Infirmary: three unavailable
New signing Franck Kessie should be called up immediately, while the unavailable players still in the squad (not counting Honest Ahanor who will go to Chelsea) are three: Thomas Kristensen in fact is not recovering from the ankle sprain, and joins the long-term absentees Kamaldeen Sulemana (medial collateral ligament injury) and Isak Hien (proximal thigh tendon injury). Elmas returns to availability, not usable in the Conference. The doubts are Scamacca-Krstovic and De Ketelaere-Zalewski in attack, Samardzic-Elmas-Pasalic in midfield, Zappacosta-Bellanova as right back. Bernasconi, who started from the bench in the return leg against Hapoel, should regain the left spot; confirmation likely for Carnesecchi, Kossounou, Scalvini, Gaetano, Ederson and Raspadori.
