Luca Mazzitelli - Doesn't feature versus Udinese Mazzitelli (thigh) was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Udinese.

Impact Mazzitelli watched the last two matches on the bench due to a thigh injury, closing a remarkable campaign with five goals, 49 shots (18 on target) and 13 chances created in 29 appearances (26 starts). He might have showed well enough to move to stay in Serie A with a different team, but he's a stalwart at Frosinone.

Walid Cheddira - Four inaccurate shots in finale Cheddira had four shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Udinese.

Impact For only the second time since April, Cheddira logged zero shots on target, which proved costly for a Frosinone team that needed to score once to save itself from relegation. He finished his 2023-24 season having logged seven goals with 60 shots (28 on goal) and one assist on 16 chances created across 36 appearances (24 starts).

Matias Soule - Injury prematurely ends season Soule was injured and subbed out in the 85th minute of Sunday's 1-0 loss against Udinese. He registered three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances crea...

Impact Having been Frosinone's most reliable player throughout the team's 2023-24 season, Soule being available could have helped Frosinone score a goal that would have ultimately saved the team from relegation. He finished this season with 11 goals on 83 shots (24 on goal). Soule also logged three assists on 82 chances created, 98 crosses (28 accurate) and 82 corners across 36 starts.

Emanuele Valeri - Effort from left insufficient Valeri recorded three shots (two on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Udinese.

Impact With Valeri on the left and Nadir Zortea on the right, Frosinone's team tried to maximize its chances created from the flanks to score a goal that ultimately did not come. The former finished his 2023-24 season having logged zero goals with three shots on target and one assist on 24 chances created. While all aforementioned tallies were much lower than those of his 2022-23 campaign, Valeri could be somewhat forgiven considering he had fewer playing opportunities, only 16 this season.

Nadir Zortea - Effort from flank not enough Zortea had two shots (two on goal), eight crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Udinese.

Impact Zortea's eight crosses and six corners were team highs, but none of them helped Frosinone get a goal that would have saved the team from relegation. Despite entering this season late, he had been one of Frosinone's most reliable players, finishing it with five assists on 74 crosses (25 accurate) and 21 chances created across 14 starts.

Michele Cerofolini - Four saves, one goal conceded Cerofolini recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Udinese.

Impact For the most part, Cerofolini put forth an admirable effort during May, in which he logged two clean sheets and conceded only once another time across four appearances. Unfortunately for the backup goalkeeper, his lone concession from Keinan Davis was not enough to prevent Frosinone's relegation to the Serie B. Cerofolini will finish his 2023-24 season with 18 saves and 11 goals conceded across seven appearances.

Luca Mazzitelli - Makes bench Mazzitelli (thigh) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Udinese.

Luca Mazzitelli - Questionable for season finale Mazzitelli (thigh) has more chances to make the bench than last week, Mediagol reported.

Impact Mazzitelli isn't 100 percent due to a thigh problem but might still be an option due to the magnitude of the game. One among Abdou Harroui, Francesco Gellini and Reinier should get the nod over him.

MAY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Walid Cheddira - Finally scores again Cheddira scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 win against Monza.

Impact After more than a month without any goals, Cheddira got back on the scoresheet Sunday. Even with the recent scoring drought, he has six goals across his last 12 starts. Sufficed to say, Cheddira being a regular part of Frosinone's starting XI has been a positive experience for both him and the team.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Abdou Harroui - Assist in start Harroui assisted once to go with five shots (three on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Monza.

Impact Sunday marked Harroui's first start since March 3, when a thigh injury took him out of commission for over two months. Besides the game he got injured in, Harroui has an assist logged across consecutive starts.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Michele Cerofolini - Logs two-save clean sheet Cerofolini made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win over Monza.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Romagnoli - Shows well against Monza Romagnoli (undisclosed) had four clearances, four blocks and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 win over Monza.

Impact Romagnoli looked fine after a recent injury and filled it up while helping his team keep a clean sheet in a crucial game. He has contributed to blanking the opponents three times in his last five showings, notching five tackles (one won), 11 blocks and 27 clearances.

MAY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Bonifazi - Left on bench against Monza Bonifazi (undisclosed) was an unused sub in Sunday's 1-0 win over Monza.

Impact Bonifazi was available despite a recent physical problem, but the coach rolled with his starters in this one. He has tallied two tackles (one won), two interceptions and two clearances in his last four appearances (two starts).

MAY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Bonifazi - Available against Monza Bonifazi (undisclosed) is a substitute option for Sunday's clash versus Monza.

Impact Bonifazi is good to go following an ailment but drops to the bench as Simone Romagnoli his reclaiming his usual starting job in this one.

MAY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Romagnoli - Makes XI for Monza game Romagnoli (undisclosed) is starting Sunday versus Monza.

Impact Romagnoli returns from a one-game absence and gets the call over Kevin Bonifazi, who's available but not in tip-top shape either. He has contributed to five clean sheets in the season.

MAY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Bonifazi - Questionable for Monza tilt Bonifazi had to leave practice Friday due to an injury, coach Eusebio Di Francesco informed.

Impact Bonifazi will be a late call but could still be an option if he issue is minor. Whoever is in better shape between him and Simone Romagnoli (undisclosed) will get the start along with Pol Lirola and Caleb Okoli, with Ilario Monterisi as the fallback. He has totaled two tackles (one won), two interceptions and one key pass in the last three matches.

MAY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luca Mazzitelli - Could make it for Monza clash Mazzitelli (thigh) is trending toward being a bench option for Sunday's match versus Monza, Tuttomercatoweb relayed.

Impact Mazzitelli has escaped without serious consequences after leaving early last week but has practiced very little and is expected to make at most a cameo. Enzo Barrenechea is returning from suspension. Reinier or Francesco Gelli will start in relief. He has tallied nine shots (three on target), three key passes, 10 tackles (one won) and 10 clearances in the last five rounds.

MAY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Simone Romagnoli - Likely to return against Monza Romagnoli (undisclosed) "trained with us fully Fridau and will probably play Sunday versus Monza," coach Eusebio Di Francesco relayed.

Impact Romagnoli should be able to make a quick return after sitting out one match and could replace Kevin Bonifazi in the XI depending on his level of fitness. He has notched seven tackles (two won), 25 clearances and six interceptions in his last five showings, contributing to three clean sheets.

MAY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Bonifazi - Run over by Inter Bonifazi created one scoring chance and had one interception in Friday's 5-0 defeat versus Inter.

Impact Bonifazi drew his first start in a month after dealing with another knee injury, although less severe than a previous one, but floundered like the Frosinone rearguard. He's the top defensive deputy and gets in on the action if one of the starters is missing, Simone Romagnoli (thigh) in this case. He has totaled two tackles (one won), two interceptions and two clearances in his last five showings, with one clean sheet.

MAY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Caleb Okoli - Posts five clearance versus Inter Okoli registered seven clearances, one block and one interception in Friday's 5-0 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact Okoli racked up stats as he was under pressure throughout the whole game, but it was too little to contain Inter in this one. He has registered 22 clearances, five interceptions and nine tackles in the last five games, contributing to two clean sheets.
