Faris Moumbagna - Suffers new injury Moumbagna sustained an adductor strain, Cremonese announced.

Impact Mboumbagna has been in and out of the squad list for various reasons in the last few months and hasn't played since mid-January, as he has several attackers ahead of him in the depth chart. He'll likely be unavailable for two of three matches due to his latest setback.

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.

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.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Audero - Keeps clean sheet in win Audero had one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Parma.

Impact Audero posted a clean sheet in Cremonese's 2-0 win at Parma. He was called into action just once, comfortably handling Mateo Pellegrino's long-range shot in the first half before Parma's later looks failed to truly challenge him. His work was sharp, his distribution steady, and his back line did a strong job locking down the box after Cremonese grabbed the lead. Audero now has eight clean sheets in 26 Serie A appearances this season and will look to keep that momentum rolling against Bologna after the international break.

MARCH 21 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Jamie Vardy - Called up for Parma fixture Vardy (thigh) has been included in Cremonese's squad list to face Parma on Sunday.

Impact Vardy has shaken off a bruise that cost him one game and will resume tussling for minutes with Milan Djuric, who has been more effective as of late. He hasn't contributed to a goal in nine matches, tallying 11 shots (four on target), seven chances created and five crosses (zero accurate) during that stretch.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Emil Audero - Struggles in loss Audero had two saves and allowed four goals in Monday's 4-1 defeat to Fiorentina.

Impact Audero faced six shots and stopped only two of them during a one-sided loss. It was a day to forget for the goalkeeper as he was unable to slow down the Fiorentina attack at any point throughout the match. He struggled to contain the attack and let in a few goals he would have wanted back. With some tough matches coming up, there's no obvious bounce back spot for Audero.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Ceccherini - Assists on lone chance Ceccherini assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 defeat versus Fiorentina.

Impact Ceccherini created a single chance during Monday's loss, and earned an assist on that one chance. The defender did well in his limited chance to get forward, though he's not a constant goalscoring threat. In tough matches this isn't likely to be a pattern going forward for Ceccherini.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

David Okereke - Nets in loss Okereke scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Monday's 4-1 defeat against Fiorentina.

Impact Okereke scored once on four shots during a disappointing rout at the hands of Fiorentina. The forward was the lone offensive threat for most of the match and took four shots putting two of them on goal. The forward just didn't have the space to make too much of a difference in the loss.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Warren Bondo - Will sit out Parma game Bondo won one tackle and drew one foul and was cautioned for the fifth time in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Bondo drew his first start in two months, as he missed time with an injury and had tumbled down the pecking order, but he didn't have a noteworthy showing, and he'll miss Saturday's away contest versus Parma due to yellow-card accumulation. Alberto Grassi, Jari Vandeputte or Martin Payero will get the nod in the midfield.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Giuseppe Pezzella - Eligible to face Parma Pezzella completed a one-game ban in Monday's 4-1 loss to Parma.

Impact Pezzella will return against Parma on Saturday and likely start over either Tommaso Barbieri or Romano Floriani Mussolini. He has tallied at least one tackle in four straight appearances, accumulating 10 (eight won) and posting four key passes and four clearances over that span. Additionally, he launched at least one cross in every seasonal appearance, averaging 4.1 (1.13 accurate).

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Faris Moumbagna - Unused sub versus Fiorentina Moumbagna (undisclosed) returned to the bench but didn't play in Monday's 4-1 loss to Fiorentina.

Impact Moumbagna was back on the squad list after sitting out three fixtures but didn't get minutes, even though Jamie Vardy (thigh) wasn't available in this one. He has also been leapfrogged by David Okereke in the pecking order, in addition to Federico Bonazzoli, Milan Djuric and Antonio Sanabria. He has featured five times in the campaign (zero starts), posting two shots (zero on target), one chance created and one inaccurate cross.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Unavailable against Fiorentina Vardy won't be involved Monday due to a left thigh contusion, Cremonese announced.

Impact Vardy picked up a knock in the previous game and hasn't been able to recuperate. He'll try to do so ahead of Saturday's away game versus Parma. Milan Djuric or Antonio Sanabria will team up with Federico Bonazzoli up front.

MARCH 16 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Faris Moumbagna - Not expected back soon Mboumbagna is out indefinitely because of a muscular problem, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Mboumbagna has missed the last three matches, and his physical problem turned out to be more serious than initially anticipated. The coach reinstated David Okereke, who had been frozen out early in the campaign, in the same role, which likely indicates that Mboumbagna will be missing for a while.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jari Vandeputte - Wins three tackles against Lecce Vandeputte had two clearances, one off-target shot and one interception and won three of four tackles in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Lecce.

Impact Vandeputte drew his second start in a row but mostly contributed defensively, unlike in the previous game, and was replaced by Martin Payero, who has been banged up lately, at halftime. His 10-game streak with at least one key pass ended, and he failed to send in one cross for the first time in the season. He has tallied at least one tackle in four straight displays, accumulating nine (seven) and logging 31 deliveries (five accurate), 14 corners and eight chances created through that stretch.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Tommaso Barbieri - Returns to starting lineup in Lecce game Barbieri won three of three tackles and had one shot (zero on goal), two clearances and four crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Lecce.

Impact Barbier worked his way back to the initial XI after three matches and was solid on both ends in the loss. He'll tussle for minutes with Alessio Zerbin, Romano Floriani Mussolini and Giuseppe Pezzella for two spots going forward. He has put up nine crosses (two accurate), six tackles (three won) and seven clearances in his last five appearances.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Youssef Maleh - Passable performance against Lecce Maleh created one scoring chance and recorded one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one interception in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Lecce.

Impact Maleh picked up small numbers on both ends and matched his season high in crosses but was imprecise. He has sent in at least one in seven displays in a row, totaling 17 deliveries (three accurate) and adding 12 tackles (two won), five key passes and nine shots (one on target) over that span.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Filippo Terracciano - Completes disqualification Terracciano served a one-game ban in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Lecce.

Impact Terracciano will be eligible to play against Fiorentina next Monday and will be in the mix to start either in the back, competing with Matteo Bianchetti or Francesco Folino, or on the flank, where Giuseppe Pezzella (suspension) will be unavailable. He has notched 11 clerances, five tackles (three won) and six interceptions in his last five outings (three starting), helping secure one clean sheet.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Giuseppe Pezzella - Sees red after Lecce match Pezzella registered six crosses (zero accurate), two tackles (two won) and two corners and was sent off after subbing off in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Lecce.

Impact Pezzella had a fairly dynamic display, pacing his team in deliveries but failing to connect with a teammate in any of them. He was expelled after the final whistle for arguing a late call too vehemently. He'll be unavailable for at least next Monday's home game versus Fiorentina. Alessio Zerbin or Romano Floriani Mussolini will replace him on the wing.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Milan Djuric - Dishes out helper versus Cremonese Djuric assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), three clearances and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Djuric relieved Jamie Vardy at half-time and made an immediate impact, teeing up Federico Bonazzoli with a nice flick-on. He also logged a new season high in chances created. He'll be in contention to start in the next few rounds. He has gotten the nod just once in the last six fixtures, totaling six shots (four on target), three key passes and one cross (zero accurate).

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Federico Bonazzoli - Scores in Lecce contest Bonazzoli scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target), one tackle (one won) and five crosses (two accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Lecce.

Impact Bonazzoli came alive in the second half like most of the Cremonese squad and found the target with a relatively easy finish from inside the box after combining with Milan Djuric. It's his sixth goal in the season, but he hadn't netted one since early December. He has fired at least one shot in the last four games, amassing 13 attempts (three on target) and adding five crosses (two accurate) and five tackels (three won) through that stretch.
