Currently, in our StatsPerform deserializer we potentially set the replacement_player as None in case the player off event is not directly followed by a player on event, which happens in approx 1% of the matches, see: https://github.com/PySport/kloppy/blob/master/kloppy/infra/serializers/event/statsperform/deserializer.py#L396-L406.
In order to support substitution events where no new sub on player is coming on the pitch for the sub off player, we add a check to see whether the replacement player actually exists prior to updating its position.
For context, a related discussion on substitution events: #362.
