Armel Bella-Kotchap
Remains on the shelf
Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) isn't part of the squad for Sunday's home game versus Como.
Analysis: Bella-Kotchap will miss the second game in a row due to a shoulder injury and might soon be shut down. Martin Frese or Nicolas Valentini will take his place in the back.
Absent versus Juventus
Bella-Kotchap (shoulder) hasn't been called up for Sunday's clash with Juventus.
Analysis: Bella-Kotchap won't be an option a few days after injuring his shoulder, and the team has yet to disclose the severity of his problem and whether he'll be able to return before the end of the season. Nicolas Valentini (suspension) is also unavailable in the back. Martin Frese or Tobias Slotsager will play next to Andrias Edmundsson and Victor Nelsson.
Exits early in Verona tilt
Bella-Kotchap recorded two tackles (one won) and three clearances before leaving Saturday's clash with Verona at the 51st minute because of a shoulder injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.
Analysis: Bella-Kotchap was solid in the back in his return from the starting lineup after a while following a previous thigh injury, but injured his shoulder early in the second half and departed while in significant pain. He'll undergo examinations in the next few days. Nicolas Valentini replaced him off the bench in this one.
DNP in Milan clash
Bella-Kotchap (thigh) didn't feature in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Milan.
Analysis: Bella-Kotchap returned to the squad after a month and a half, but the coach elected to give him more time before fielding him. He'll likely start over Nicolas Valentini and Martin Frese once he's fully healthy. He has notched five tackles (four won), four interceptions and eight clearances in his last three outings, with no clean sheets.
