Gaspar
LEC
Finds the target against Udinese
Gaspar scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), seven clearances and two tackles (one won) in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Udinese.
Analysis: Gaspar started over Jamil Siebert and broke the deadlock early with a header on a corner kick for his first goal of the season. He has tallied multiple tackles, amassing 15 (eight won), and at least three clearances, totaling 33, in his five starts, contributing to two clean sheets and notching two interceptions and four blocks over that span.
Logs double-digit clearances against Venezia
Gaspar had 11 clearances, one interception and one block and won three of four tackles in Sunday's 2-0 win over Venezia.
Analysis: Gaspar was booked three minutes into the game but managed the situation well, avoiding risky fouls, containing the opponents soundly and racking up stats. A major knee injury limited him to 23 games last season, during which he notched 23 tackles, 17 interceptions and 141 clearances, with seven clean sheets.
Unused sub in Sassuolo match
Gaspar (knee) didn't play in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Sassuolo.
Analysis: Gaspar completed his rehab from a major knee injury, but the coach stuck with players in better form in a key game, primarily Jamil Siebert. He's a long shot to play much in the season final against Genoa on Sunday as well, but he'll be fully healthy heading into the summer.
Back available Sunday
Gaspar (knee) has been named in the squad for Sunday's clash against Sassuolo, according to the club.
Analysis: Gaspar's inclusion in the matchday squad is a significant milestone after being sidelined since late February with the knee injury. The defender's rehabilitation has progressed well, and while his involvement may be limited given the length of his absence and the performances of his replacements, his return to the squad is a welcome development for Lecce heading into the final two matches of the season.
Recovers from significant injury
Gaspar (knee) has successfully ramped up in training, Lecce announced.
Analysis: Gaspar has been out since late February because of a severe knee injury, but the rehab has gone well, and he could be part of the squad for one of the last two games. It's not sure he'll be utilized, given his long absence and the fact that his replacements have been fine. He has helped secure one clean sheet in his last seven displays, registering nine tackles (three won), seven interceptions and 48 clearances.
