Mikayil Faye - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Comes off the bench versus Roma Faye (face) had one inaccurate cross, one interception and one clearance in 16 minutes in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Roma.

Impact Faye saw some action in the second half, contributing a little on the defensive end. All Cremonese defenders could be bumped up since Federico Baschirotto (undisclosed) is expected to miss multiple matches, but Faye is unlikely to become a starter. He has posted two crosses (zero accurate), one interception and one clearance in his last three cameos.

Fit for Roma match Faye (face) "has healed up from his injury," coach Davide Nicola relayed.

Impact Faye will return after skipping two games and will be an extra option in a couple of roles. He has been an unused sub several times throughout the season. He has notched five crosses (zero accurate), seven tackles (five won) and six clearances in his last six outings (two starts), with no clean sheets.

Will keep missing time Faye (face) hasn't been selected by Cremonese for Sunday's meeting with Genoa.

Impact Faye will skip another one because of a facial trauma, leaving Cremonese a little thin behind the top four options in the back since Federico Ceccherini (undisclosed) is also absent, but Matteo Bianchetti (undisclosed) is good to go.

Unavailable versus Roma Faye has been ruled out for Monday's fixture against Roma because of a facial trauma, Cremonese relayed.

Impact Faye will attempt to recover for the ensuing game, but the team didn't disclose the severity of the issue. He occasionally came off the bench when other options were unavailable in the back or on the left flank, totaling seven appearances (two starts). Sebastiano Luperto, Francesco Folino and Romano Floriani Mussolini will absorb his meager playing time.

Doesn't feature in Lazio clash Faye (ankle) was an unused sub in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Lazio.

Impact Faye was an option after sitting out a month, but wasn't fielded in this one, even though Cremonese were a little short-handed without Matteo Bianchetti (nose). He'll be an extra option in the back and on the left wing going forward.

Named to bench Faye (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Lazio.

Impact Faye is healthy and with the team again Saturday, recovering from his ankle injury as expected. This ends a four-match absence, and he will likely return to a bench role moving forward, only starting in two of his five appearances this campaign.

Fit for Lazio game Faye (ankle) has been named in Cremonese's squad list to face Lazio on Saturday.

Impact Faye has overcome an ankle problem that sidelined him for a month and will resume being an option in a pair of roles on the left-hand side of the pitch. If in good enough shape, he could compete with Federico Ceccherini to replace Matteo Bianchetti (nose) in the back. He has notched at least one tackle in his last four appearances, totaling six (five won) and adding four interceptions and six clearances in that stretch, with no clean sheets.

Out versus Roma Faye "is nursing an ankle sprain and has trained on the side during the break," coach Davide Nicola announced.

Impact Faye got banged up two weeks ago and will need more time to return. He's also in doubt for the ensuing matches. He filled in for Giuseppe Pezzella, who's returning in this one, and also relieved Matteo Bianchetti once in recent months.

Hurt in Pisa bout Faye recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in 77 minutes in Friday's 1-0 defeat versus Pisa and exited early due to an ankle issue,...

Impact Faye drew his first start of the season, as he was picked over Romano Floriani Mussolini to replace Giuseppe Pezzella (lower leg) on the left wing and had a fairly dynamic display, but turned his ankle while trying to contain Idrissa Toure on the game-winning goal and was helped off the pitch by the medical staff. He'll take the exams early during the break. Cremonese will face Roma on November 23 and will likely have more pieces at their disposal, as Alessio Zerbin (undisclosed) was also on the mend for this one.

Active defensively in draw Saturday Faye generated three tackles (three won), three clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Atalanta.

Impact Faye was one of the standout performers at the back for Cremonese in this draw. The young defender is on loan at the Italian club and hasn't seen a ton of minutes, as this was his first start of the campaign. Thus, he's not expected to carry a ton of upside unless he finds a way to crack the XI regularly -- and even in that scenario, his upside would probably be matchup-based considering Cremonese's struggles on defense.

Joins Cremonese on loan Faye has joined Cremonese on loan from Rennes for the 2025/26 season, with an option to purchase, his former club announced.

Impact Faye arrived last summer in Rennes from the reserve team of FC Barcelona and has featured in 11 games for the Bretons. The defender wasn't in the plans of coach Habib Beye and will now continue his career in the Serie A for at least one season.
