Here’s the list of all the unavailable players for the Serie A Round 8, which starts on Saturday, October 19, with Como-Parma and Genoa-Bologna.

It will be an exciting Serie A weekend, with some big games, including Juventus-Lazio and Roma-Inter.

Juventus coach Thiago Motta is short of options in attack and midfield. Teun Koopmeiners and Weston McKennie will surely miss the game, and Nicolò Fagioli is in doubt after missing training Thursday morning.

Milan will host Udinese at San Siro on Saturday before Juventus meet Lazio at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Table leaders Napoli visit Empoli for the lunchtime game on Sunday, Atalanta visit strugglers Venezia on the same day at 14:00 UK time, and Inter travel to Roma for the evening game.

Both Ivan Juric and Simone Inzaghi have a few concerns. Piotr Zielinski will likely miss the match with a muscle injury, while Roma doctors are monitoring Artem Dovbyk due to knee issues.

Serie A Round 8 ends on Monday, October 21, with Hellas Verona-Monza at the Stadio Bentegodi.
