Danilo Veiga
LECTraining on the side
Veiga (groin) was limited in practicing after taking tests, Lecce announced.
Analysis: Veiga appears to have avoided substantial injuries that would have directly knocked him out for the last two games and will be monitored during the week to determine his availability for Sunday's away game versus Sassuolo.
Exits a little early against Juventus
Veiga recorded one cross (zero accurate), three tackles and three interceptions before leaving Saturday's 1-0 loss to Juventus at the 70th minute due to a potential muscular injury, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Analysis: Veiga held up in the back in a challenging match-up and put together a decent stat line, but he received treatment early in the second half because of a groin/thigh problem and bowed out a few minutes later. He was effectively replaced by Gaby Jean, with Jamil Siebert moving to the flank. He'll likely undergo exams before Sunday's away game versus Sassuolo.
Paces Lecce in crosses versus Fiorentina
Veiga drew three fouls and recorded 13 crosses (two accurate), two clearances and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Fiorentina.
Analysis: Veiga had more room to attack than usual and set a new season high in crosses by far, but he wasn't particularly precise. He has recorded at least one cross and one tackle in all but one game so far, but failed to win one of the latter for the first time in 10 fixtures in this one. He's averaging 3.6 clearances per match, having recorded one or more in every tilt. He has put up three chances created, three interceptions and three blocks in the last four rounds, with no clean sheets.
