Jay Idzes
SASRuled out Sunday
Idzes (foot) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Lecce.
Analysis: Idzes has been unable to get the green light for the clash against Lecce despite not having been ruled out in advance, with the foot issue proving too significant to push through in a touch-and-go situation that had left his availability uncertain throughout the week. His absence is a notable blow for a Sassuolo side already without Sebastian Walukiewicz and Filippo Romagna through their own injury concerns, leaving Pedro Felipe as the lone alternative available to fill the void in the defensive lineup. Coach Fabio Grosso will now have to manage with extremely limited options at the back, with Idzes' situation to be monitored closely as the campaign enters its final stages.
Late call for Lecce clash
Idzes (foot) "remains in doubt for Sunday," coach Fabio Grosso stated.
Analysis: Idzes hasn't been ruled out in advance, but isn't fully healthy either and is touch-and-go for this one. It remains to be seen whether he'll bite the bullet since his possible replacements, Sebastian Walukiewicz (lower leg) and Filippo Romagna (undisclosed), are missing. Pedro Felipe would be the lone alternative left.
Ruled out for Torino game
Idzes (foot) isn't an option for Friday's match versus Torino.
Analysis: Idzes didn't pass a late fitness test and won't be involved because of a foot/heel injury. He'll try to recover for next Sunday's clash with Lecce. Woyo Coulibaly is replacing him in the XI, while Sebastian Walukiewicz is moving to the center. Filippo Romagna and Pedro Felipe will provide depth in the back.
Late call for Torino bout
Idzes (foot) "is a question mark and is in worse shape than Domenico Berardi (undisclosed), but we'll see how he feels on match day," coach Fabio Grosso relayed.
Analysis: Idzes is nursing a bruise and avoided more serious problems, but he could be spared in this one to avoid aggravating it. Woyo Coulibaly or Filippo Romagna would take his place in the XI if needed.
Bows out early in Milan clash
Idzes recorded three clearances in 40 minutes before leaving Sunday's contest against Milan because of a potential foot injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.
Analysis: Idzes had a fine performance defensively, but couldn't make it to the end of the first due to a knock and will undergo exams in the next few days to assess whether he's dealing with something more than that. He was replaced by Woyo Coulibaly, with Sebastian Walukiewicz moving to the middle of the defense, which could be the way to go if he didn't recover in time for Friday's away game versus Torino.
