Lucas Digne - Page 5 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to be fine Digne was removed from Saturday's match against Wolves because of a stomach issue, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact Digne was immediately back in the starting XI following a return from a muscle injury and then he had to be taken off almost immediately Saturday because of a stomach bug. He should be fine for the upcoming game against Tottenham and he'll hope to regain the form he had more than a month ago.

Leaves injured in loss Digne was forced off the pitch in the 14th minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss against Wolves.

Impact Digne was back in the starting XI after missing the previous match with an injury. But the left back lasted only 14 minutes on the pitch before having to be subbed off due to what looked to be a different issue. With Digne's status for next Saturday's home match against Tottenham being uncertain, Ashley Young will probably be his replacement if he needs to miss any additional time.

Ready to play Saturday Digne (strain) was deemed fully fit ahead of Saturday's clash with Wolverhampton. Manager Steven Gerrard told reporters, "Lucas Digne has come through 90 minutes with France, we ar...

Impact Digne has racked up 51 crosses (10 accurate), 18 corners and one assist in eight matches for Villa. The left-back should be a near-lock for the starting XI and figures to offer top-end fantasy value given his ability to push the attack from the backline.

Set for sideline spell Digne (muscular) is considered a doubt for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact It seems like Digne had a scan Monday and will be out a period of time unless the Villa Twitter account is messing around, telling the defender he'll "be back stronger." A further update will likely be revealed in the coming days, but it's safe to say he won't be playing before the break.

Exits injured Sunday Digne was forced off in the 10th minute of Sunday's match against West Ham with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Digne couldn't continue after suffering an injury early and it's unfortunately an immediate exit. He'd been going a full 90 in every match for Villa, so this definitely changes some things up, though Ashley Young is a capable replacement at left-back.

Starting versus Leeds Digne (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Leeds.

Impact Digne is back in the starting XI after Ashley Young got the call last match in a 4-0 win. Digne will likely resume his role on set pieces where he's racked up crosses in his six starts with Villa. He did a little bit of everything in the prior match against Leeds, also totaling three tackles, two interceptions and six clearances.

Available Thursday Digne (COVID-19) is available for Thursday's match against Leeds, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Digne is available again, though it's unknown how long he's been back with the team following COVID-19 and if he's able to start again. There's a chance Ashley Young gets another start at left-back and then Digne comes on as a replacement in the second half.

Out against Southampton Digne is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Southampton.

Impact It's a late absence for Digne and it's a wonder if it's COVID-19 related. The left-back had started the prior six matches, which is every match since he's been at Villa. With Matt Targett no longer in the side, Ashley Young is getting a rare start Saturday on the back line.

Good going forward Digne crossed nine times (one accurate) and created two chances during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle.

Impact Digne was a part of the Villa back line that conceded one goal, but it was going forward where he made an impact. The fullback finished with team-high totals in crosses and chances created in the win.

Sends seven crosses in 3-3 draw Digne had one shot (off target), seven crosses (one accurate), two aerials won, three corners, three tackles (all won), two interceptions and six clearances in Wednesday's 3-3 draw...

Impact Digne was active on the flank but just wasn't his day and couldn't really make the most of his opportunities on the ball. The full-back though is off to a great start of his Villa career after racking up one assist on five chances created and 16 crosses while adding three shots, five tackles and six interceptions over his three starts for the club.

Impact Digne provided what was needed from him in his Aston Villa debut Saturday. The wingback who was known for his flank play with Everton offered the same style of play for Aston Villa, something they don't consistently get. Unfortunately, the set-pieces were rather murky though with multiple players involved -- something to keep an eye on --. Digne will certainly become relevant again with consistent minutes and his typical aggressive playstyle.
