Marco Sportiello News: Allows one in season debut

Sportiello made two saves and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League loss against Union SG.

Sportiello had a shaky debut, and the decisive moment reflected it as he reacted slowly to Anan Khalaili's volley, a shot he will feel he should have pushed aside. His overall involvement stayed limited to basic handling, offering little sense of rhythm after spending the entire season on the bench in both Serie A and UCL. This outing looked every bit like a spot start rather than a meaningful audition, with no indicators that his role will change moving forward.
