Bologna have confirmed that Poland international goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski will be out for six weeks after an injury sustained against Napoli.

Samuele Ricci reflected on his development at Milan and his return to the Italy squad, praising both his club coach Massimiliano Allegri and Azzurri boss Gennaro Gattuso.

Napoli are shaken by comments from Stanislav Lobotka’s agent, who warned ‘if Antonio Conte stays for another year, the player will put pressure on me to leave’ in 2026.

Refereeing designator Gianluca Rocchi confirms Rasmus Hojlund “should’ve been sent off” for a reaction foul during Bologna-Napoli, but also condemns Lewis Ferguson’s “attitude.”

As Italy prepare for their final two World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Norway, the Azzurri must be careful with Davide Frattesi, Sandro Tonali and Andrea Cambiaso at risk of suspension if they receive another yellow card, but punishment can be avoided altogether as their accumulation of cautions resets before the play-off round.

When Atalanta lost Gian Piero Gasperini, it was only natural they’d replace him with one of his many proteges, but the mistake was looking to the past rather than the future, writes Susy Campanale.

Milan’s recent struggles have been underlined by their numbers, which show clearly just how much the Rossoneri have missed Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic.

Atalanta have officially confirmed the appointment of Raffaele Palladino as the club’s new head coach following the sacking of Ivan Juric after just 11 games of the Serie A season on Monday afternoon. 

Stanislav Lobotka has offered a light-hearted glimpse into life under Antonio Conte, joking that rest days are few and far between under the demanding Napoli coach.

While the refusal to attend international duty for Italy raised eyebrows, the situation for Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is very different to Inter’s Francesco Acerbi.

Riccardo Orsolini is confident that Gennaro Gattuso will create a solid Italy group, like Vincenzo Italiano has done in Bologna and insists the Azzurri will ‘use all our tools’ to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
