Hello,

it seems like read_player_season_stats() returns the 24-25 player stats when 23-24 is passed as an argument; this seems to be happening with ITA-Serie A (I tried GER-Bundesliga and it worked fine)

FBref or Understat? Can you provide a minimal code example?

This seems to work fine:

>>> import soccerdata as sd

>>> fbref = sd.FBref("ITA-Serie A", "23-24", no_cache=True)
>>> df = fbref.read_player_season_stats(stat_type="standard")

>>> df.loc[("ITA-Serie A", "2324", "Atalanta", "Charles De Ketelaere"), "Performance"]

Gls      10
Ast       8
G+A      18
G-PK      9
PK        1
PKatt     1
CrdY      1
CrdR      0
Name: (ITA-Serie A, 2324, Atalanta, Charles De Ketelaere), dtype: Int64

De Ketelaere scored 10 goals last season, so this is correct!
