Benjamin Pavard - Expected to miss time Pavard "will be out for a while as he dislocated his kneecap, which then returned in position," coach Simone Inzaghi announced.

Impact Pavard will undergo some tests shortly but is a safe bet to sit out the next two games, and perhaps more. Matteo Darmian will take over the position, while Yann Aurel Bisseck will become the top defensive deputy.

Benjamin Pavard - Leaves match injured Pavard was forced off in the 33rd minute of Saturday's match against Atalanta after going down with an apparent knee injury.

Impact Pavard didn't even make it through the first half of Saturday's game before needing to be brought off, going down with an apparent injury after twisting his knee. The only bright spot of the whole incident was that the French defender did walk off the pitch carrying his own weight. The club will hope that the knock is only minor and he doesn't miss significant time with the injury. He was replaced by Matteo Darmian, who will most likely remain as Pavard's filler if he is out for an extended period.
