Serie A Matchday 10 runs from Saturday 31 October to Monday 2 November, and Lecce's Sunday meeting with Genoa arrives with one confirmed absence. Kialonda Gaspar is one of the two suspended players in the round, while Kristian Thorstvedt is also banned for Sassuolo.
Matchday 10 timetable
The round opens with AC Milan against Inter at 20.45 on Saturday 31 October. It closes on Monday 2 November, with the schedule spread across the weekend before Lecce and Genoa take their place at 18.00 on Sunday 1 November.
Sky Sport Italia's rundown is mainly about timing and availability. It gives the league's full Matchday 10 frame, then singles out the suspended players who will miss out: Gaspar for Lecce and Thorstvedt for Sassuolo.
Lecce's suspension problem
Lecce's trip into Sunday carries more weight because the club go in with one win and four defeats in their last five Serie A matches. That run includes back-to-back home losses to Juventus and Bologna, which leaves little room to absorb another defensive absence.
Gaspar has started six Serie A appearances this season, so Lecce are losing a regular part of the side rather than a fringe option. Genoa, by contrast, have won three of their last five league matches and arrive after back-to-back victories over Venezia and Juventus.
The fixture is still only one game in a long round, but the balance around it is clear enough: Lecce need to cope without Gaspar when they host Genoa on Sunday at 18.00, and Sassuolo are missing Thorstvedt later in the weekend.
