Ligue 1
Dealing with fitness issues
Paixao (fitness) is dealing with physical issues and will likely be assessed ahead of each game moving forward, coach Roberto de Zerbi said in the press conference.
ANALYSIS
Paixao was forced off in the 79th minute of Saturday's draw against Paris FC due to ongoing fitness issues he has been dealing with for several weeks, largely stemming from his recent positional switch. The Brazilian moved from an attacking midfield role to wing back during Emerson's absence (thigh), which has clearly taken a toll physically. Paixao is likely to be a late call ahead of upcoming games, although he doesn't deal with any kind of injuries.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Bournemouth
Bournemouth are being linked with a move for Igor Paixao, according to Fraser Fletcher of TeamTalk.
ANALYSIS
It wouldn't be surprising if Bournemouth need to sign at least one winger this summer, as the likes of Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo are being linked with moves away from the Cherries. Igor Paixao is one of the team's top targets, and the Feyenoord star is likely to be a highly-targeted player due to his recent displays both in the Eredivisie and the UEFA Champions League.
