Busy defensively
Pongracic registered one tackle (one won) and four clearances in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.
Analysis: Pongracic got involved in the defense throughout Sunday's draw, he made four clearances and a tackle and helped earn the clean sheet. It was a disappointing offensive showing from both sides, but Pongracic at least got involved in the backline. He will be hard-pressed for another clean sheet to close out the domestic campaign.
Clears disqualification
Pongracic served a one-match suspension in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Sassuolo.
Analysis: Pongracic will be eligible to face Roma next Monday and likely start over Daniele Rugani, who was fine in a spot start in this one. He has registered at least one clearance in his last six displays, totaling 35 and posting five tackles (two won), three interceptions and two blocks over that span, with one clean sheet.
Will miss Sassuolo match
Pongracic recorded 13 clearances and one block and was cautioned for the fifth time in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Lecce.
Analysis: Pongracic set a new season high in clearances, but his side conceded once, and he'll be unavailable versus Sassuolo on Sunday due to yellow-card accumulation. Daniele Rugani will likely take his place in the back.
