He featured 25 times last season, scoring thrice and recording 33 tackles, 25 interceptions, 112 clearances and seven blocks, with seven clean sheets.

Impact De Winter has made his way back to the team sheet Saturday as expected, earning a spot on the bench in his return.

That said, he will likely hope to test his legs Saturday before returning to the starting XI next contest.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will return against Empoli De Winter (thigh) "has had a good week and training and will be with us Saturday," coach Patrick Vieira announced.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to miss two more games De Winter (thigh) "is a couple of weeks from being ready to play in a game," coach Patrick Vieira announced.

Logs six clearance in Inter tilt De Winter had two tackles and six clearances and drew one foul in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Inter.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss season finale De Winter will be unavailable against Bologna on Friday due to muscle fatigue, coach Alberto Gilardino announced.

Impact De Winter became a regular after Radu Dragusin departed in January and had a respectable season, posting 44 tackles, 21 interceptions and 77 clearances in 29 appearances, contributing to four clean sheets. His number of caps and Genoa staying in Serie A triggered the conditioned obligation to acquire him from Juventus. The injury is minor, and he shouldn't be at risk for the Euro, but he'll be evaluated by the Belgium doctors. Matteo Bani or Giorgio Cittadini will replace him versus Bologna.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

He has registered nine tackles (five won), four interceptions, and 13 clearances in his last five showings, with one clean sheet.

JANUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Salernitana game De Winter won one of two tackles, had two interceptions and two clerances, and was cautioned for the fifth time in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Torino.
