What should Tottenham expect from Igor Tudor - and can Serie A's tried-and-trusted substitute teacher save Spurs from relegation?

Jurgen Ekkelenkamp - Provides assist in loss Ekkelenkamp assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Sassuolo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th min...

Impact Ekkelenkamp set the tone early, teeing up Oumar Solet's 10th-minute opener after pouncing on a high turnover and slipping him in with precision. He logged serious work down the right midfield channel and was a key driver in Udinese's first-half momentum, consistently pushing them into dangerous pockets as they hunted a second goal. After the break, Sassuolo raised the tempo and played through the press, flipping the script, but Ekkelenkamp still made it three straight Serie A matches with at least one chance created, adding up to one goal and one assist over that stretch.

Maduka Okoye - Concedes two in loss Okoye had one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Sassuolo.

Impact Okoye gave up two goals in a flash early in the second half as Sassuolo flipped a one-goal deficit into a 2-1 advantage. He had done his part to keep Udinese in control through a composed first half, handling the routine traffic while Sassuolo struggled to generate anything truly dangerous. Once the equalizer hit the net, the momentum swung immediately and the second goal followed right behind it, putting Udinese on their heels. Okoye had little chance on either strike and finished with just one save on the day, the first time he has been held to a single stop since late December. He will aim to bounce back and steady the line in Monday's matchup against Bologna.

Oumar Solet - Scores and bows out late against Sassuolo Solet scored one goal to go with three tackles (two won), two shots (one on target) and four clearances before exiting Sunday's 2-1 loss to Sassuolo at the 86th minute because of a...

Impact Solet opened the scoring with a clever finish from the edge of the box, wrong-footing the goalie by toepoking the ball near the first post, and put up decent numbers in the back, even though his side conceded twice. He tried to play through an adductor ailment late in the game but eventually subbed off and is set for tests. Kingley Ehizibue or Christian Kabasele would take his place if he weren't available versus Bologna next Monday.

Jakub Piotrowski - Wins one tackle against Sassuolo Piotrowski (knee) had one inaccurate cross and two tackles (one won) and drew two fouls in 11 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Sassuolo.

Impact Piotrowski saw some action late in the second half after recovering from a knee sprain. He'll attempt to win back a regular spot at the expense of Lennon Miller or Jurgen Ekkelenkamp going forward. He has posted one key pass, three crosses and four tackles (three won) in his last five displays.

Jakub Piotrowski - Should be back against Sassuolo Piotrowski (knee) has been spotted in training and should be an option for Sunday's game versus Sassuolo, Messaggero Veneto reported.

Impact Piotrowski appears to have recovered from a knee sprain within the expected timetable, sitting out three fixtures. Lennon Miller has taken advantage of the fact that both he and Nicolo Zaniolo were out at the same time. Piotrowski has put up at least one clearance in the last 10 showings, racking up 17 and adding 15 tackles (eight won) and adding 17 shots (three on target) and six chances created, with one goal and one assist during that span.

Adam Buksa - Fielded very late against Lecce Buksa (calf) committed one foul and didn't record other stats in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Lecce.

Impact Buksa returned after sitting out six games because of a calf injury, but didn't play much. He might need more time to start, but he'd be the most straightforward replacement for Keinan Davis (thigh), who's slated to skip multiple contests. Vakoun Bayo, Idrissa Gueye and Nicolo Zaniolo are also in the mix at the position.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Oumar Solet - Converts spot kick Solet scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Solet equalized in the 26th minute with a well placed spot kick. He made 31 passes and also recorded four tackles, three clearances and a block. He performed very well lately and has now registered 21 clearances, 13 tackles and 12 interceptions across the last five games.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Maduka Okoye - Lets in two Okoye made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Okoye recorded 22 passes and also made two clearances. He conceded a stunning freekick in the 90th minute. He has now accumulated 18 saves and three clearances in the last five games and has conceded six times. Next, he takes on Sassuolo, who are located in the midtable and have lost four of their last six games.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Buksa - Fit for Lecce fixture Buksa (calf) "has resumed training, will be on the bench Sunday and maybe will play part of the game," coach Kosta Runjaic informed.

Impact Buksa has healed up after tending to a calf strain for six weeks and could make a cameo and contribute to replacing Keinan Davis (thigh). Nicolo Zaniolo, Vakoun Bayo and Idrissa Gueye are the other options in the role. Buksa has been deployed as a sub in his last six appearances, tallying four shots (one on target), one chance created and one interception.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Keinan Davis - Will miss a month Davis has been diagnosed with left adductor strain and is expected to return in four weeks, Udinese announced.

Impact Davis got away with a standard lesion, as there was fear of a more serious problem, and will sit out at least the next four matches. Nicolo Zaniolo will resume being a regular once he's completely fit following a knee injury. Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo will likely enjoy an uptick in minutes sans Davis.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Kingsley Ehizibue - Five tackles in victory Ehizibue generated five tackles (four won), four clearances and one interception in Monday's 1-0 win against Roma.

Impact Ehizibue made his first start on the right flank since late November due to the absences of Hassane Kamara (foot) and Alessandro Zanoli (knee), providing Udinese with reliable width without overextending once they took the lead. He remained locked in defensively and played a key role in seeing out the match, holding his own behind the ball with one interception, four clearances, and a season-high five tackles (four won). Ehizibue is likely in line for another start in Sunday's clash against Lecce if Kamara remains sidelined.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jurgen Ekkelenkamp - Scores goal from free-kick Ekkelenkamp scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 1-0 win versus Roma.

Impact Ekkelenkamp scored the winner in the 49th minute with a long-range free kick that clipped Donyell Malen in the wall and wrong-footed Mile Svilar. He was also sharp between the lines in the first half, as Udinese looked the more direct side in spells. After the goal, he put in a strong defensive shift to slow Roma's build-up and protect the lead, finishing with three shots (three on target), three tackles, one interception, and two deemed fouls.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Maduka Okoye - Keeps clean sheet in victory Okoye registered three saves and secured a clean sheet in Monday's 1-0 win versus Roma.

Impact Okoye posted a clean sheet with three saves, including a key stop on Donyell Malen in the 29th minute on a Roma counter. He stayed locked in late as Roma ramped up the pressure and was credited with a massive save deep into stoppage time to preserve the lead. His command of crosses was solid, and he helped Udinese see out the match with composed distribution in the closing minutes. This marked his first Serie A clean sheet since mid December and his fourth in 15 appearances this season. Okoye will look to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup against Lecce.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Subs in late against Roma Zaniolo (knee) had one pass, drew one foul and committed one while being deployed in the final minutes of Monday's 1-0 victory over Roma.

Impact Zaniolo saw limited action in his return and helped manage the lead in the stoppage time. He might lead the line with Keinan Davis seemingly suffering a serious thigh injury in this one. Regardless of the role, he's set to be a fixture once he's closer to 100 percent. He has scored once, assisted twice and posted nine shots (four on target), eight key passes and 21 crosses (eight accurate) in his last five displays.

Keinan Davis - Limps off against Roma Davis had one tackle (zero won) and left Monday's match at the 57th minute because of a muscular injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact David had a quiet display and pulled up during a sprint early in the second half and was in visible pain upon exiting the pitch. He's set for tests before Sunday's clash with Pisa. Idrissa Gueye was picked over Vakoun Bayo to replace him in this one, while Nicolo Zaniolo is being eased into action after a knee problem.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Nicolo Zaniolo - Option from bench Zaniolo (knee) is on the bench for Monday's match against Roma.

Impact Zanilo has passed his testing and made the team sheet Monday, with the attacker earning a spot on the bench after some knee complaints. He should find an immediate starting spot after testing his legs in a match, only his third match missing the start when available all season.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Branimir Mlacic - Transfers to Udinese Mlacic is heading to Udinese on a permanent deal from Hajduk Split.

Impact Mlacic comes in after the departures of backups Saba Goglichidze and Matteo Palma and will handle a similar role behind the top options in the back. He has appeared 15 times in Croatia this season, dishing out two assists.

Impact Zaniolo has solid chances of returning after sitting out two matches because of a knee procedure, but he's a long shot to see many minutes. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Arthur Atta moved to more attacking roles sans him. He has recorded at least one cross in his last nine appearances, racking up 42 (13 on target). He has taken one or more shots in all but one game so far this season.
