Not easy times for Castori, who was already at the 2-3 defeat on Wednesday in Avellino He lamented the numerous absences. "We were missing eight players, that shouldn't be forgotten," the 71-year-old said at the press conference after the match in Campania.

The good news for Castori: Fabian Tait and Karim Zedadka, two regular starters who were suspended for the Avellino match, are returning. The bad news: Other key players, such as Salvatore Molina, are still unavailable. The experienced winger is injured, as is his counterpart Simone Davi on the left. Raphael Odogwu and long-term injured goalkeeper Alessio Cragno are also unavailable.

Kofler needs to take a break

Raphael Kofler will also be unavailable. The Rabland native missed the match in Avellino and will also miss the game against Frosinone. It remains to be seen who will replace the South Tyrolean top talent in the center of the back three. Filipe Bordon failed to impress against Avellino. The 40-year-old Andrea Masiello is a candidate, but he can no longer sustain a full 90 minutes in Serie B. Alternatives would be Davide Mancini or Frederic Veseli, who usually plays on the left side of the back three.
