Held in check in Verona match
Paz recorded one shot (zero on goal), one clearance and two crosses (zero accurate) and won two of two tackles in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Verona.
Analysis: Paz had a down game relative to his standards, especially offensively, but had a pretty well-rounded output overall. He has registered at least one shot in 18 appearances in a row (17 starts), piling up 54 and scoring six times over that span. He has tallied seven chances created, 13 crosses (three accurate) and three corners in the last five rounds.
Makes starting XI
Paz (head) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Napoli.
Analysis: Paz retained his starting role after the health scare that had seen him taken to a local hospital on Sunday, with the early and subsequent examinations all coming back negative and clearing him to continue as a regular starter without any disruption to his involvement. The midfielder has fired at least one shot in 16 consecutive appearances, notching 61 attempts, four goals and 14 chances created over that span, making his continued availability a significant boost for a side that relies heavily on his attacking output. His ability to come through the medical checks unscathed is a major relief for the coaching staff heading into the weekend.
