Cesare Casadei
TOR
Will stay on the shelf
Casadei (undisclosed) could miss a couple more weeks, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.
Analysis: Casadei won't return against Fiorentina on Saturday and is also at risk for the next fixture, as his muscular problem is more severe than simple fatigue. Rolando Mandragora, Gaetano Pio Oristanio and Che Adams will pick up the slack, depending on how aggressive the coach wants to be.
Absent against Sassuolo
Casadei (undisclosed) hasn't been called up for Saturday's game versus Sassuolo.
Analysis: Casadei hasn't recovered from muscle fatigue and will be re-evaluated next week ahead of Saturday's away clash with Fiorentina. Alieu Njie currently has an edge over Che Adams and Gaetano Pio Oristanio to replace him in the hole, although all three could get some minutes.
Questionable for Sassuolo tilt
Casadei "is dealing with muscle fatigue, and we have to further evaluate him," coach Ignazio Abate announced.
Analysis: Casadei got the nod over a few different options against Milan but is at risk for the second round and will need to pass a late fitness test to be available. Alieu Njie, Gaetano Pio Oristanio and Che Adams would fill in if needed, depending on how aggressive the gaffer wants to be.
Strikes in Juventus meeting
Casadei scored one goal to go with two shots (two on target) and one chance created and drew one foul in 45 minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Juventus.
Analysis: Casadei started his team's comeback with a quality header on a set piece, bagging his sixth goal. He's rarely been a full-time starter despite his prowess in the final third, registering 36 tackles, 39 clearances and 35 shots (17 on target) in 33 appearances (19 starts).
