Impact Hien will skip the second game in a row due to a thigh injury. Verona could roll with the same center-backs used last week, although Federico Ceccherini should be back after an injury.

Isak Hien - Out against Sampdoria Hien (thigh) won't recover for Sunday's game versus Sampdoria, coach Marco Zaffaroni informed.
Simone Verdi - Picks up thigh strain Verdi suffered a low-grade biceps femoris strain in practice, Verona announced.
Impact Verdi just scored his first goal of the season, but he's back on the mend with another injury, and he's not a lock to be ready for the first game after the break. If Cyril Ngonge (ankle) remains unavailable, the coach could deploy Yayah Kallon and resume utilizing Darko Lazovic as a no.10 versus Sampdoria.

Simone Verdi - Scores goal against Monza Verdi scored a goal and created two chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Monza.
Impact Verdi got the nod in attacking midfield on Sunday and he opened the scoring against Monza. This was just his second Serie A start since October, but he found the net in both of those games.
MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Veloso - Wins one tackle against Monza Veloso (calf) had ten touches, won one tackle and committed one foul in 14 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Monza.
Impact Veloso made a brief cameo in his return from a long absence caused by a calf strain. He's likely to rotate with Adrien Tameze and Ondrej Duda in the midfield the rest of the way. He has posted six shots (one on target), five chances created, 13 crosses (six accurate), and seven tackles (three won) in his last five appearances.
MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lorenzo Montipo - Beaten once by Monza Montipo (illness) had two saves and one clearance and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Monza.
Impact Montipo quickly worked his way back from an illness and couldn't do much on a point-blank finish by Stefano Sensi, while he didn't intervene much afterward. He has kept one clean sheet in five games, surrendering six goals and making 14 saves. Verona will visit Sampdoria Sunday.
MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ondrej Duda - Takes three shots versus Monza Duda (knock) won one tackle, drew three fouls, and took three shots (one on target) in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Monza.
Impact Duda managed to start and go to distance despite a bruise in the previous game and was fairly involved in the final third, although with no points once again. He has recorded eight shots (three on target), three chances created, three inaccurate crosses, and nine tackles (eight won) in the last five matches.
MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Milan Djuric - Comes off bench versus Monza Djuric (knee) drew one foul and had five passes in 22 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Monza.
Impact Djuric returned from a five-week absence, but he didn't do much in his first game back. He'll likely supplant Adolfo Gaich once close to 100 percent. He has scored once and posted eight shots (three on target) and 12 chances in 17 appearances (seven starts).

Impact Djuric has been out for nearly a month after undergoing knee surgery because of a meniscus tear. He'll be eased off the bench if available, with Kevin Lasagna or Adolfo Gaich getting the start. He has notched one goal, five shots (two on target), and eight chances created in his last five appearances.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Veloso - Set to return against Monza Veloso (calf) "is highly likely to be called up for Sunday's game versus Monza," coach Marco Zaffaroni informed.
Impact Veloso has been absent since mid-January due to a lingering calf injury, but the gaffer mentioned him as a possible starter if Ondrej Duda wasn't fully fit. He has notched 12 chances created, 45 crosses (14 accurate), 20 tackles, and seven clearances in 15 appearances.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cyril Ngonge - Ruled out for Monza bout Ngonge (ankle) "is dealing with a sprain that's not too serious, but he won't be available Sunday," coach Marco Zaffaroni informed.
Impact Ngonge will be forced to skip at least one game after turning his ankle last week. Yayah Kallon, Simone Verdi, and Jayden Braaf will be the main candidates to replace him.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ondrej Duda - Should be fine for Monza game Duda "was forced off by a knock and trained on the side early in the week, but he should be available Sunday against Monza," coach Marco Zaffaroni informed.
Impact Duda is set to be an option, although the coach was non-committal about him starting right away, hinting at different solutions. He has notched six shots (two on target), three key passes, six inaccurate crosses, and 12 tackles (nine won) in his last five appearances.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Federico Ceccherini - Could return versus Monza Ceccherini (thigh) "is feeling better and there are good chances he'll be called up against Monza," coach Marco Zaffaroni announced.
Impact Ceccherini should be back in the squad list after missing two games barring a late setback. He hadn't started in three matches prior to the injury, as the coach picked different defenders. He posted five tackles (all won), one interception, seven clearances, and two blocks in his last five appearances, with one clean sheet.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cyril Ngonge - Avoids major injuries Ngonge sprained his left ankle but didn't suffer ligament or bone damage, Verona announced.
Impact Ngonge has been labeled as day-to-day and will likely have to miss some time, but he escaped without a problem that would have knocked him out for multiple weeks. Yayah Kallon or Jayden Braaf will likely start against Monza.
MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Simone Perilli - Keeps clean sheet in debut Perilli made four saves and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Spezia.
Impact Perilli made his Verona debut Sunday, as well as his first career Serie A start. He marked the occasion well, as he stopped all four shots on target he faced and kept a clean sheet in the scoreless draw. Starting goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo (illness) should be ready for next Sunday's match versus Monza (30 goals in 25 league matches this season), but if he is not Perilli proved he can do the job when called upon.
MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yayah Kallon - Takes five shots in draw Kallon took five shots (three on target), won all three of his attempted tackles and made one clearance in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Spezia.
Impact Kallon replaced Cyril Ngonge (ankle) in the ninth minute Sunday, and ended up with a solid performance. Kallon more than doubled any of his teammates shot attempts with five, and was the only Verona player with a shot on target and he managed three (both season highs). He also won all three of his attempted tackles and made one clearance as he helped his team keep a clean sheet. While he did not record a goal, his performance still is worth noting and may garner him more playing time in the future.
MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Darko Lazovic - Creates four chances in draw Lazovic created four chances, took two shots (both off target) and recorded eight crosses (two accurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Spezia.
Impact Lazovic put together another solid performance, as he yet again led his team in crosses with eight, double the amount of his next closest teammate. He managed two accurate crosses and took four corners. He also led the team in chances created with four, the fourth time in the last five matches he has recorded three or more. In the first seven matches following the World Cup break, Lazovic managed to score three goals and record three assists after recording just one assist in his 11 matches prior to the break. However in his last three matches, he has failed to record a goal contribution. His underlying production has still been good though, so it seems more likely that this is simply a blip and not a regression to his form prior to the World Cup.
MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Faraoni - Creates two chances in draw Faraoni created two chances, took one shot (off target) and recorded two crosses (both inaccurate) in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Spezia.

He also took one shot that failed to hit the target and whipped in two inaccurate crosses. He had a solid day on the defensive side too, as he won three of four tackles attempted, intercepted one pass and made one clearance in 78 minutes of action.
