Pontus Almqvist - Will miss Sassuolo tilt
Almqvist had two tackles (one won) and one cross (zero accurate), drew one foul and picked up his fifth yellow card in Saturday's 1-0 win over Empoli.
Impact
Almqvist had another paltry display and will miss the Sassuolo game on Sunday due to yellow-card accumulation. If Lameck Banda (ankle) remains out, the coach will turn to Nicola Sansone or Santiago Pierotti.

Nikola Krstovic - Eligible to face Sassuolo
Krstovic completed a one-game ban in Saturday's 1-0 win over Empoli.
Impact
Krstovic got the standard punishment for hitting an opponent in the head while chasing a ball. He will either replace or play next to Roberto Piccoli on Sunday. He has started in five consecutive matches, recording 21 goals (four on target), 13 key passes and one inaccurate cross, but with no end product.

Lameck Banda - Unavailable versus Empoli
Banda "has been selected for the Empoli game to stay close to his teammate, but he can't play due to an ankle injury," coach Luca Gotti announced.
Impact
Banda suffered the problem in the last game, where he subbed off at halt-time and trained on the side throughout the week. Pontus Alqmvist, Santiago Pierotti and Remi Oudin will absorb his minutes.

Pontus Almqvist - Comes off bench in Milan contest
Almqvist drew two fouls, won two duels and had two shots (two on goal) and one interception in Saturday's 3-0 loss to AC Milan.
Impact
Almqvist saw his streak of 10 starts in a row come to an end as the coach went with a more defensive-minded lineup and picked Lameck Banda over him. Patrick Dorgu has also been utilized more offensively lately. He has had 11 shots (seven on target), two key passes and two inaccurate crosses in the last five games. His last goal contribution dates back to early November.

Joan Gonzalez - Takes four shots versus Milan
Gonzalez won one of one tackle and three duels, drew one foul and took four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 loss to AC Milan.
Impact
Gonzalez was one of the lone bright spots for his side and paced in attempts, hitting the crossbar with a header in his most menacing one. He has had a seesawing role as of late, starting twice in the last six rounds, totaling four key passes, three crosses (one accurate) and five tackles (four won).

Lameck Banda - Struggles against Mialn
Banda drew two fouls and registered two crosses (zero accurate), one successful take-on and one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 3-0 loss against AC Milan.
Impact
Banda returned to the starting lineup after a suspension, replacing Pontus Almqvist, but had an underwhelming showing and was substituted at halftime. He has totaled 11 shots (three on target), 11 crosses (three accurate) and two key passes in his last five showings, with no goals or assists.

Antonino Gallo - Passable in Milan match
Gallo recorded two crosses (two accurate), four tackles (two won), seven successful duels and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to AC Milan.
Impact
Gallo didn't have as much volume as in some of his recent showings but still had a decent two-way output despite the large defeat. He has registered 34 crosses (eight accurate), 10 chances created and eight interceptions in the last six rounds, with no clean sheets or goal contributions.

Lorenzo Venuti - Lively in Milan clash
Venuti registered two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate), two interceptions and three clerances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to AC Milan.
Impact
Venuti drew a rare start over Valentin Gendrey and was very energetic despite the result, picking up stats in almost every category. He had last gotten the nod in early February and had logged nine minutes combined in the previous six fixtures, coming off the bench just twice.

Wladimiro Falcone - Blown away by Milan
Falcone registered five saves and two clearances and gave up three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus AC Milan.
Impact
Falcone could do little to prevent the romp as his rearguard came apart too easily in the first half and Milan's attackers were on point. He has kept two clean sheets, allowed five goals and made 24 saves in the last five rounds. Lecce will face Empoli at home Saturday.

Nikola Krstovic - Sent off against Milan
Krstovic was sent off in the first half of Saturday's match against Milan.
Impact
Krstovic was shown a straight red card in the 45th minute forcing the already trailing Lecce down to ten men. The forward will miss next week's match against Empoli through suspension.

Valentin Gendrey - Pretty good in Roma tilt
Gendrey had one shot (zero on goal), six clearances, two tackles (both won) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Roma.
Impact
Gendrey was under pressure but didn't crack and ended up being the busiest defender for his side in the back. He has totaled 10 crosses (three accurate), 24 clearances, 10 tackles (eight won) and five chances created in the last five fixtures.

Roberto Piccoli - Misfires versus Roma
Piccoli won three duels and generated five shots (one on goal), two clearances and two chances created in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Roma.
Impact
Piccoli had a few opportunities to do damage inside and outside the box but couldn't exploit them like his partner in crime Nenad Krstovic. The new coach seems committed to fielding them together. He has started in four of the last six contests, registering 17 shots (six on target), four chances created and two crosses (zero accurate), with no goal contributions.

Antonino Gallo - Very productive against Roma
Gallo registered one shot (zero on goal), 13 crosses (three accurate), four chances created and six corners in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Roma.
Impact
Gallo put up impressive numbers thanks to his energy and stamina and also because he took care of corner kicks from his flank. He led his team in two stats and tallied a new season high in deliveries. He has recorded eight chances created, 32 crosses (six accurate) and eight interceptions in the last five rounds.

Lameck Banda - Fires three shots versus Roma
Banda (knee) won two duels, drew two fouls and had three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in 29 minutes in Monday's 0-0 draw against Roma.
Impact
Banda played the final portion of the game due to his imperfect conditions but looked pretty good. He might unseat Patrick Dorgu, Pontus Almqvist or one of the two strikers in the next game if he has a clean week of practice. He has logged 11 shots (three on target), two key passes and nine crosses (three accurate) in his last four appearances.

Federico Brancolini - Unused in Roma tilt
Brancolini (knee) didn't feature in Monday's 0-0 draw with Roma.
Impact
Brancolini didn't get minutes as natural given the role and will need something to happen to Wladimiro Falcone to get an opportunity.

Nikola Krstovic - Wasteful against Roma
Krstovic drew four fouls, won 10 duels and had eight shots (zero on goal) and four chances created in Monday's 0-0 draw against Roma.
Impact
Krstovic recorded a new season high in attempts but could not find the target in any of them. He also co-paced his team in key passes. He hasn't hit the net in seven showings, where he has tallied 26 shots (five on target), 15 chances created and one inaccurate cross.

Ylber Ramadani - Suspended for Milan clash
Ramadani generated two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created and was booked for the 12th time in Monday's 0-0 draw against Roma.
Impact
Ramadani had a solid display but will miss his third game of the season due to yellow-card accumulation. Joan Gonzalez, Remi Oudin or Hamza Rafia will replace him in the midfield Saturday.

Wladimiro Falcone - Blanks Roma
Falcone had four saves, two clearances and one bunch and didn't concede in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Roma.
Impact
Falcone had a pair of scares in the second half but brilliantly closed the gap on Houssem Aoaur to thwart the biggest chance for the opponents. He has kept consecutive clean sheets after allowing at least a goal in several matches in a row. He has given up six and made 22 saves in the last five. Lecce will face Milan away on Saturday.

Federico Brancolini - Back on bench
Brancolini (knee) is on the bench for Monday's match against Lecce.
Impact
Brancolini is back with the team following his time out due to knee surgery, having recovered from a meniscus tear. However, he should be expected to remain on the bench for the rest of the season, as he has yet to earn a minute all season, even when healthy, as Wladimiro Falcone has a firm grip on the starting role in net.

Lameck Banda - On bench Monday
Banda (knee) is on the bench for Monday's match against Roma.
Impact
Banda makes his return to the team sheet Monday despite his recent injury woes, having been deemed fit enough to make the bench following a knee issue. The forward has had a tough time with injuries this season but will hope he can leave those all behind for the rest of the season, looking to finish the season on a strong note as a regular starter, as he has only missed four starts all season when an option.

Federico Brancolini - Recovers from knee surgery
Brancolini (knee) has been named in Lecce's squad list to face Roma on Monday.
Impact
Brancolini is available after being out for six weeks following a meniscus tear and will resume being Wladimiro Falcone's top deputy between the sticks.

Lameck Banda - Available despite knee ailment
Banda has been called up for Monday's fixture versus Roma despite nursing knee soreness throughout the break, Lecce relayed.
Impact
Banda sat out the last game due to a suspension and logged just one full session in the lead-up to the clash, so he might begin on the bench, with Roberto Piccoli, Remi Oudin or Nicola Sansone starting on the left wing. He has posted 13 shots (three on target), three kye passes and 12 crosses (three accurate) in his last six appearances (four starts).

Lameck Banda - Completes ban
Banda served a one-game suspension in Saturday's 1-0 win over Salernitana.
Impact
Banda will return against Roma and likely start over either Roberto Piccoli or Nend Krstovic, as the new coach went with a heavier attack while he was out. He has yet to contribute to a goal since returning from AFCON, posting 13 shots (three on target), three chances created and 12 crosses (three accurate) in six appearances.
