Andrea Cambiaso
JUV
Whips in six crosses
Cambiaso registered one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Lecce.
Analysis: Cambiaso would start on the left flank for Juventus and did well to stay involved, notching a shot, a chance created and six crosses in the attack to go along with two tackles won, two clearances and one interception in the defense. His six crosses are a season-high for crosses in a match, beating his previous best by one.
Decent as a sub in Cagliari tilt
Cambiaso (ankle) recorded one shot (one on goal), 21 passes and five crosses (one accurate) in 26 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Cagliari.
Analysis: Cambiaso saw some action in Serie A play after shaking off an injury during the break and provided some punch from the wing. He'll try to overtake Zeki Celik, who can star in other roles, to resume being the top option at left-back like in previous seasons. He hadn't had any offensive stats in his previous two cameos.
Returns in friendly
Cambiaso (ankle) played an hour in Friday's friendly versus Cremonese.
Analysis: Cambiaso returned to the pitch after missing a month because of an ankle injury and will be ready to roll once Serie A resumes. He'll compete with Zeki Celik at left-back and will also be an option in more attacking roles. He had made just two cameos before getting hurt. tallying two tackles (one won).
Continues to miss time
Cambiaso (ankle) hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Atalanta.
Analysis: Cambiaso will skip the fourth game in a row with an ankle injury that was initially believed to be minor. He'll have almost three weeks to recover during the break. Two of Zeki Celik, Weston McKennie and Nicolas Gonzalez will play on the flanks Sunday.
Ruled out for Thursday
Cambiaso (ankle) was omitted from Juventus' squad list to face Nec Nijmegen on Thursday.
Analysis: Cambiaso seemed on track to return, but he experienced some discomfort in the last training session and is also in doubt for the next match against Atalanta. Juventus might switch to a different scheme for this one, with two of Zeki Celik, Weston McKennie (undisclosed) and Nicolas Gonzalez on the flanks.
Probable for NEC Nijmegen tilt
Cambiaso (ankle) trained fully twice ahead of Wednesday's match versus NEC Nijmegen and should be part of the squad, Sky Italy reported.
Analysis: Cambiaso was close to returning in the previous game and appears to be in better shape a few days later. He has missed the past two contests. He could get minutes either at left-back, where Zeki Celik has been starting so far, or as a winger, considering Kenan Yildiz's (knee) absence. He has posted just two tackles (one won) in his two bench appearances.
Absent for Sassuolo tilt
Cambiaso (ankle) hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Sassuolo.
Analysis: Cambiaso underwent a late fitness test, as he wasn't ruled out by the coach in the pre-game presser, but he evidently didn't pass and will try to come back next week. Zeki Celik is poised to draw another start at the position.
Ruled out for Milan game
Cambiaso (ankle) "will miss Sunday's clash with Milan," coach Luciano Spalletti announced.
Analysis: Cambiaso escaped without serious damage but hasn't been able to train fully throughout the week and won't be an option for this one. Zeki Celik is set for another start at right back. Lloyd Kelly can handle the position as well.
Avoids serious problems
Cambiaso is day-to-day with a right-ankle sprain, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.
Analysis: Cambiaso played only a few minutes off the bench versus Parma, but the issue doesn't appear too severe, and he'll be monitored in training to determine his availability for the next round against Milan. Zeki Celik has started over him twice thus far.
Suffers injury Saturday
Cambiaso exited Saturday's 2-0 win over Parma in the second half due to an undisclosed injury.
Analysis: Cambiaso entered the game in the 76th minute and was forced to depart after just 10 minutes. Further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the injury, but he should be considered questionable ahead of facing AC Milan next Sunday in a new edition of the Derby dei Campioni.
Swings in five crosses versus Fiorentina
Cambiaso registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one tackle (zero won) and created one scoring chance in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Fiorentina.
Analysis: Cambiaso had a solid offensive game but wasn't on point defensively, like the rest of the rearguard. He has tallied multiple chances in the last five matches, amassing nine chances created and registering one assist, four shots (one on target) and three clearances during that span. He has sent in at least two crosses in five consecutive bouts, piling up 20 (six accurate), and stretched his streak of appearances with one or more tackles to 12, for a total of 19 (eight won), with one clean sheet during that stretch.
Dishes out assist in Lecce game
Cambiaso assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Lecce.
Analysis: Cambiaso frequently motored up and down the wing and linked up with Dusan Vlahovic on his first delivery, tallying his fifth helper in the season and his first since early February. He has sent in multiple crosses in the last four matches, amassing 15 (four accurate) and adding three shots (one on target), three interceptions and eight chances created over that span. Additionally, this marked his 11th appearance in a row with one or more tackles, for a total of 18 (nine won).
