Ternana football club roster and injury crisis

Ternana is experiencing a significant roster crisis driven by a high volume of player injuries. Initially, the club reported issues affecting both senior and youth squads, with players such as Falletti, Pepe, Zaffalon, Costanzo, Bruti, Turini, and Barbini sidelined. Coach Lisuzzo noted that these injuries could force the club to call up players from the Juniores squad to meet mandatory youth player regulations.

The situation intensified with a serious training injury to defender Nicola Rolla, further straining the defense alongside the absences of Turini, Bruti, and Zaffalon. In response, sporting director Carlo Mammarella is evaluating the acquisition of a new central defender.

Additionally, the club is managing goalkeeper transitions, considering an early contract termination for Tommaso Vitali to allow him to seek opportunities elsewhere, which would necessitate recruiting a new under-age goalkeeper. While transfer rumors have linked Giuseppe Nicolao to the club, management has reportedly ruled him out as they prioritize a central defender over a left-sided wing-back.
