Francesco Camarda
LEC
Returns to Milan
Camarda has been bought back by Milan after Lecce activated their clause.
Analysis: Camarda will remain under Milan control after scoring once and adding 16 shots (three on target), four chances created and one cross (zero accurate) in 21 displays (seven starts) while on loan, missing a chunk of the season due to a shoulder injury. He'll be evaluated by new coach Ruben Amorim during the summer.
Subs in late against Verona
Camarda (shoulder) had one shot (zero on target) and no other stats in a short cameo in Satuyrday's 0-0 draw with Verona.
Analysis: Camarda only saw some action in the stoppage time after a multi-month absence caused by a shoulder injury. He'll work on his conditioning and try to challenge Nikola Stulic and Walid Cheddira, who have both been underwhelming, the rest of the way. He hadn't been much better, scoring once in 18 appearances (seven starts) before going down.
Finds bench role
Camarda (shoulder) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Verona.
Analysis: Camarda has been included in the squad after being absent since early January following the serious shoulder sprain that had required surgery, with the coaching staff easing him back via the bench as he rejoins the competition for the central attacking role. The young forward steps back into a three-man battle alongside Walid Cheddira, who had been acquired in January to fill the void, and Nikola Stulic, with an immediate return to the starting lineup representing too big a step given the length of his absence. His return to the first eleven is expected to follow in the coming fixtures as he builds back his match sharpness and works his way back into contention.
Completes rehab from serious injury
Camarda (shoulder) has been cleared to return, has been called up for a pre-game retreat ahead of Saturday's away game against Verona and has been training regularly in recent days, Lecce announced.
Analysis: Camarda has been absent since early January because of a serious shoulder sprain that required surgery. The team acquired Walid Cheddira in January to fill the void and compete with Nikola Stulic, so he'll join a three-man competition for one spot in the middle of the attack. He has scored once in 17 appearances (seven starts). He has posted five shots (zero on target), three chances created and two clearances in his last five outings.
