Sends in six crosses in Cagliari match Luiz registered three shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and four corners and won two of three tackles in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Cagliari.

He has registered at least one tackle in the last six games, amassing 11 (seven won), adding 12 shots (four on target), 14 corners and six chances created over that span. Additionally, this marked his third display in a row with one or more crosses, for a total of nine (two accurate). Instead, he snapped a three-game streak with at least one clearance.

He has notched at least three shots, four or more crosses, and at least seven corners in the first two games, likely securing a regular spot in the XI at least in the early going.

Could get another shot at Juventus Luiz is leaving Aston Villa after his loan spell and could remain part of the Juventus squad next season, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Luiz spent the previous campaign at Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, not shining for either club, scoring and assisting once and posting 24 chances created, 63 crosses (13 accurate) and 37 tackles in 31 appearances (17 starts) combined. Juventus have a new coach compared to last summer and would be hard-pressed to recoup what they spent on him, so they could decide to keep him to bolster their midfield depth if they don't receive a respectable offer.

Inefficient in service Douglas Luiz had nine crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

Impact Only two of the defender's nine crosses were considered accurate, though part of that could be due to the sheer volume Aston Villa needed to try to get an equalizer. Luiz has a more favorable matchup coming up against a Wolves team with a -32 goal differential, so he should be able to move forward again and be involved in the attack.

Impact Luiz should be back available for Thursday's Europe League clash against Utrecht and could play some minutes after travelling with the squad and likely clearing his hamstring injury.
