Álex Valle
COMOut for the final two matches
Valle "will miss the last two rounds due to a flexor strain," coach Cesc Fabregas announced.
Analysis: Valle closes a solid campaign a little early, having scored once, assisted four times, contributed to 10 clean sheets and notched 46 crosses (11 accurate), 52 clearances and 51 tackles in 28 appearances (23 starters). Alex Moreno and Mergim Vojvoda will take care of the role versus Parma and Cremonese.
Leaves Verona game in first half
Valle had one cross (zero accurate) and three clearances before exiting Sunday's match against Verona at the 36th minute due to a muscular injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.
Analysis: Valle got banged up near the end of the first half and walked off the pitch rather gingerly. He'll be examined in the coming days ahead of the Parma contest. His usual deputy Alex Moreno came off the bench to replace him at left-back.
Swings in three crosses versus Napoli
Valle had three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created and won one tackle in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Napoli.
Analysis: Valle was a secondary threat on offense and didn't face a lot of pressure in the back despite the match-up. He has registered at least one cross in his last five showings, amassing 11 deliveries (three accurate), scoring and assisting once and notching five key passes and two interceptions over that span. Additionally, this marked his fourth outing in a row with one or more tackles, for a total of seven (four won). Instead, he snapped a five-match string with at least one clearance.
