Mert Cetin - Subs off early versus Inter Cetin limped off after just 21 minutes in Sunday's game against Inter after recording one interception and one clearance.

Impact Cetin tried to play through an ankle sprain but appeared to aggravate it early in the match. He'll likely be fully assessed in the next few days. He was replaced by Alexis Blin, who joined Federico Baschirotto in the middle of the defense.

Mert Cetin - Starting against Inter Cetin (ankle) is in Lecce's starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Inter Milan.

Impact Cetin carried an injury designation into Saturday's game after picking up an ankle sprain, but he is fit enough to get the start in central defense.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mert Cetin - Questionable for Inter game Cetin has been called up but he's in doubt for Saturday's match versus Inter due to an ankle sprain, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Impact Cetin is the only pure center-back currently available given the injuries to Alessandro Tuia and Kastriot Dermaku, but he will have to pass a late fitness test to get the nod, otherwise Alexis Blin and Valentin Gendrey will likely adapt to the role, opening up a spot for Federico Baschirotto and a midfielder.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Samek - Ruled out for Inter game Samek didn't make Lecce's squad list to face Inter Saturday.

Impact Samek is absent for unknown reasons and might have suffered a late injury since he wasn't listed among those being limited in practice in the last few days. Lecce will be pretty thin in the midfield since Kristoffer Askildsen is out with an illness and Alexis Blin will likely play in the back.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kristoffer Askildsen - Will miss Inter game Askildsen will sit out Saturday's match versus Inter due to a stomach bug, Lecce informed.

Impact Askildsen has sat out multiple practices due to the illness and he is not at his coach's disposal for this one. Lecce are down to Morten Hjulmand, Kristijan Bistrovic, Thohir Helgason, Joan Gonzalez and Daniel Samek in the midfield.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alessandro Tuia - Will miss Inter clash Tuia (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus Inter.

Impact Tuia hasn't been able to shake off an unspecified muscular problem that already sidelined him in Coppa Italia. With Kastriot Dermaku also unavailable, two among Alexis Blin, Mert Cetin and Valentin Gendrey will play in the middle of the defense.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kastriot Dermaku - Diagnosed with strain Dermaku has suffered a biceps femoris strain in the left thigh in the recent match against Cittadella, Lecce announced.

Impact Dermaku will have to sit out three-to-four weeks because of the issue and will skip multiple matches. Lecce recently added Mert Cetin in the back and also has Alexis Blin, Valentin Gendrey, Alessandro Tuia and Arturo Calabresi has options in the role.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mert Cetin - Moves to Lecce Cetin has joined Lecce on a season-long loan with option to buy from Verona, the teams announced.

Impact Cetin failed to impress after transferring from Roma a couple of years ago and spent the second half of last season at Kayserispor. Despite that, he could have a primary role right away since Lecce have a few injury concerns in the back. He has logged 14 tackles, 18 interceptions, 23 clearances and nine blocks in 14 appearances (six starts) in Serie A so far.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kastriot Dermaku - Subs off against Cittadella Dermaku bowed out in the first half of Friday's cup game against Cittadella due to an apparent muscular injury, TeleNuovo reports.

Impact Dermaku will be assessed in the next few days to determine whether the issue is minor enough to allow him to play in the opener against Inter. Lecce might be without the other starting center-back Alessandro Tuia too, who's also hurt. Fullback Valentin Gendrey moved to the middle when Dermaku subbed off, partnering with Alexis Blin, while Federico Baschirotto came in to man the right flank.

AUGUST 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alessandro Tuia - Ruled out for cup game Tuia will miss Friday's Coppa Itala match versus Cittadella due to an undisclosed injury, Lecce informed.

Impact Tuia is reportedly dealing with an unspecified muscular problem and is questionable for the opener against Inter. Midfielder Alexis Blin is likely to adapt to the defense and join Kastriot Dermaku in the back for the cup fixture, and that could be the case also for the Inter clash.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Arturo Calabresi - Suspended for opener Calabresi will miss next Saturday's game versus Inter due to a one-game disqualification stemming from last season.

Impact Calabresi picked up his fifth yellow card in the final matchday. He's not a lock to stay on the roster past deadline day, but he hasn't left yet and will therefore provide depth in multiple defensive roles. Valentin Gendrey, Kastiot Dermaku, Alessandro Tuia and Gianluca Frabotta will open the season as the starters.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Di Francesco - Joins Lecce Di Francesco has transferred to Lecce on a permanent deal from SPAL, the teams announced.

Impact Di Francesco wasn't bought out by Empoli despite a decent loan spell but returns to Serie A in a different team. He should quickly supplant last year's regulars Francesco Di Mariano and Marcin Listkowski on the wings, but he often dealt with injuries in recent campaigns. He posted five goals, 26 shots (eight on target), 14 chances and 38 crosses (three accurate) in 26 appearances (17 starts) in 2021/2022.

JULY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Samek - Joins Lecce Samek has agreed to a five-year contract with Lecce after moving from Slavia Prague, the team announced.

Impact Samek already has 31 appearances among the pro despite his young age, and he has tallied three goals and four assists. He will look to work his way up the pecking order in his first season in Italy.

JULY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kristijan Bistrovic - Joins Lecce Bistrovic has moved to Lecce on a season-long loan with option to buy from CSKA Moscow, the team announced.

Impact Bistrovic played in Turkey at Kasimpasa and Karagumruk in the two most recent seasons, posting one goal and six assists in 38 appearances. He has tallied 12 shots (four on target), three chances, 18 crosses (eight accurate) and 13 tackles in 12 matches in Europa League with CSKA Moscow in the recent past.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kristoffer Askildsen - Transfers to Lecce Askildsen has moved to Lecce on a season-long loan from Sampdoria, the two clubs announced.

Impact Askildsen will look to get more consistent playing time for the newly promoted team after being a rotational player for Sampdoria in the last few seasons. He recorded seven off-target shots, two chances, 18 tackles and 15 interceptions in 19 appearances (seven starts) in 2021/2022.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wladimiro Falcone - Moves to Lecce Falcone has joined Lecce on a season-long loan from Sampdoria, the teams announced.

Impact Falcone was pretty good in a run of starts when Emil Audero picked up an injury last season, allowing 14 goals, making 42 saves and keeping two clean sheets in ten appearances. He will be the top option in Lecce, as the previous starter Gabriel left the club.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Baschirotto - Moves to Lecce Baschirotto has signed a three-year contract with Lecce upon joining from Ascoli, the club announced.

Impact Baschirotto will have the opportunity to debut in Serie A after multiple solid seasons in the lower leagues. He scored four times in 31 appearances in the most recent one. He will likely be the top backup on both defensive flanks given his versatility.

JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Colombo - Transfers to Lecce Colombo has joined Lecce on a season-long loan from Milan, the teams announced.

Impact Colombo logged six goals and one assist in 34 matches with SPAL last season and can play in any offensive position, therefore he has decent chances to be able to find meaningful playing time next season.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Frabotta - Moves to Lecce Frabotta has joined Lecce on a season-long loan from Juventus, the team announced.

Impact Frabotta barely played last season at Verona due to multiple injuries and the quality of their other options in the role. Lecce let go last season's starter Antonio Barreca but might bring in some competition later on. He notched one assist, 32 crosses (seven accurate), 14 tackles and 12 clearances in 15 appearances (eight starts) with Juventus in 2020/2021.
