Surprisingly called up for Inter match Praet (thigh) has been named in Torino's squad list to face Inter Wednesday.
Impact Praet had been ruled out by the coach in the pre-game presser because of a recent thigh injury, but his tests came back clean and should be an option for this one. It is possible that the problem will keep him from starting as usual, with Karol Linetty or Josip Brekalo taking his place.

Playing against Udinese Praet (thigh) will be in the starting XI versus Udinese on Monday.
Impact Praet will be starting his third straight match and appears to have cemented his spot on the pitch. If he can in fact hold onto his spot in the starting XI, the midfielder should be capable of providing top-half fantasy value in an attacking midfield role.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Spezia game Praet (fatigue) has been included in Torino's squad list to face Spezia Saturday.

He will compete for the starting job with Simone Verdi. He has tallied one goal, one assist, six shots and nine chances created in five games (two starts).

Impact Praet had a great offensive outing as he found the back of the net in the first half to help his side take home all three points. The midfielder's playing time, however, has been a concern as he has started only once in the last three games. He will push to be confirmed in the starting XI Saturday versus Spezia after a great offensive performance.

On bench against Genoa Praet (thigh) will be available as a substitute versus Genoa on Friday.
Impact If he gets onto the pitch, it would be the first appearance for Praet since Sept. 17 versus Sassuolo. That was the midfielder's only start this season, having been an unused substitute three other times, so fantasy players probably shouldn't expect him to be a fixture in the starting XI this year.

Unavailable against Juventus Praet (thigh) will not return in Saturday's derby with Juventus, coach Ivan Juric announced.
Impact Praet has been out for a couple of weeks because of a pull and needs more time to recuperate. Karol Linetty has been the main beneficiary of his absence, but he has not been a major fantasy asset. Simone Verdi should also see some minutes given their absences.
