He has notched three or more clearances in six of the last seven matches, totaling 25 and posting seven shots (three on target), six chances created and seven crosses (two accurate). He failed to record multiple tackles after doing so in the previous six tilts, accumulating 25 (17 won).

Assists, receives fifth yellow card Locatelli provided an assist but picked a one-game suspension after being shown his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Fiorentina.

Impact Locatelli put in a strong display which included an assist for his team's opening goal in the draw. Unfortunately for him, he'll be unavailable for the upcoming derby against Torino due to card accumulation, leaving his squad without an element that had been essential in ball recovery and distribution. He'll subsequently return to contention for the Jan. 14 trip to Atalanta. Weston McKennie, who has recently been deployed at left-back, could fill in for Locatelli, though both Nicolo Fagioli and Douglas Luiz are other viable candidates.
