Lorenzo Montipo - Blanks Napoli Montipo had one save, one clearance, and one punch and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Napoli.

Impact Montipo remained unbeaten against the top offense in the league as his rearguard protected him well and the opponents had an off day. He had to bat away just a header by Mathias Olivera, while Victor Osimhen rocked the woodwork in the best chance for Napoli. He hadn't logged a clean sheet in six appearances. He has made nine saves and given up six goals in the last five games. Verona will host Bologna Friday.

Josh Doig - Suffers foot problem Doig has been ruled out for Saturday's match against Napoli due to a left-foot sprain, Verona announced.

Impact Doig will undergo more tests after the game and might be forced to sit further games since he got hurt late in the week. Fabio Depaoli is set to start on the right wing since Darko Lazovic is out again as well.

Isak Hien - Logs four clearances in Sassuolo game Hien (thigh) won one of three tackles and had one interception and four clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Sassuolo.

Impact Hien was back in the XI after a month and was sturdy as usual following a thigh injury. He'll anchor the defense the rest of the way if he avoids physical problems, as he's clearly their best contributor in the role. He has posted 54 tackles, 21 interceptions, 58 clearances, and ten blocks in 23 appearances, with four clean sheets.

Diego Coppola - Unused versus Sassuolo Coppola (knee) didn't play in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Coppola was back on the squad list after a knee injury and a suspension, but the coach used different defenders. He'll have better chances of featuring versus Napoli after one more week of practice and with Giangiacomo Magnani suspended. He has appeared 13 times so far, tallying 20 tackles, 12 interceptions, 32 clearances, and six blocks and contributing to two clean sheets.

Milan Djuric - Plays 29 minutes Djuric (knee) played 29 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Djuric was used as a substitute during Verona's latest game. Despite not being a threat in front of goal, his three clearances helped Verona secure a win. Ideally for Djuric, the all-around performance will help him be a regular part of Verona's starting XI, like he was before February.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabio Depaoli - Eligible for Napoli clash Depaoli completed a one-game suspension in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Depaoli will compete with Josh Doig versus Napoli and has often played over the youngster lately. He has logged one key pass, 11 crosses (two accurate), six tackles (five won), and two blocks in his last four appearances.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Veloso - Picks up fifth yellow card against Sassuolo Veloso won one of two tackles, sent in three crosses (zero accurate), took one off-target shot, and was booked for the fifth time in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Veloso was workmanlike in his second consecutive start and won't be an option versus Bologna Saturday. The coach could move Ondrej Duda back to the midfield, inserting one extra attacker in a supporting role.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giangiacomo Magnani - Suspended for Napoli match Magnani had five clearances, three blocks, and one interception and received his fifth yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Magnani had an excellent performance but won't be available next week due to yellow-card accumulation. Pawel Dawidowicz and Diego Coppola will be the primary candidates to replace him in the back.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adolfo Gaich - Scores goal Gaich scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Sassuolo.

Impact Gaich may have only played nine minutes, but they were enough to log his first goal of the 2022-23 Serie A. Likely because of his scoring drought, he had not been playing consistently since being loaned from CSKA Moscow. But ideally for him, Gaich will continue playing more regularly until his loan deal expires.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cyril Ngonge - Records assist Ngonge assisted once to go with six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Despite being a substitute again Saturday, Ngonge received more minutes compared to his previous appearance. He benefited from the extra time, using it to log his first assist since his transfer. With how well Ngonge played on Saturday, it would be a surprise to see him continually benched moving forward.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Ceccherini - Scores goal Ceccherini scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Ceccherini returned as a starter at Juventus on April 1. After the demotion to a bench role Saturday, he stepped up in a big way by scoring Verona's game-equalizing goal. Ideally for Ceccherini, his latest log will influence the team to continue operating him regularly, like they mostly did before his previous thigh injury.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lorenzo Montipo - Records four saves Montipo had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Sassuolo.

Impact Montipo's four saves compensated for the one goal he allowed to Abdou Harroui. However, he will face a difficult task during Verona's next game, currently scheduled at Napoli on April 15. Napoli remains the only team to be averaging multiple goals across the 2022-23 Serie A.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Hien - Starting against Sassuolo Hien (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Sassuolo.

Impact Hien was a late scratch last week due to a minor thigh problem, but he returns to the side and will start at the back. He has registered nine tackles (six won), one interception, 14 clearances, and four blocks in his last five appearances, with two clean sheets.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Coppola - Available against Sassuolo Coppola (knee) has been named in Verona's squad list to face Sassuolo Saturday.

Impact Coppola missed the previous game due to a suspension and was diagnosed with a knee injury during the break, but he has managed to recuperate pretty quickly. He had started three matches before getting hurt, registering two tackles (both won), four interceptions, eight clearances, and two blocks.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Darko Lazovic - Remains sidelined Lazovic (thigh) hasn't been called up for Saturday's fixture versus Sassuolo.

Impact Lazovic will miss the second match in a row due to a muscular problem. Kevin Lasagna and Ondrej Duda got the start in his role last week, but Simone Verdi and Cyril Ngonge figure to be in better shape for this one.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Isak Hien - Available versus Sassuolo Hien (thigh) has been called up for Saturday's clash with Sassuolo, Verona informed.

Impact Hien was a late scratch last week due to a minor thigh problem. He has good chances to return to the XI, replacing either Federico Ceccherini or Pawel Dawidowicz. He has registered nine tackles (six won), one interception, 14 clearances, and four blocks in his last five appearances, with two clean sheets.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Milan Djuric - Selected for Sassuolo match Djuric (knee) is part of the squad list for Saturday's game against Sassuolo, Verona announced.

Impact Djuric has improved enough from a knee problem to be an option and could push Alfonso Gaich for the starting job if in good enough shape. He has notched one off-target shot, six chances crated, and two tackles in his last five appearances.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adrien Tameze - Wins four tackles in Juventus game Tameze generated two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created and won four of four tackles and six duels in Saturday's 0-1 defeat against Juventus.

Impact Tameze did a little bit of everything and helped his defense with his muscularity in the midfield. He has logged two chances created, five crosses (one accurate), ten tackles (seven won), and five interceptions in the last five fixtures.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Giangiacomo Magnani - Physical against Juventus Magnani won three of three tackles and eight duels and had seven clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-1 loss against Juventus.

Impact Magnani logged another excellent showing in the back, but Verona conceded once again, although they limited the damage considering the match-up. He has registered five tackles (four won), three interceptions, 12 clearances, and two blocks in the past five matches, with one clean sheet.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ondrej Duda - Workmanlike versus Juventus Duda had two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate), two tackles (one won), and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Juventus.

Impact Duda played as a no.10 in this one, but that only slightly improved his offensive production. He has notched seven shots (three on target), one key passes, five crosses (one accurate), and eight tackles (seven won) in the last five games.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Lasagna - Creates two chances in Juventus clash Lasagna recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 0-1 loss versus Juventus.

Impact Lasagna tried to generate some interesting situations with his movement, but Verona didn't manage to break through or come up with clear-cut scoring opportunities. He has tallied eight shots (one on target), five chances created, and two crosses (one accurate) in his last five appearances.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabio Depaoli - Suspended for Sassuolo game Depaoli won four tackles and had two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) and picked up his fifth yellow card in Saturday's 0-1 loss versus Juventus.

Impact Depaoli had a decent showing on both ends but will have to sit one out due to yellow-card accumulation. Either Josh Doig or Darko Lazovic (thigh) will man the left flank versus Sassuolo.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adolfo Gaich - Misfires versus Juventus Gaich generated three shots (one on goal), won five duels, and drew two fouls in Saturday's 0-1 defeat versus Juventus.

Impact Gaich led his team in attempts, but he didn't truly take advantage of them and wasn't dangerous. He's still scoreless since joining in January. He has posted 12 shots (three on target), two key passes, and four tackles (three won) in the last five games.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Verdi - Swings in two crosses versus Juventus Verdi (thigh) registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate), one chance created, and one corner in Saturday's 0-1 defeat to Juventus.

Impact Verdi was reasonably effective in his cameo following a thigh strain and might have done enough to earn a regular role lately. He has scored once and added two shots (one on target), five chances created, and nine crosses (three accurate) in his last five appearances. Verona will host Sassuolo Saturday.
