Impact Busio may be seeing a short run at the 2024 Summer Olympics, as he was forced off the field early due to an injury. This is a brutal turn for the midfielder, as he was set to hold a decent role throughout the Olympics and is only three weeks away from the start of his club season. It is unknown what the issue is at the time, so he will hope it is only minor, possibly returning to the national team to finish out their Olympic run.

He made 29 appearances (26 starts), had six shots (none on target), three assists and no goals this season. Ampadu's focus will now be to assist his Welsh national side win a spot in the World Cup finals. To do this they need to beat either Scotland or Ukraine in the play-off final over the summer.

From Caldara's 31 appearances (30 starts) he had 62 interceptions, 143 clearances, 46 tackles and one goal. He delivered only three clean sheets which is a testament to the poor performance of his defensive peers and his team overall as they finish the season bottom of Serie A.

Jean-Pierre Nsame - Unavailable against Cagliari Nsame will miss Sunday's match versus Cagliari because he is getting married, Venezia coach Andrea Soncin informed.

Nsame has not made an impact since joining in January, as he has tallied one assist, five off-target shots and five chances in 11 appearances (one start).

He closes the campaign with seven shots (one on target), 28 crosses (six accurate), 28 tackles and 32 clearances in 19 appearances (12 starts), as he has often been slowed down by muscular problems. He will head back to Benfica since Venezia would have been forced to acquire him after the loan spell only if they stayed in Serie A.
