Back in England
Iling-Junior will return to parent club Aston Villa following the conclusion of his loan spell at Pisa.
Analysis: Iling-Junior made just five Serie A appearances and logged only 107 minutes after joining on loan from Aston Villa in February, struggling to nail down a consistent role at the club. The England U21 international, who won the U21 European Championship in 2025, has now had four consecutive loan spells since joining Villa as part of the Douglas Luiz deal, and will now return to the club with his long-term future still to be determined.
Unused sub in Parma fixture
Iling-Junior (coach's decision) wasn't fielded in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Parma.
Analysis: Iling-Junior resumed being an option after being excluded in the previous three fixtures, but he stayed on the bench, even though Pisa were pretty understaffed. His role will at most grow a little, but he might be in and out of the squad list depending on other players' availability going forward.
Returning in Parma bout
Iling-Junior (coach's decision) has been included in Pisa's squad list to face Parma on Saturday.
Analysis: Iling-Junior has been reintegrated after three matches since Matteo Tramoni and Rafiu Durosinmi are missing because of late undisclosed injuries, restoring some depth in multiple roles. He has tallied one key pass, five crosses (one accurate) and two tackles (two won) in his last five showings (one start).
