DNP in Udinese fixture Gabbia (groin) didn't feature in Saturday's 3-0 defeat versus Udinese.

Koni De Winter has replaced him for the most part. Gabbia was a staple of the formation before getting hurt and has tallied at least one clearance in eight appearances in a row, amassing 43, contributing to two clean sheets and adding 10 tackles (three won), five interceptions and six blocks over that span.
