The knee: Nicolò Vischia out for 18 days
18 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Ascoli lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Matteo Ricci asks to leave Ascoli
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Match2 Jan 2027
No end in sight to Ascoli's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Ascoli has to find a result from somewhere.

The step up is real for Giacomo De Pieri
At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Rocco Dente says Ascoli went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
Loan watch4 Jan 2027
Francesco Galuppini keeps scoring at Ospitaletto
16 appearances away from home and 18 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Words exchanged at Ascoli
Federico Gattoni and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match2 Jan 2027
Ascoli cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Match2 Jan 2027
Cesena take the points off Ascoli
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
In brief
