In the current tournament, he is third among midfielders for successful passes (730, only fewer than Manuel Locatelli, 875, and Marten de Roon, 863).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the players who scored at least 10 goals in Serie A since 2004/05 (i.e. since Opta has been collecting details on shots), Fiorentina midfielder Danilo Cataldi has the second-highest proportion from outside the box (82%: nine out of 11, including the most recent against Cagliari), behind only Gökhan Inler (93%: 14 out of 15).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Dodo (Fiorentina)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FABBRI (IMPERIALE – CAVALLINA) IV:&amp;nbsp;PICCININI, VAR: ABISSO, AVAR:&amp;nbsp;MARINI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino-Bologna (Saturday 21 December, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina-Udinese (Monday 23 December, 18:30 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
