Ondrej Duda - Disqualified again Duda sent in five crosses (three accurate), won two of three tackles, took three off-target shots, and created two scoring chances in Saturday's 2-0 win over Cagliari and will miss...

Impact Duda had one of his best performances of the season to help his side come away with a rare victory, but he'll have to skip another contest a week removed from sitting one due to a red card. Micheal Folorunsho (illness) or Suat Serdar (foot) could make a quick return, or the coach will have to turn to rarely-used players.

Michael Folorunsho - Dealing with the flu Folorunsho was a late scratch because he was under the weather, coach Marco Baroni announced.

Impact Foloruisnho was omitted from the squad list because of the illness and not an injury. Unless it's a particularly severe case, he should be back in the squad, and likely start as usual, versus Salernitana next week.

Michael Folorunsho - Ruled out for Cagliari game Folorunsho isn't in the squad for Saturday's match versus Cagliari due to a last-minute physical problem, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Folorunsho was part of the provisional squad list but will be on the stands for this one, missing his first match of the season. Martin Hongla is taking his place in the midfield.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suat Serdar - Unavailable against Cagliari Serdar will miss Saturday's match versus Cagliari due to a toe injury, coach Marco Baroni announced.

Impact Serdar picked up a bruise in training and will skip at least one game while he undergoes further evaluations. He has played just once in the last six matches, and they'll have Ondrej Duda back from suspension for this match. Backup Riccardo Saponara will have a better chance of getting some minutes while he's out.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Davide Faraoni - Remains sidelined Faraoni "will continue to be unavailable, and we'll evaluate him again next week," coach Marco Baroni relayed.

Impact Faraoni will miss his third consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury. Jackson Tchatchoua and Filippo Terracciano have started consistently as fullbacks in recent matches, backed up by Josh Doig and Juan Cabal.

Filippo Terracciano - Productive in Fiorentina clash Terracciano recorded six crosses (three accurate), three chances created, five interceptions, and four corners in Sunday's 0-1 defeat to Fiorentina.

Impact Terracciano excelled on both ends, as has become the norm for him, and boosted his numbers through a few set pieces. He has registered one assist, six chances created, 21 crosses (nine accurate), and 10 interceptions in the last four fixtures.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Suslov - Active despite loss to Fiorentina Suslov recorded three shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate), one chance created, and two corners in Sunday's 0-1 defeat to Fiorentina.

Impact Suslov featured as a holding midfielder for the majority of the game but was still productive in the final third and did a little bit of everything. The coach has moved him around the formation in recent weeks, but he has generally fared well no matter what. He has assisted twice and added eight chances created, eight shots, and 14 crosses (five accurate) in the last five games.

Michael Folorunsho - Lively versus Fiorentina Folorunsho recorded four shots (zero on goal), four tackles (one won), 10 successful duels, and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Fiorentina.

Impact Folorunsho played more offensively than usual, paced his team in shots, although with little touch, and conquered a PK in the early going by pressuring the goalkeeper. He has tallied nine shots (zero on target), 12 tackles, and three crosses (zero accurate) in the last five rounds.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pawel Dawidowicz - Comes off the bench against Fiorentina Dawidowicz (thigh) won three duels and one of one tackle and had four clearances and one off-target shot in 27 minutes in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Dawidowicz bolstered the midfield in his return from injury and put up decent numbers relative to his playing time. Verona might go back to a three-man defense with him, Isak Hien, and Giangiacomo Mangani all healthy now. Otherwise, they'll compete for two spots. He has logged four tackles, two interceptions, and 19 clearances in his last four appearances.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Manuel Cruz - Unused versus Fiorentina Cruz (wrist) didn't play in Sunday's 0-1 defeat against Fiorentina.

Impact Cruz returned from a one-game absence but didn't get minutes as Milan Djuric and Thomas Henry split duties as no.9. Federico Bonazzoli is also ahead of him in the hierarchy, so he'll need some favorable circumstances to get minutes. He has posted one tackle and one interception in two appearances so far.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Hien - Subpar against Fiorentina Hien (thigh) won six duels and one of one tackle and had three clearances and one block in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Hien managed to play the whole game after a muscular injury but didn't rack up stats and was shaky at times, including on the action that led to the lone goal, where he couldn't clear the ball despite having the chance too. His starting job shouldn't be in peril as long as he stays healthy, even though Verona are recovering pieces in the back.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ondrej Duda - Completes suspension Duda cleared a one-game ban in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Verona.

Impact Duda will be back in the Cagliari game after sitting out one tilt following an expulsion. He'll replace either Martin Hongla or Darko Lazovic in the XI. He has started in five of his past six matches, tallying 15 crosses (four accurate), 10 tackles, and seven shots (two on target), with no goal contributions.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Milan Djuric - Missed PK in Fiorentina game Djuric won eight duels, recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created and was denied from the penalty spot in Sunday's 0-1 loss against Fiorentina.

Impact Djuric saw his attempt get parried away by Pietro Terracciano two minutes into the game and was pretty quiet afterward, other than dominating in the air as usual. He has scored twice and added one assist, seven shots (six on target), and three chances created in the last five games. Thomas Henry is becoming a threat to his game time.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cyril Ngonge - Wasteful against Fiorentina Ngonge won four duels, drew two fouls, and recorded three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 0-1 loss against Fiorentina.

Impact Ngonge was lively but didn't capitalize on two major chances from point-blank range early in the game, including a potential tap-in after a saved PK. He has tallied two goals, one assist, 15 shots (eight on target), and four chances created in the last four fixtures. Verona will face Cagliari at home Saturday.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Montipo - Allows one goal in Fiorentina tilt Montipo had two saves and one accurate keeper-sweeper and conceded once in Sunday's 0-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Montipo didn't see many shots come his way but was still beaten as Lucas Beltran found the target from close range with the help of a deflection. He has surrendered eight goals and made 16 saves in the last five games, with no clean sheets. Verona will face Cagliari at home Saturday.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Hien - Will start versus Fiorentina Hien (thigh) is in the XI to face Fiorentina on Sunday.

Impact Hien reclaims his starting job over Diego Coppola after sitting out two weeks because of a minor thigh problem. He has recorded 11 tackles, four interceptions, and 23 clearances in eight seasonal appearances, contributing to one clean sheet.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Juan Manuel Cruz - Called up for Fiorentina match Cruz (wrist) has been named in Verona's squad list to face Fiorentina on Sunday.

Impact Cruz is quickly back in the fold after missing the previous game due to a minor wrist injury. He has played just twice this season, as he has multiple options ahead of him in the offensive depth chart.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Hien - Probable for Fiorentina tilt Hien (thigh) "is fit," coach Marco Baroni announced.

Impact Hien ended up on the stands despite being part of the initial squad list last week, but the staff was just being cautious, and he didn't suffer a new injury. He'll have better chances of making the XI, likely replacing Diego Coppola, with one more clean week of training under his belt. He has logged two tackles, one interception, and 13 clearances in his last three appearances.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Davide Faraoni - Will miss Fiorentina game Faraoni (undisclosed) "will probably return next week," coach Marco Baroni announced.

Impact Faraoni will skip his second contest in a row due to an unspecified muscular injury. Jackson Tchatchoua has been the main beneficiary from his absence.
