Keinan Davis
UDI
Might not miss time
Davis is believed to have avoided substantial muscular injuries, Messaggero Veneto reported.
Analysis: Davis left the last game in the first half, but the club didn't issue an official update after his tests, and he's been spotted training in some capacity in recent days. He'll have a couple of weeks to recover completely ahead of October 12's fixture versus Torino.
Subs off early against Cagliari
Davis recorded one shot (zero on goal) in 37 minutes in Saturday's clash with Cagliari before leaving due to an apparent left thigh injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.
Analysis: Davis had a pretty quiet performance but came close to scoring with a crafty lefty finish from the right-hand side of the box, which went just wide. He bowed out before the end of the first half due to muscular discomfort and is set for tests to determine whether he could recover ahead of October 12's game versus Torino. Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo are the other options at the position.
Back to back assists
Davis assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Monday's 5-3 loss versus Inter Milan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 45th minute.
Analysis: Davis was the creator again at San Siro, where he set up Udinese's second goal for Ekkelenkamp to log back to back assists. This was the first match in which the forward failed to register a shot after taking five across his previous two starts. His creative work has held up regardless, with five chances created in the opening three games despite operating as the centre forward, so his value to the attack goes well beyond what he does in front of goal.
Logs assist in Lazio contest
Davis assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal), one tackle (one won) and two chances created in Monday's 2-1 loss to Lazio.
Analysis: Davis shielded a defender and hit Jesper Karlstrom in stride to set up the opening goal and put his name in the stat sheet for the first time this season. He also co-led his team in attempts. He has tallied multiple shots and chances created in his two outings, totaling five (zero on target) and four, respectively.
Tallies two shots in return
Davis generated two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Monza.
Analysis: Davis lacked decisive output in 68 minutes during his comeback to the starting lineup after a one-game injury absence. His inclusion from kickoff pushed Idrissa Gueye to a backup role, which projects to be the usual situation when both strikers are available. Davis will likely find more scoring chances as the central member of a potent offense and his success will depend on his finishing quality in the more favorable fixtures, while he may be forced to press and work without the ball when facing tougher opposition.
Starting versus Monza
Davis (undisclosed) is in the initial XI to face Monza on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis will make his seasonal debut as expected after being held out because of a late muscular problem last week and is healthy enough to get the nod over Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo. He's unlikely to go the full 90 minutes, given the circumstances.
Fit for Monza clash
Davis (undisclosed) "had a good week and will be with us Saturday," coach Kosta Runjaic announced.
Analysis: Davis has recovered from a small muscular problem that sidelined him at the last minute last week and could get the nod right away over Vakoun Bayo and Idrissa Gueye (undisclosed). He tallied 10 goals, four assists, 50 shots (25 on target) and 31 chances created in 30 matches last year.
Late scratch for Como meeting
Davis won't play against Como on Saturday due to muscle fatigue, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.
Analysis: Davis is suffering from a mild issue, and the coach decided not to take any chances to avoid more serious ones. He'll try to recover for next Saturday's away game against Monza. Idrissa Gueye is stepping in since Adam Buksa is on his way out. Vakoun Bayo is the only other striker in the squad.
Extends contract with Udinese
Davis has agreed to a new deal until 2031 with Udinese, the team announced.
Analysis: Davis was drawing some outside interest after his best and healthiest campaign in a few years, but the renewal likely means that he's staying put this summer. He notched 10 goals, four assists and 50 shots (25 on target) in 30 appearances (27 starts) in 2025/2026 and will look to build on it.
Held in check by Napoli defenders
Davis recorded two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Napoli.
Analysis: Davis had okay output in the final third but was never dangerous in this one. He created at least one scoring chance in his final eight appearances, totaling 10. He had his most productive season yet in 2025/2026, scoring ten goals, providing four assists and notching 50 shots (25 on goal) and 31 chances created in 30 fixtures (27 starts).
Quiet showing against Cremonese
Davis recorded one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Cremonese.
Analysis: Davis resumed starting after tending to a thigh injury but had troubles getting open and receiving clean feeds in dangerous areas. He has fired at least one shot in his last four outings, racking up six attempts (all on target), scoring and assisting once and creating four chances during that stretch.
Dishes out assist versus Cagliari
Davis (thigh) assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in 25 minutes in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Cagliari.
Analysis: Davis had a good stint off the bench, wriggling free on a late counter and perfectly setting up Idrissa Gueye in the box. He'll likely start over Adam Buksa against Cremonese next Sunday if he has a clean week of training. He has fired at least one shot in his three outings in a row, amassing five attempts (all on target), scoring once. Additionally, this marked his sixth straight display with at least one chance created (seven total).
Returning in Cagliari bout
Davis (thigh) "will be available Saturday and will probably come off the bench," coach Kosta Runjaic announced.
Analysis: Davis has recovered from a thigh issue that cost him the last three matches and will likely see some action in the second half, with either Adam Buksa or Idrissa Gueye getting the call from the start. He has scored three goals in his last five displays (all starts), adding eight shots (seven on target), six chances created and 11 clearances.
