Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Hellas Verona manager Marco Baroni to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Juan Manuel Cruz (unknown injury) will miss out. Juan Cabal cannot play in this game through suspension.

We think that Hellas Verona may well go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game with Lorenzo Montipò, Jackson Tchatchoua, Diego Coppola, Giangiacomo Magnani, Ruben Vinagre, Suat Serdar, Ondrej Duda, Tijjani Noslin, M. I. Folorunsho, Darko Lazovic and Federico Bonazzoli.
