Bologna: Blerin Dzemaili is under the weather and is out, Federico Santander has recovered from a tibia bruise, while Ladislav Krejci will likely miss another one with a sore knee.

Cagliari: Fabio Pisacane is suspended. Fabrizio Cacciatore (thigh) and Valter Birsa (fractured hand) have recovered from the issues that kept them out before the break, while Luca Ceppitelli (plantar fasciitis) and Lucas Castro (muscle fatigue) continue to practice on the side, but Castro made the squad list. Alessio Cragno is nearing a return after off-season shoulder surgery.
Fiorentina: Federico Chiesa has recuperated from his ankle injury.

Nicolò Barella (knee) and Alexis Sanchez (ankle) resumed training fully after major injuries and should be called up Monday. Kwadwo Asamoah continues nursing an achy knee, but he is trending in the right direction as well.

Napoli: it does not look like Kalidou Koulibaly and Nikola Maksimovic will be ready to play due to hamstring strains they suffered at the end of 2019. Faouzi Ghoulam will remain on the shelf with a similar problem. Fabian Ruiz is under the weather, while Dries Mertens hurt his hammy and took few days off, so he will not be available this week.
Parma: Riccardo Gagliolo is suspended, while Matteo Scozzarella has recuperated from a calf strain. Roberto Inglese has made strides after an ankle sprain and will be available barring a late setback. Andreas Cornelius (thigh) has some chances but it will go down to the wire: he was cleared but will be limited. Gervinho (thigh) and Yann Karamoh (knee) instead need some more time.
Roma: Justin Kluivert (thigh), Davide Santon (thigh) and Javier Pastore (locks) are out again despite rehabbing through the break. Bryan Cristante could be back next week from his massive groin issue. Federico Fazio has been excluded due to an adductor issue.
Sampdoria: Alex Ferrari tore his ACL and will be out for the season. Gianluca Caprari was sent off in the last game. Fabio Depaoli and Nicola Murru have shaken off minor problems, while Bartosz Bereszynski and Federico Bonazzoli, who spent a decent amount of time on the shelf due to a meniscus tear and a thigh strain, have returned to the squad list. Edgar Barreto and Andrea Bertolacci will instead skip another one with thigh issues. Omar Colley has had the flu, but he is good to go.
