Parma vs. US Cremonese - News - March 21, 2026 | FOX Sports

Warren Bondo - Completes suspension Bondo cleared a one-game ban in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Bondo will return against Bologna on April 5 and will compete with Alberto Grassi, Alberto Payero and Youssef Maleh in Cremonese's new-look midfield following a coaching change. He has played just twice in the last nine rounds due to an injury and because he lost prominence. He has tallied three tackles (two won), four interceptions and one inaccurate cross in his last five displays.

He has helped secure three clean sheets in his last six outings, registering three tackles (one won), three interceptions and seven blocks during that stretch. He has posted at least one clearance in every appearance so far, averaging 3.1 per game.

Zion Suzuki - Concedes two in defeat Suzuki made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Cremonese.

Impact Suzuki came up with a big stop before the break by smothering Federico Bonazzoli's glancing header, one of his two saves on the afternoon, but Cremonese cracked the game open after halftime. He was beaten first by Youssef Maleh's rocket from distance in the 54th minute and then again by Jari Vandeputte 14 minutes later. Parma gave him almost no room for error in front of goal as the match got away from them in the second half. Suzuki will try to bounce back after the international break when Parma take on Lazio on April. 4.

Matteo Bianchetti - 13 clearances in victory Bianchetti recorded two tackles (two won), 13 clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Parma.

Impact Bianchetti got the start in the middle of Cremonese's back line and helped lock Parma down to just one shot on target. He anchored a defense that stayed tight through Parma's stronger first-half stretch and then did a solid job protecting the lead after Cremonese broke through in the second half. The defender finished with two tackles (two won), added one interception, and set a new season high with 13 clearances during his shift, four more than his previous best against Verona earlier in the season.

Jamie Vardy - Immediate impact off bench Vardy assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Parma.

Impact Vardy checked in during the 67th minute of Saturday's win over Parma and made his presence felt right away. Less than a minute after coming on, he set up Jari Vandeputte's goal to create the break, and his movement gave Parma a new problem to deal with late while helping Cremonese turn control of the match into a two-goal edge. The veteran missed the previous match with a thigh contusion, but he now looks fully fit again for Cremonese and is likely to regain his clear-cut starting role in the upcoming fixtures.

Youssef Maleh - Scores stunner in victory Maleh scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Maleh put Cremonese on the board with an absolute rocket in the 54th minute after jumping all over a poor Sascha Britschgi clearance. He still had a ton of work left, ripping a vicious first-time left-footed shot from about 20 meters into the far bottom corner. It was a top-shelf finish that flipped the momentum of the match and gave Cremonese the springboard to take control and win. The midfielder also posted a new season high with seven tackles (four won), making his presence felt on both sides of the ball during Saturday's clash.

Jari Vandeputte - Scores first goal of season Vandeputte scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Parma.

Impact Vandeputte doubled Cremonese's lead in the 68th minute and basically put the game on ice. He stayed active down the left flank all match long, chipping in two shots (two on target), four crosses and one chance created. The goal was his first of the season across 25 Serie A appearances. Vandeputte looks like he is starting to make more noise in the final third, as he has logged at least one shot in each of his last four games while creating nine chances over that stretch.
