The most intricate and controversial cases of the 9th matchday of Serie A. Between recoveries, doubts, possible forfeits, turnovers, let’s see together who plays as a starter and who doesn’t, analyzing the most complicated situations, especially from a fantasy football perspective. The championship round opens on Friday with Udinese-Cagliari at 6:30 pm and ends on Sunday evening with Fiorentina-Roma.
The transfer market is always full of surprises, and the latest news is that some players are recovering well, while others are still struggling with their respective physical conditions. In this article, we will detail who plays and who doesn’t, making it easier for fans and fantasy football enthusiasts to make the most informed decisions about their teams.
Thauvin, the French midfielder, is recovering well, but he’s not likely to start from the 1st minute. However, he could still get the call-up and have space in the second half. Sanabria, on the other hand, had a case of the flu, but he can recover in time for the match against Como. Nevertheless, his fitness level is likely to be affected, making it difficult to perform at his best.
Neres, the Brazilian winger, is doing well and is a strong contender for a starting shirt. He has always proven to have an impact, even during the ongoing phase, so it’s likely that he’ll get the nod. Leao, the Portuguese forward, is at risk of losing his starting place, as Okafor is on the launching pad, and Leao’s prices are in steep decline.
Sampdoria’s Samardzic is another player who could start against Verona, given that he didn’t start in the Champions League either. Gasperini had kind words for the Serbian, who can start from the 1st minute. As for Genoa’s Messias and Vitinha, they will be out for a long time, with a potential return towards the end of November or early December. Therefore, fans shouldn’t count on them for the time being.
D. Maldini’s shoulder injury is causing him problems, and he trained separately until Thursday. His return for the match against Venezia appears difficult, making another forfeit a possibility. Koopmeiners, another player struggling with an injury, is out for a while, along with Gonzalez and Douglas Luiz. Gudmudsson, the Icelandic midfielder, will be out for at least a month, dealing a blow to Palladino’s team.
