Five rounds into the Serie A season, durability has already become a quiet but important part of the championship story. Twenty-two outfield players have completed every one of their club’s first five matches, accumulating the full 450 minutes without a substitution or a place on the bench.
The ever-present core of the opening weeks
The group is heavily weighted towards defenders, underlining how many coaches have quickly settled on trusted foundations at the back. Midfielders make up the next largest share, while Sassuolo’s Armand Laurienté is the only forward to have played every minute so far.
- Ramon — Como
- Strahinja Pavlovic — Milan
- Giorgio Scalvini — Atalanta
- Gleison Bremer — Juventus
- Pierre Kalulu — Juventus
- Koni De Winter — Milan
- Victor Provstgaard — Lazio
- Radu Dragusin — Fiorentina
- Torbjørn Heggem — Bologna
- Amir Rrahmani — Napoli
- Giovanni Di Lorenzo — Napoli
- Enrico Delprato — Parma
- Jorne Schingtienne — Venezia
- Tiago Veiga — Lecce
Midfield regulars and one attacking exception
In midfield, the names reflect the importance of continuity during the first stretch of the campaign. These players have been present from the opening whistle to the final whistle in each fixture, giving their sides a dependable reference point as the league takes shape.
- Nicolò Barella — Inter
- Morten Frendrup — Genoa
- Lewis Ferguson — Bologna
- Michel Adopo — Cagliari
- Jesper Karlström — Udinese
- Davide Cinquegrano — Sassuolo
- Lassana Coulibaly — Lecce
Laurienté stands alone among the forwards
Laurienté is the sole attacker in the 22-player list. His five complete matches for Sassuolo set him apart from the usual early-season pattern, in which forwards are more frequently managed through substitutions and rotation.
For the clubs involved, these 450-minute men have offered an early measure of stability. The season is still young, but coaches have already identified players they have been unwilling to remove from the contest.
