Domenico Berardi
SASOn bench versus Torino
Berardi (muscular) is among the substitutes for Friday's clash against Torino.
Analysis: Berardi's availability gives his side an attacking boost after he scored his eighth goal of the season in the previous match before suffering a minor issue. He'll serve as an alternative to Cristian Volpato on the right wing and could replace him in the initial lineup in subsequent fixtures. Additionally, Berardi may share set pieces with Armand Lauriente whenever he's on the field.
Questionable for Torino clash
Berardi "is dealing with a minor muscular injury, and we'll use all the time at our disposal to assess whether he'll recover for Friday," coach Fabio Grosso announced.
Analysis: Berardi escaped without serious consequences but could still miss this one or be managed carefully to avoid more severe problems. Cristian Volpato would likely get the call on the right flank if he were unable to start.
Scores and limps off versus Milan
Berardi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target) and one chance created in 59 minutes before leaving Sunday's 2-0 win over Milan due to injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.
Analysis: Berardi opened the scoring almost immediately with a perfect low-driven cross-shot from the edge of the box in his return from a two-game suspension, but exited early in the second half, signaling some discomfort. He'll need to be assessed ahead of Friday's away game versus Torino. Cristian Volpato is generally his deputy.
Serves suspension
Berardi completed a two-game disqualification in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Fiorentina.
Analysis: Berardi will return against Milan on Sunday after being banned for two matches because of a shoving match with a Genoa player. He'll likely reclaim his starting job over Cristian Volpato in a hurry. He has swung in multiple crosses in his last 10 appearances, racking up 26 deliveries (11 accurate), scoring three goals, assisting once and adding 16 key passes and 16 shots (eight on target) over that span.
