Patric
Makes bench Saturday
Patric (Achilles/thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's season finale against Pisa.
Analysis: Patric has been included in the squad after logging multiple full training sessions during the week following a one-game absence, with the coaching staff opting for a cautious approach by keeping him among the substitutes rather than handing him an immediate return to the starting lineup for the curtain closer. His return to the starting role is expected to follow naturally once the Achilles and thigh concerns have fully settled ahead of the new campaign.
Fit for Pisa fixture
Patric (Achilles/thigh) has logged multiple full training sessions this week and will be in contention to start Saturday, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Analysis: Patric is set to return from a one-game absence and will be in contention with Danilo Cataldi, who's also banged up, and Reda Belahyane, while Kenneth Taylor and Nicolo Rovella are suspended in the midfield. Patric has registered three shots (zero on target), seven cleararances and two blocks in his last five appearances (three starts).
Unavailable versus Roma
Patric suffered a muscular problem midweek and won't make the squad for Sunday's game against Roma, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
Analysis: Patric got hurt in a cameo versus Inter in Coppa Italia and will be assessed next week ahead of the last game of the season against Pisa. The coach will have to lean on Nicolo Rovella and Danilo Cataldi at the position.
