Santiago Pierotti
LECAvailable and starting
Pierotti (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Friday's match against Pisa.
Analysis: Pierotti trained on the side throughout the week, but the coaching staff has decided to start him, as he's been a regular in the lineup all season. The production has been lacking, though, as he has just one goal in 33 league appearances (27 starts).
In doubt for Pisa fixture
Pierotti "has trained on the side for the entire week, and we'll decide Friday whether to call him up," coach Eusebio Di Francesco relayed.
Analysis: Pierotti will have to pass a late fitness test to be available and extend his streak of starts. Konan N'Dri would likely replace him if needed. Pierotti has notched multiple tackles in his last seven outings, amassing 24 (15 won) and posting one goal, seven shots (three on target) and seven chances created during that stretch.
Middling showing in Fiorentina bout
Pierotti won two of four tackles and had two shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Monday's 1-1 draw against Fiorentina.
Analysis: Pierotti was again more effective while tracking back rather than in the final third despite his role, badly botching a pair of finishes. He has tallied multiple tackles in the last six tilts, accumulating 21 (14 won), scoring once and posting six shots (two on target), five key passes and six crosses (one accurate) over that span.
