Giuseppe Pezzella
USCBows out in Pisa fixture
Pezzella had six crosses (one accurate) and one tackle in 59 minutes in Sunday's win over Pisa before exiting because of a possible lower leg injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.
Analysis: Pezzella had his usual busy shift on the wing but was fouled hard by Felipe Loyola and had to be helped off the pitch by the medical staff, as he was struggling to put weight on the leg. He's poised to undergo tests in the next few days. The coach turned to Alessio Zerbin in relief, moving Tommaso Barbieri to left-back, while Romano Floriani Mussolini (undisclosed) was a late scratch for this one.
Effective on the wing against Lazio
Pezzella created two scoring chances and generated one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and four clearances in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Lazio.
Analysis: Pezzella had his way on the wing and uncorked his highest number of crosses in a couple of months. He has tallied at least one in every match so far, averaging 3.5 (1.21) per game. He has registered one or more clearances in 17 appearances in a row, accumulating 46 and notching 21 chances created, 46 clearances and 11 interceptions during that stretch.
