Martín Payero
USCAbsent for Pisa match
Payero won't be an option against Pisa on Sunday because of a knock, Cremonese relayed.
Analysis: Payero picked up a contusion in training and will try to return versus Udinese next week. He has mostly appeared off the bench in recent tilts, operating behind Youssef Maleh, Alberto Grassi and Warren Bondo in the midfield.
Solid cameo in Lazio meeting
Payero had one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners and created two scoring chances in 29 minutes in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Lazio.
Analysis: Payero outplayed the starters in his shift off the bench, contributing in multiple categories. He could unseat Alberto Grassi or Warren Bondo in the next round. He has logged at least one key pass in the last three fixtures, piling up four and adding two shots (one on target), three corners and four crosses (two accurate) over that span.
Gets the nod in Napoli bout
Payero drew four fouls and had one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Friday's 4-0 loss to Napoli.
Analysis: Payero started over Jari Vandeputte after coming off the bench in the previous four games and put up small numbers across the board. Morten Thorsby and Michele Collocolo will also vie for a spot when healthier. He has recorded two shots (both on target), two chances created and five crosses (one accurate) in the last five fixtures.
