FCS before Venezia duel: Who comes back, who is out?

One more final training session and then Federico Valente sees his team ready for Venezia. The Lagunenstädter have recently conceded a lot of goals and lost 8 of 4 games, but are still a top team in Serie B. At FC Südtirol, on the other hand, the loss list is long, but there are also positive signals.

Coach Valente didn't let his hand be seen at the press conference on Friday. It is likely that the FCS coach will go back to a 14-3-5 formation against Venezia (Saturday, 2 p.m.). However, he lacks new additions on the right side Hamza El Kaouakibi, who made a strong comeback against Ascoli. “He took a good hit on the thigh. The bruise isn’t completely gone yet,” said Valente. The Italo-Moroccan is not an issue against Venezia. captain Fabian Tait would be an option, but Valente sees the Salurner as being better off in the center ("He's too important for us there.") The most likely variant is that Riccardo Deer allowed to play from the start. Winter newcomer Salvatore molina is in the squad for the first time, but is not scheduled to start. “After a muscle injury, it would be unwise for him to start playing straight away – even if he would of course want to start,” said Valente. The FCS coach promised Molina about half an hour of playing time.

What about Jasmin Kurtic?

It is questionable whether head of defense Andrea Masiello placeholder image can play. The 38-year-old had to leave the Ascoli match with thigh pain and has not trained so far this week. But Masiello is there for the final training session. If all goes well, he will play against Venezia. Jasmine Kurtic However, after a fever attack a week ago, he went through everything. Nevertheless, the Slovenian should again not be an issue for the starting eleven. The national player, who really wants to go to the European Championships, is in danger of becoming a misunderstanding. matteo rover (his return is unclear) and Kevin Vinetot also fail.
