Impact Dermaku didn't get minutes in his return, and he'll have trouble finding them the rest of the way since he's behind Federico Baschirotto, Marin Pongracic, and Ahmed Touba in the defensive pecking order.

Nicola Sansone - Scores and assists in Milan game Sansone scored one goal and assisted once from four shots (one on target) and one chance created in 27 minutes in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AC Milan.
Impact Sansone was a ball of energy off the bench and led his team's fightback with a tap-in and a great square ball for Lameck Banda. He'll get more minutes with Pontus Almqvist (thigh) sidelined. He has played six times so far, recording one assist prior to this game, six shots (one on target), and two key passes.
NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wladimiro Falcone - Concedes twice versus Milan Falcone made five saves, two clearances, and one punch, and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AC Milan.

NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kastriot Dermaku - Called up for Milan game Dermaku (thigh) has been selected for Saturday's fixture versus Milan, Lecce announced.
Impact Dermaku returns to the squad after missing nearly three months due to a muscular problem. He was already a deep option before the injury, and that's unlikely to change in the coming matches. He played just once last season as well.
NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pontus Almqvist - Suffers thigh strain Almqvist picked up a grade-one biceps femoris lesion in his right thigh in practice, Lecce announced.
Impact Almqvist will be out for three-to-four weeks, thus most likely missing a game or two after the break as well, on top of the upcoming Milan one. Gabriel Stefezza and Lameck Banda are poised to man the wings in relief, while Nicola Sansone will be the top deputy.
NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alexis Blin - Unused versus Roma Blin (foot) didn't play in Sunday's 1-2 loss to Roma.
Impact Blin returned from a tricky foot injury but didn't get minutes. He's behind Ylber Ramadani, Mohamed Kaba, and Joan Gonzalez as far as defensive-minded midfielders go, so he'll have to wait for his opportunity. He could see some actions in the back too in a pinch.
NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

He earned his assist on the opening goal of the match, finding Pontus Almqvist in the 71st minute to take the lead.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pontus Almqvist - Nets opener in loss Almqvist scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Roma.

This was the forward second goal of the season, marking his first since their season opener. However, he looks to be one of Leece's main options up top, starting in every match so far this season.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wladimiro Falcone - Allows two against Roma Falcone made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Roma.
Impact Falcone did his best to hold Roma, making a penalty save in the fifth minute, but ultimately fell victim, allowing two goals in stoppage time, handing Roma the win. The goalie has now gone six matches without a clean sheet, with his last coming on Sept. 22 against Genoa. He may be looking at a streak of seven games without a clean sheet next match, as Lecce hosts AC Milan.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alexis Blin - Called up for Roma clash Blin (foot) has been named in Lecce's squad list to face Roma Sunday.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marin Pongracic - Logs five clearances against Torino Pongracic won four duels and had two interceptions and five clerances in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Torino.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Remi Oudin - Creates two chances versus Torino Oudin generated one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate), two key passes, and one corner in Saturday's 0-1 defeat versus Torino.
Impact Oudin headed back to the bench after starting last week but still had a solid showing and generally seems more effective as a sub. He and Hamza Rafia will likely continue to split time. He has logged 11 chances created, 29 crosses (six accurate), and four shots (two on target) in six appearances (two starts).
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

He has tallied 17 shots (five on target), six chances created, and three tackels during such a stretch. Lecce will face Roma away next Sunday.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lameck Banda - Takes four shots versus Torino Banda won three duels and recorded four shots (three on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-1 loss against Torino.
Impact Banda was the main driving force of the offense and paced his team in attempts but wasn't very clutch when it came to finishing. He has yet to score this season, while he has provided two assists. He has notched 12 shots (eight on target), ten key passes, and 12 crosses (three accurate) in six appearances.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wladimiro Falcone - Beaten once by Torino Falcone had one save and conceded one goal in Saturday's 0-1 loss against Torino.
Impact Falcone wasn't called into action much and could do little on a point-blank finish by Alessandro Buongiorno. He hasn't kept a clean sheet in five matches, where he has given up eight goals and made 11 saves. Lecce will face Roma away next Sunday.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Antonino Gallo - Notches four crosses Gallo recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Udinese.
Impact Gallo had a lackluster match on Monday, notching one shot, two chances created and four crosses, following suit of a very average season so far. He earned an assist off the bench in the first match of the season, but since then, he hasn't registered another in his seven starts. He seems poised to hold on to the starting left-back role but will have to produce more of a contribution before he can be considered a decent fantasy option.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Sansone was one of the heroes in Monday's match, finding Roberto Piccoli in the 83rd minute to tie the game. Sansone earned his first goal contribution since joining the club with this assist and did it all despite only being used as a substitute in the late stages of the match. He has only compiled 55 minutes of play since joining the club and will hope to earn more time after a decent performance on Monday.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lameck Banda - Comes off the bench versus Udinese Banda (thigh) had three touches, drew one foul, and created one scoring chance in 23 minutes in Monday's 1-1 draw with Udinese.
Impact Banda made his first sub appearances of the season after missing a month due to a thigh strain. Gabriel Strefezza and Pontus Almqvist have done well while he was out, and the three wingers will likely share time in two spots in the upcoming matches.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kastriot Dermaku - Will continue to miss time Dermaku (thigh) has remained limited in practice ahead of Monday's away game versus Udinese, Lecce announced.
Impact Dermaku has been absent since mid-September and will stay on the shelf through the second international break. He'll be a deep option defensively once he's ready to return.
OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lameck Banda - Set to return versus Udinese Banda (thigh) trained with no limitation on Wednesday, Lecce announced.
Impact Banda has recuperated from a thigh problem that cost him the last four games and will resume being an option versus Udinese Monday. He started consistently over Gabriel Strefezza, with Pontus Almqvist on the other flank, to open the season, but he might be eased into action at first. He has tallied two assists, eight shots (five on target), nine key passes, and nine crosses (three accurate) in four matches.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gabriel Strefezza - Tracks back well in draw Strefezza registered three shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Friday's 1-1 draw against Sassuolo.
