notched six off-target shots, one key pass and eight crosses (zero accurate) in six appearances (four starts).
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Kristensen - Ruled out for Inter fixture Kristensen (thigh) wasn't risked altogether in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Inter.
Impact Kristensen wasn't 100 percent and was omitted from the game-day squad list. The defense struggled without him and Lautaro Giannetti (thigh), so his starting job shouldn't be too much in peril once he's fully healthy.

Hassane Kamara - Misses Inter game Kamara (thigh) was a late scratch for Saturday's 3-2 loss to Inter.
Impact Kamara didn't even make the bench due to a minor injury and will look to recuperate for the Lecce game next Saturday, but his replacement Jordan Zemura was bouncy in this one.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Brenner - Sets up teammate in Inter game Brenner assisted once to go with one chance created in 16 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Inter Milan.
Impact Brenner didn't play much and had just seven touches but made them count and was instrumental in the second goal for his side thanks to a great through ball for Lorenzo Lucca. He's been hurt by the coaching experimenting with a more defensive scheme in recent tilts. He's up two one goal, two assists, seven shots (four on target) and four chances created in six appearances (four starts).
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Zemura - Provides assist against Inter Zemura assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Inter Milan.
Impact Zemura drew his second start with Etienne Kamara (thigh) shelved and fully exploited it, dishing his first helper of the season with a precise cross from the right wing that met Christian Kabasele. He might stay in the XI versus Lecce whether his teammate is available or not. He has logged two off-target shots, two key passes and six crosses (four accurate) in four appearances.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Lorenzo Lucca - Hits paydirt versus Inter Lucca scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 defeat versus Inter Milan.
Impact Lucca was used as a sub for the first time in the season but still did damage by beating a high offside trap and resisting a pair of tackles before finishing with aplomb in front of the goalie for his third goal of the season. The sound performance could help him in the competition with Keinan Davis, who's been cutting into his playing time. He has logged seven shots (three on target), three key passes and three tackles (two won) in the last three rounds.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Kabasele - Scores against Inter Kabasele scored one goal to go with four shots (two on target), five clearances and two tackles (zero won) in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Inter Milan.
Impact Kabasele didn't have a particularly encouraging defensive performance, and he wasn't alone in that regard in the back for Udinese, but he temporarily leveled the game with a crafty header from the middle of the box. His permanence in the XI hinges on the returns of Lautaro Giannetti (thigh) and Thomas Kristensen (undisclosed). He has posted six tackles (four won), five interceptions and 13 clerances in five appearances, with no clean sheets.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Maduka Okoye - Poor in Inter clash Okoye recorded four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Inter Milan.
Impact Okoye was inexplicably beaten by a weak attempt by Davide Frattesi very early, while he couldn't do much in the two successful efforts by Lautaro Martinez. He has kept one clean sheet in six rounds, surrendering 10 goals and making 22 saves. Udinese will host Lecce next Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Hassane Kamara - In doubt for Inter fixture Kamara sat out a midweek Coppa Italia game due to muscle fatigue and is a question mark for the Inter clash, coach Kosta Runjaic informed.
Impact Kamara might be outright spared to avoid more substantial problems. Jordan Zemura and Rui Modesto are the alternative options on the left wing.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Kristensen - Questionable for Inter game Kristensen "isn't in great form and might not be fielded versus Inter. He doesn't have a serious injury, but we want to avoid relapses," coach Kosta Runjaic relayed.
Impact Kristensen is dealing with some muscular discomfort and missed time at the beginning of the season due to an injury in the same area. Since Lautaro Giannetti (thigh) is on the mend, Isaak Toure and Christian Kabasele might start next to Jaka Bijol, unless the coach changes his mind or opts for a different tactic.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Lautaro Giannetti - Sidelined for Inter clash Gainnetti (thigh) "is improving and close to coming back, but he'll be out for this one. We'll see whether he'll make it for the next game versus Lecce," coach Kosta Runjaic announ...
Impact Giannetti will miss his second game in a row while tending to a thigh issue. Christian Kabasele or Isaak Toure will take his place in the back.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Payero - Gets hurt midweek Payero "appears to have suffered a serious ankle injury," coach Kosta Runjaic stated following Wednesday's Coppa Italia game against Salernitana.
Impact Payero left the game on a stretch after a tackle and was in significant pain. He's headed for some tests to determine the extent of the issue. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Oier Zarraga and Arthur Atta are the next men up in the midfield.
