Two saves against Parma
Thiam had two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Parma.
Analysis: Thiam made two saves in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Parma, denying Simone Lontani's initial effort before the rebound fell for the youngster to score, and was otherwise rarely threatened as Monza controlled large spells of the match. The Senegalese goalkeeper has now conceded four goals with zero clean sheets across two Serie A appearances this season, though Sunday's display was more composed than his opening fixture suggests, and he heads into the Lecce fixture needing to produce his first clean sheet of the campaign.
Allows three goals against Udinese
Thiam registered two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Udinese.
Analysis: Thiam failed to meet expectations in his first start of the season, as he committed a crucial error and saw his goal beaten three times in the first half. Back from a one-game suspension, he took over the spot between the posts, but he barely improved on Semuel Pizzignacco's weak performance in the opening week. Up next is a visit to Parma, who have struggled to find the net during the early stages of the campaign.
Will return versus Udinese
Thiam served a one-game suspension in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Inter.
Analysis: Thiam was missed in the opener, as Semuel Pizzignacco had a poor display and contributed to the romp with a few blunders. Monza could still add a goalie to challenge him. He kept 17 clean sheets and allowed 37 goals in 42 Serie B matches in 2025/2026.
Suspended for opener
Thiam will be unavailable versus Inter due to yellow-card accumulation.
Analysis: Thiam was booked for the fifth time in the last game of last season and won't be available for the first fixture after the promotion. His deputy, Semuel Pizzignacco, will step in, as Monza didn't make changes at the position.
