Sascha Britschgi
Forced off late against Monza
Britschgi had two tackles and 10 passes and won two of two tackles in 77 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Monza before exiting due to an injury, coach Carlos Cuesta announced.
Analysis: Britschgi drew his second start in a row but was pretty quiet offensively and will need to be assessed ahead of Monday's clash with Como. "It doesn't look to be too serious, but he'll have to take some tests," the gaffer added. Parma changed the scheme when he left, as they don't have other wing-backs besides Enrico Delprato, who usually plays as a defender.
Serves supension
Britschgi completed a one-game ban in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Cagliari.
Analysis: Britschgi will return for the second round against Juventus on Saturday and will be in contention to start as a winger, where Parma don't have a clear first choice and have been rotating players, including him, in the pre-season. Otherwise, he'll back up Enrico Delprato and Emanuele Valeri on the defensive flanks. He assisted twice, contributed to seven clean sheets and notched 49 crosses (11 accurate), 33 tackles and 38 clearnces in 29 appearances (22 starts) last year.
Will miss next season's opener
Britschgi had one cross (zero on target), drew one foul, committed one and received his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 win over Sassuolo.
Analysis: Britschgi resumed starting after a few rounds as Enrico Delprato wasn't fit, but didn't put up numbers on either end and will be unavailable for the next match due to yellow-card accumulation. He fell out of favor late as Parma switched to a more defensive-minded formation, tallying two assists, 49 crosses (11 accurate), 33 tackles and 38 clearances in 29 displays (22 starts).
Serves disqualification
Britschgi cleared a one-game ban in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Como.
Analysis: Britschgi will return against Sassuolo and resume deputizing Enrico Delprato on the right wing. He has tallied four clearnaces, three crosses (one accurate) and two tackles (both won) in his last five showings (two starts).
Booked twice in Roma tilt
Britschgi registered one clearance and picked up two yellow card in 16 minutes in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Roma.
Analysis: Britschgi had a very poor stint off the bench, committing two avoidable fouls and causing a very late PK. He'll be unavailable for next Sunday's away game versus Como. He has been deputizing Enrico Delprato on the right flank in recent fixtures.
