Soualiho Meite - Suspended for Verona game Meite registered two interceptions and one shot on target, won seven duels, and picked up his fifth yellow card in Wednesday's 0-1 loss versus Juventus.

Impact Meite focused on the dirty work given the challenging nature of the match-up, and fared decently on that end. He'll have to miss Monday's match versus Verona due to yellow-card accumulation. If Santiago Ascacibar doesn't recover, Cremonese could turn to Tommaso Milanese or Cristian Buonaiuto.

Alex Ferrari - Holds his own versus Juventus Ferrari had two tackles (one won), two clearances, and three interceptions in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat to Juventus.

Impact Ferrari got the nod right away over some of the previous starters a few days after joining, which should bode well for his playing time going forward. He'll have to compete with Jack Hendry, Emanuel Aiwu, and eventually Vlad Chiriches, who's currently hurt.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michele Castagnetti - Creates three chances versus Juventus Castagnetti created three scoring chances and had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate), and one corner in Wednesday's 0-1 loss versus Juventus.

Charles Pickel - Wins ten duels versus Juventus Pickel had three clearances and one interception and won one of three tackles and ten duels in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat versus Juventus.

Leonardo Sernicola - Delivers seven crosses in Juventus clash Sernicola won two of two tackles, drew one foul, and had one shot (zero on goal) and seven crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat against Juventus.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

David Okereke - Struggles versus Juventus Okereke had two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-1 loss versus Juventus.

He has hit the net once in the past four matches, logging seven shots (three on target), four chances created, and four crosses (one accurate). Cremonese will face Verona away Monday.

Cyriel Dessers - Hits post versus Juventus Dessers drew two fouls, won three duels, and had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-1 loss to Juventus.

Impact Dessers led his team in shots and had the best chance of the game, as he fired off from the left-hand portion of the box on a counter in the second half, but his shot rattled the woodwork. He has scored his two lone seasonal goals in the last seven matches, adding six shots (three on target), five chances created, and one inaccurate cross. Cremonese will face Verona away Monday.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Carnesecchi - Beaten once by Juventus Carnesecchi recorded seven saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat against Juventus.

Impact Carnesecchi was outstanding and put his hands on several solid attempts, but Arkadiusz Milik beat him in the stoppage time with a cheeky free kick. He has surrendered eight goals, made 26 saves, and kept two clean sheets in seven starts. Cremonese will face Verona away Monday.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andrei Radu - Remains shelved Radu (foot) wasn't named in Cremonese's squad list to face Juventus Wednesday.

Santiago Ascacibar - Will sit Juventus clash Ascacibar will skip Wednesday's match against Juventus due to a last-minute problem, coach Massimiliano Alvini informed.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vlad Chiriches - Out against Juventus Chiriches (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's match versus Juventus, coach Massimiliano Alvini announced.

Impact Chiriches has reportedly suffered a muscular injury after shaking off an ankle sprain, but the club didn't disclose its severity. The recent addition of Alex Ferrari in the back might not bode well for his timetable. Jack Hendry, Matteo Bianchetti, and Emmanuel Aiwu will also contribute to filling in defensively.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Ferrari - Transfers to Cremonese Ferrari has moved to Cremonese on a season-long loan, Sampdoria announced.

Impact Ferrari has been a regular, but the new coach evidently prefers other options, and Sampdoria will get new pieces from the transfer market. He'll provide Cremonese with another veteran option in the back, given Vlad Chiriches' injury woes. He has posted nine tackles, 19 interceptions, 24 clearances, and ten blocks in 12 appearances so far.

JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vlad Chiriches - Back on the shelf Chiriches missed a friendly versus Torino and won't be available for an upcoming one versus Udinese because he's hurt, La Provincia reports.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Vlad Chiriches - Returns in friendly Chiriches (ankle) got the start in Wednesday's match versus Desenzano, Cremonese announced.

Impact Chiriches needed some extra days to return to full training, but he was able to shake off his lingering ankle injury relatively early in the break, and he'll be good to go for the Juventus clash in early January. He had a pivotal role before getting hurt in mid-September. His return will likely affect Matteo Bianchetti, Jack Hendry, and Emmanuel Aiwu's minutes. He posted 18 tackles, 13 interceptions, nine clearances, and six blocks in five appearances, contributing to one clean sheet.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Andrei Radu - Unavailable for friendly Radu (foot) wasn't an option in Thursday's friendly versus Salsomaggiore, Cremonese informs.

He has registered five chances created, 34 crosses (seven accurate), eight tackels, and five interceptions in 12 appearances (three starts).

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Zanimacchia - Subs in well versus Empoli Zanimacchia drew one foul and had three shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate), and one chance created in 28 minutes in Friday's 0-2 loss versus Empoli.

Impact Zanimacchi put up good numbers considering his limited playing time, but he also didn't have great touch. He has fallen a little out of favor in the final month, partly due to an injury, as he didn't start in the last four matches. He will likely have to split time with Cristian Buonaiuto the rest of the way. He has posted 18 shots (four on target), 11 chances created, 42 crosses (13 accurate), and 19 tackels in 12 appearances (eight starts).

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Emanuel Aiwu - Logs three interceptions against Empoli Aiwu won three of three tackles and seven duels, and had three clearances and three interceptions in Friday's 0-2 loss against Empoli.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

He has scored and assisted once in 12 appearances, adding 13 shots (four on target), 11 chances created, and 43 crosses (16 accurate).

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Buonaiuto - Productive versus Empoli Buonaiuto created three scoring chances and had five shots (two on goal), seven crosses (two accurate), and seven corners in Friday's 0-2 loss against Empoli.

Impact Buonaiuto led his team in both shots and chances and has seen an uptick in playing time while Cyriel Dessers and Luca Zanimacchia dealt with some injuries. His versatility and contribution should keep him involved in the second half of the season even if he returns to a bench role. He has logged 19 shots (six on target), nine chances created, and 35 crosses (seven accurate) in 11 appearances (two starts).

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

David Okereke - Silent in Empoli game Okereke had three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and two chances created in Friday's 0-2 defeat against Empoli.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cyriel Dessers - Comes off bench in Empoli game Dessers (thigh) had one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in 21 minutes in Friday's 0-2 loss to Empoli.

Impact Dessers shook off a thigh contusion, but he only saw limited action and didn't have an impact in his cameo. He has started most games where he was available in the first portion of the campaign, logging two goals, one assist, 27 shots, and 13 chances created. Cremonese will host Juventus on January 4th.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Santiago Ascacibar - Workmanlike versus Empoli Ascacibar (thigh) created one scoring chance and had two tackles (one won), two clearances, and two interceptions in Friday's 0-2 defeat against Empoli.

He has posted 14 shots (three on target), eight chances created, 27 tackles, and 13 interceptions in 12 games (seven starts).
