Ndicka out for Verona — second-degree lesion confirmed
Bad news ahead of the season's biggest game. Evan Ndicka has suffered a second-degree muscle lesion and will miss the final Serie A match against Verona (1) (3) (4). That is the match where your Champions League hopes will be decided. No timeline has been given for his recovery yet, but he is definitely out for Sunday.
Pellegrini and Koné being assessed
Lorenzo Pellegrini and Manu Koné are both being evaluated after the derby (3). Their status for Verona is not yet confirmed. Losing any of them alongside Ndicka would be a brutal blow for a match of this magnitude.
