Captain Francesco Magnanelli had surgery this week for the complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is out for essentially the rest of the season.

Currently on the treatment table are the likes of Domenico Berardi, Alfred Duncan, Timo Letschert, Matteo Politano, Simone Missiroli and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
