Defensive force in Cagliari tilt

Karlstrom (thigh) had one tackle (one won), three blocks and seven clearances and drew two fouls in Saturday's 2-0 win over Cagliari.

Analysis: Karlstrom returned to his usual workload following an ailment and a suspension and was instrumental in stifling the adversaries with his physical presence in the midfield. He has tallied at least one tackle in his last six displays, accumulating eight (six won) and posting eight interceptions, three chances created and six blocks over that span. Additionally, this marked his ninth consecutive outing with one or more clearances (26 total). Instead, he interrupted a three-game string with one shot.

Set to be back versus Cagliari

Karlstrom (undisclosed) has recuperated and is in the running to start Saturday, Sky Italy reported.

Analysis: Karlstrom sat out the previous game due to muscle fatigue, but had a good week of training and could recapture his usual starting job. Jakub Piotrowski, Lennon Miller and Oier Zarraga are the other options with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp (lower leg) on the shelf. Kalstrom has logged at least one tackle in his last five outings (all starts), totaling seven (five won) and recording four shots (zero on target), eight interceptions and three key passes over that span. Additionally, he has tallied one or more clearances in his last five performances, totaling 19.
