Mateo Pellegrino
Fires two shots in Pisa game
Pellegrino (head) had two shots (one on target) and one chance created and drew four fouls in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Pisa.
Analysis: Pellegrino played the whole game and had an okay outing after leaving early in the previous match. He starred alongside Nesta Elphege in the final stretch of the game. He has hit the net once and logged eight shots (two on target), three chances created and three crosses (zero accurate) in his last five displays.
Fit for Pisa match
Pellegrino (head) "has been cleared to play Sunday," coach Carlos Cuesta announced.
Analysis: Pellegrino avoided a concussion and has been training regularly in recent days. He'll be neck-and-neck to start with Nesta Elphege. He has scored once and notched six shots (one on target), three chances created and three crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances (all starts).
Tests come back clean
Pellegrino was taken to a local hospital for a CT scan after the Udinese match, but it was negative, and he was cleared to return to Parma, Mediaset reported.
Analysis: Pellegrino underwent exams after being hit in the head twice and leaving at the interval. He appears to have avoided severe repercussions, but his status for Saturday's home match versus Pisa remains in question. Nesta Elphege has been fine in relief as of late.
