OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ivan Ilic - Questionable for Milan clash lic (chest) will be a late call for Saturday's game versus Milan, coach Igor Tudor announced.

Impact Ilic has not been able to train with regularity during the break due to a chest contusion and the coach might decide to spare him in this one. In any case, he has slim chances to get the nod, with Miguel Veloso and Daniel Bessa as candidates to take his place.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluca Frabotta - Remains on the mend Frabotta (calf) will not return in Saturday's match against Milan due to tendonitis, coach Igor Tudor announced.

Impact Frabotta has been dealing with the nagging injury for the whole early portion of the schedule and will remain sidelined despite the two-week break. Darko Lazovic will continue to see the lion's share of minutes on the left wing, with only some makeshift solutions behind him.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Veloso - Slightly in doubt for Milan clash Veloso (calf) did not train fully throughout the break but he should be good to go for Saturday's match versus Milan, coach Igor Tudor informed.

Impact Veloso was called up for the last game before the break after missing time with a calf injury, but he had yet to fully recuperate from the issue. He would probably start if available as likely since Ivan Ilic (chest) is not in perfect conditions.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Davide Faraoni - Questionable for Milan game Faraoni (knee) will start if available, but the decision has yet to be made because he has been a little limited in practice in recent days, coach Igor Tudor announced.

Impact Faraoni is trying to shake off a knee bruise that caused him to sub off right before the break. Verona will make the call only on game-day. Nicolo Casale and Bosko Sutalo would be the alternatives at the position, but they do not offer the same fantasy upside.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Koray Gunter - Expected to play versus Milan Gunter (head) had no lingering effects after subbing off in the most recent Serie A game and will keep starting in Saturday's match against Milan, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

He has notched five tackles, 22 interceptions, 21 clearances and nine blocks in seven games, but with no clean sheets.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Ilic - Will miss international duties Ilic will not play with Serbia U-21 during the second international window due to a severe ribs contusion, Verona announced.

Miguel Veloso - Does not feature versus Spezia Veloso (calf) was an unused sub in Sunday's 4-0 win over Spezia.

Impact Veloso has shaken off a calf ailment, but the coach did not field him right away, nor he needed to given how the match went. He should share time with Ivan Ilic and the other Verona midfielders going forward. He has played just 45 minutes so far due to the injury, notching two chances created, five crosses and one shot. Verona will face Milan away in two weeks.

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact There's a chance Gunter was subbed off as a concussion precaution in addition to the cut to his head. He was replaced by Federico Ceccherini against Spezia, but with two weeks to recover, it's expected Gunter will retain his role in the XI next match at Milan.
