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.
