Christian Kabasele
UDIServes disqualification
Kabasele cleared a one-game ban in Saturday's 2-0 win over Cagliari.
Analysis: Kabasele will return against Cremonese next Sunday and will start over Branimir Mlacic (hip) and Nicolo Bertola if the coach continues with the usual selection. He has logged at least one tackle in his last seven outings, amassing eight (six won), contributing to two clean sheets and adding 31 clearances, seven interceptions and five blocks over that span.
Suspended for Cagliari game
Kabasele won one of two tackles (one won), had two interceptions, two clearances and two blocks and was cautioned for the fifth time in Saturday's 2-0 win over Torino.
Analysis: Kabasele had another strong performance in the back but won't be available for the next round due to yellow-card accumulation. If Nicolo Bertola (thigh) doesn't recover, Branimir Mlacic will fill in, unless the coach decides to change the scheme.
Defensive standout in defeat
Kabasele recorded one tackle (one won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Parma.
Analysis: Kabasele matched a team-high Saturday with five clearances as Udinese fell in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Parma. Across his last five appearances (five starts), the central defender has averaged one tackle, 5.8 clearances, one interception and 0.6 blocks per appearance. Kabasele has been named to the starting XI in eight consecutive Serie A fixtures.
