Hobbles off against Juventus
Taylor had three crosses (one accurate), one interception and one chance created before leaving Sunday's win over Juventus in the second half because of a potential thigh injury, Sky Italy reported.
Analysis: Taylor had a routine performance in the midfield, contributing on both ends, and was already supposed to sub off before signaling some discomfort and limping off. He'll need to be evaluated ahead of Saturday's home game against Parma. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru took his place in this one.
Suspended for season finale
Taylor committed two fouls, drew one and received his fifth yellow card in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Roma.
Analysis: Taylor had one of his least convincing displays since moving to Serie A and will miss the last game against Pisa due to yellow-card accumulation. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru will likely substitute for him. He has been a day-one starter and has been solid for the most part since coming in from Ajax, notching three goals and two assists and recording 16 shots (six on target), 13 key passes and nine crosses (one accurate) in 17 games (all starts). He's poised to be a building block for the future.
Paltry outing in Cremonese bout
Taylor (illness) registered two clearances and one chance created and committed one foul in 70 minutes in Monday's 2-1 win against Cremonese.
Analysis: Taylor continued starting despite being under the weather, but wasn't at his best and didn't stick out on either end. He has logged two assists in the last five contests, adding four chances created, two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles (one won).
Starting Monday
Taylor (illness) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Cremonese.
Analysis: Taylor had some small doubts Monday but is already back with his team, not missing any time with his illness. This gives the club back a regular starter who should remain in this role until the end of the season, earning three goals and two assists in 15 appearances 915 starts) this campaign.
Small doubt ahead of Cremonese tilt
Taylor should be available versus Cremonese but dealt with the flu for most of the week, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
Analysis: Taylor was spotted at the training center on the eve of the game, but might drop to the bench since he skipped multiple training sessions in the lead-up to the clash. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru or Nicolo Rovella would eventually take his place.
