Impact Ekkelenkamp set the tone early, teeing up Oumar Solet's 10th-minute opener after pouncing on a high turnover and slipping him in with precision. He logged serious work down the right midfield channel and was a key driver in Udinese's first-half momentum, consistently pushing them into dangerous pockets as they hunted a second goal. After the break, Sassuolo raised the tempo and played through the press, flipping the script, but Ekkelenkamp still made it three straight Serie A matches with at least one chance created, adding up to one goal and one assist over that stretch.

Makes bench Saturday Ekkelenkamp (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Cagliari.

Impact Ekkelenkamp was a late call heading into Saturday's contest but appears to have passed his testing, as the midfielder is on the bench to face Cagliari. This is good news for the club, as he is a regular starter and will likely return to that spot after testing his legs.

MAY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Cagliari game Ekkelenkamp "is dealing with a thigh problem, and we don't know yet whether he'll be available against Cagliari," coach Kosta Runjaic informed.

Impact Ekkelenkamp has avoided serious injuries as he hasn't been ruled out in advance and will be a late call for this one, as the team will take it to the wire to evaluate him. Oier Zarraga or Simone Pafundi would eventually substitute for him since Martin Payero (suspension) is missing in the midfield.

Limps off versus Bologna Ekkelenkamp had one shot and one successful take on and won one duel in 36 minutes in Monday's game against Bologna before leaving due to an undisclosed injury, Udinese relayed.

Impact Ekkelenkamp had a quiet shift before asking to come out due to some discomfort, but it wasn't clear where he was hurting. He'll be assessed before Saturday's away game versus Lecce. Rui Modesto replaced him in this one. Sandi Lovric and Iker Bravo could also start in relief depending on the formation.

Impact Ekkelenkamp got the chance to play as a no.10 with Florian Thauvin (foot) and Alexis Sanchez (calf) unavailable, but the more attacking role didn't boost his offensive production, and Udinese fared better with two pure strikers together in the second half. He'll remain involved no matter the role. He has registered two shots (zero on target), four key passes, four crosses (two accurate) and three interceptions in the last five bouts (four starts).

Scores in start Ekkelenkamp scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Napoli.

Impact Ekkelenkamp's 2025 calendar year began with him being dropped from Udinese's starting XI.

By recording a goal, Ekkelenkamp breaks a drought in the category he had been having all season.
