Available as substitute Buongiorno (hip) was named to the match-day squad against Cremonese on Monday.

Impact Buongiorno has recorded six shots (zero accurate) in his last five matches despite playing in a central defensive role. While the defender will primarily rack up defensive stats, he registered 15 clearances, 14 interceptions and 12 tackles (nine won) in those five contests, he should be a target in the box on freekicks and corners. Barring any setbacks, Buongiorno should be in the mix to retake his place in the starting XI soon.

Probable for Cremonese bout Buongiorno (hip) was able to train fully following a minor problem in the Milan game, Rai informs.

Impact Buongiorno wasn't listed among the injured players by the coach in the pre-game presser, so he's set to be at least called up. He generally rotates with Ricardo Rodriguez. He has started six consecutive matches, posting 12 tackles (nine won), 14 interceptions, 18 clearances, and four blocks, with two clean sheets.

Subs off in Milan clash Buongiorno left Sunday's 0-1 loss to Milan at the 57th minute due to an apparent muscular injury, La Repubblica relays, after recording four interceptions, two tackles (both won),...

Impact Buongiorno had a pretty good showing on both ends, but he couldn't continue after requiring medical attention for a hip/thigh issue. He was replaced by Mergim Vojvoda, while Ricardo Rodriguez returned to his regular role in the back. That will likely be the case going forward if he has to miss time.

Clears suspension Buongiorno served his one-game ban in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Torino.

Impact Buongiorno sat out one due to yellow-card accumulation. He'll compete with Ricardo Rodriguez to man the left-hand side of the backline in Sunday's away game versus Salernitana, and he seemed to have the upper hand on the veteran teammate before the break. He has posted nine tackles, 23 interceptions, 28 clearances, and six blocks in 12 appearances (ten starts), contributing to one clean sheet.

Will miss Verona contest Buongiorno had one interception and one clearance, created one scoring chance, and was booked for the fifth time in the season in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Roma.

Impact Buongiorno left early due to a hamstring injury, but it won't be an issue since it's reportedly minor. On the other hand, he'll skip January 4's home game against Verona due to yellow card accumulation. If Perr Schuurs (elbow/shoulder) isn't ready, David Zima and Ricardo Rodriguez would start next to Koffi DJidji in the back.

Leaves with injury Buongiorno was replaced by Ricardo Rodriguez in the 55th minute of Sunday's match against Roma.

Impact Buongiorno appeared to be grabbing at his hamstring after leaving the pitch. Despite this injury, the World Cup and winter break provides plenty of time for Buongiorno to recover before league play resumes in 2023. He's made 10 starts in 12 appearances to open the season, keeping one clean sheet and conceding five yellow cards.

Shines against Lazio Buongiorno had one block, two clearances and four interceptions and won six duels in Saturday's 0-0 tie versus Lazio.

Impact Buongiorno had a great display in his seasonal debut and won the personal battle with the much more decorated Ciro Immobile. Perr Schuurs has just been signed to eventually lead the defense, but the two can also feature together.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available after suspension Buongiorno served his one-match ban and will be available versus Lazio on Saturday.

Impact Buongiorno started just 12 of his 23 appearances for the club last season, in which he recorded two assists, six shots (one on target) and six crosses (one accurate), so he is far from a lock for the starting XI now that his suspension is behind him. Even if the defender does start, his limited offensive upside will likely prevent him from being more than a mid-range fantasy option at best.

AUGUST 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss season opener Buongiorno (calf) won four duels, had one clearances, committed two fouls and picked up his fifth yellow card in Friday's 0-3 loss to Roma.

Impact Buongiorno managed to return earlier than expected from a calf strain and subbed in at halftime, but he caused a PK and got booked in the process, earning a one-game suspension for yellow-card accumulation. He finishes with two assists, 20 tackles, 31 interceptions and 43 clearances in 23 appearances (12 starts).

MAY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Roma game Buongiorno (calf) has been named in Torino's squad list to face Roma Friday.

Impact Buongiorno has managed to recover enough to be an option for the season finale, where he will provide some depth to the defense. He has tallied four tackles (two won), six interceptions, seven clearances and one block in the last five appearances, with no clean sheets.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play in final games Buongiorno has been diagnosed with a grade-one strain of gastrocnemius muscle in the left calf, Torino announced.

Impact Buongiorno might be done for the season since it generally takes three-to-four weeks to recover from this kind of injury. If that was the case, he would close with 18 tackles, 31 interceptions and 42 clearances in 22 appearances (12 starts), on top of two assists. He has alternated with Ricardo Rodriguez during the course of the campaign.

MAY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Napoli game Buongiorno will miss Saturday's match versus Napoli due to a muscular problem, Torino announced.

Impact Buongiorno got hurt in the final practice and will be better assessed in the next few days. Bremer is expected to return to the XI after sitting out the previous game. David Zima and Armando Izzo move up in the pecking order sans Buongiorno.

MAY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Convincing in Inter game Buongiorno took two off-target shots, sent in two crosses (one accurate), created two scoring chances and had three clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Inter.

Impact Buongiorno started over Ricardo Rodriguez for the first time in a month and was surprisingly active in the final third. The two defenders will be in contention in Friday's away game versus Genoa. Buongiorno has logged two assists, 14 tackles, 25 interceptions and 29 clearances in 16 appearances (ten starts).

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pretty good against Udinese Buongiorno (thigh) had two interceptions and three clearances, drew four fouls and took one off-target shot in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Udinese.

Impact Buongiorno played through a thigh issue, but he could not go to distance and was replaced at the 52nd minute, when the game was still nil-nil. With Bremer back from suspension, he will compete with Ricardo Rodriguez to start in Saturday's home game versus Venezia, but he had not played in the previous three games. He has notched 13 tackles, 25 interceptions and 21 clearances in 14 matches, with one clean sheet.

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Udinese tilt Buongiorno picked up a minor thigh injury and is in doubt for Sunday's match versus Udinese, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Buongiorno was poised to return to the XI to replace the suspended Bremer, but he will be a late call. The coach suggested Armando Izzo would get the nod if Buongiorno was not available.

FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in draw Buongiorno provided one assist, created one chance, won two tackles, made four clearances, two interceptions and one block in Thursday's 2-2 draw versus Empoli.

Impact Buongiorno had a good offensive outing as he registered one assist to help his side tie the game. The center-back, however, holds little fantasy value outside of racking up defensive stats and being an aerial threat on set piece situations. He has collected two assists in nine appearances this season.

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist off bench Buongiorno logged one assist from one chance created in 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 4-0 win over Salernitana.

Impact Buongiorno has come off the bench twice in two games and set up Sasa Lukic for the final goal of the night. With the lineup mostly laid out, Buongiorno will need to improve even more in Friday's trip to Sassuolo in order to increase his value.
