As Serie A’s 26th round approaches, several intriguing player situations are emerging. From injury concerns to tactical decisions, let’s examine the status of key players and their likelihood of starting in the upcoming fixtures.

Lookman (Atalanta)

Expected to start on the bench again, Lookman’s recent disagreement with coach Gasperini may impact his playtime. The Nigerian forward is still building up his match fitness.

Dia (Salernitana)

Likely to start as the main striker against Venezia, with Pedro potentially playing in a supporting role.

Vlahovic (Juventus)

Following Champions League action, Vlahovic might get the nod against Cagliari. He’s competing with Kolo Muani for a starting spot and has a strong scoring record against the Sardinian side.

Man (Parma)

Set to start in Parma’s front three against Bologna, with new coach Chivu showing faith in the Romanian winger.

Orsolini (Bologna)

Another substitute appearance is likely at Parma, though he may see some playing time. The left-winger isn’t yet ready for a full 90 minutes.

Joao Felix (AC Milan)

Expected to retain his starting position against Torino, competing with Leao and Pulisic for two attacking spots.

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

Ankle discomfort may keep Thuram out of the starting lineup against Genoa. Inter is taking a cautious approach with his fitness.

Soule and Shomorudov (Roma)

Both players are likely to start Monday’s match, potentially replacing Dybala and Dovbyk in the lineup.

Beltran (Fiorentina)

With Gudmundsson’s injury sidelining him for five weeks, Beltran becomes crucial to Fiorentina’s plans. Expect him to play behind Moise Kean against Verona.
