Idrissa Gueye
UDI
Will miss three months
Gueye needed surgery because of a severe ankle sprain and will be sidelined for three months, Udinese announced.
Analysis: Gueye underwent more tests after spraining his ankle during a friendly, and he and the team determined that the operation would be the best course of action, even though it'll cost him significant time. Vakoun Bayo will deputize Keinan Davis (thigh) until January.
Picks up ankle injury
Gueye is week-to-week because of left ankle sprain, Udinese announced.
Analysis: Gueye got hurt during a friendly against Pogon Szczecin and, while he has some time to recover before the Torino clash on October 12, he'll likely miss at least one contest, considering the club's statement. If Keinan Davis (thigh) doesn't return, Vakoun Bayo will lead the frontline.
Scores off bench
Gueye scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 5-3 defeat to Inter Milan.
Analysis: Gueye got off the mark for the season at San Siro with a stoppage time consolation in a wild eight goal thriller. The striker was a substitute once again, having not started a game since the opening gameweek, and he made his only shot of the evening count.
Draws two fouls versus Monza
Gueye (undisclosed) had one off-target shot and one clearance and drew two fouls in 22 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Monza.
Analysis: Gueye avoided missed time, but Keinan Davis was available after an injury, and he'll only have a secondary role when the starter is healthy. He has tallied at least one shot in his first two displays, totaling four (zero on target) and adding two key passes and two clearances.
Probable for Monza game
Gueye (undisclosed) dealt with cramps in the past fixture and has been training regularly afterward, Messaggero Veneto reported.
Analysis: Gueye avoided an injury and will compete with the returning Keinan Davis (undisclosed), Vakoun Bayo and Unai Gomez in a couple of roles, considering Nicolo Zaniolo's (thigh) absence. He recorded three shots (zero on target), two chances created and one clearance in 72 minutes in the opener.
Helped off in Como match
Gueye had three shots (zero on target) and two chances created in 72 minutes before being carried off the pitch by the medical staff, TuttoSport relayed.
Analysis: Gueye was busy and slippery but quite wasteful while filling in for Keinan Davis (thigh), who was a late scratch. He seemingly suffered a muscular injury in the second half and couldn't continue. He'll be assessed in the next few days ahead of Saturday's game versus Monza. Vakoun Bayo would start if needed.
Seals Cagliari contest
Gueye scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), three clearances and one chance created in 12 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Cagliari.
Analysis: Gueye made an impact off the bench, punching it in on a square ball by Keinan Davis in the stoppage time to bag his maiden Serie A goal. He has been playing more lately due to Daivis and Nicolo Zaniolo's physical problems, but both starters are healthy at the moment. He has fired at least one shot in six consecutive appearances (one stat), totaling 11 attempts (four on target) and posting three key passes, two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (two won) over that span.
Subbed in on Saturday
Gueye recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Torino.
Analysis: Gueye replaced Adam Buksa in the 70th minute, completed seven passes and won five of his six duels. Gueye has now made 16 appearances this campaign, starting just once.
