Holds his own versus Sassuolo
Veiga (groin) won one of two tackles and had three interceptions, one cross (zero accurate) and three clearances in Sunday's 3-2 win over Sassuolo.
Analysis: Veiga logged 85 minutes despite bowing out early in the last round and training on the side for most of the week. He was able to maintain his lengthy streaks with at least one cross, one tackle and one clearance. The last one has been going on since the opener. Furthermore, he has notched one or more interceptions in four straight fixtures, accumulating seven, helping secure one clean sheet and notching two key passes and seven crosses (zero accurate) during that stretch.
Returns to squad Sunday
Veiga (groin) has been named in the squad for Sunday's clash against Sassuolo, according to the club.
Analysis: Veiga's inclusion in the matchday squad is an encouraging development after only partially training with the group during Friday's session. The defender has been a consistent presence throughout the season despite managing a lingering groin issue, contributing to eight clean sheets while averaging 2.5 crosses and 3.8 clearances per match. His availability gives the coaching staff their preferred option at the back heading into the final two matches of the season.
