KOFFI DJIDJI NEWS

Doesn't play versus Milan Djidji (thigh) was an unused sub in Saturday's 3-1 win over Milan.

Impact Djidji returned to the bench after two months, but the game was competitive until the end, and the coach preferred using healthier players. Adrien Tameze starred in the back over Mergim Vojvoda and Matteo Lovato in this one. He has featured 13 times (eight starts), notching 14 tackles, 15 clearances and 10 interceptions, with two clean sheets.

Coming back against Milan Djidji (thigh) "has resumed training and will be on the bench versus Milan on Saturday," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Djidji will be eased into action after missing two months due to a severe thigh injury. He'll look to get some minutes down the stretch. He has logged 10 tackles (six won), eight clearances and five interceptions in his last six appearances, contributing to two clean sheets.

Out for several matches Djidji has been diagnosed with a lesion of the distal tendon of the left semitendinosus muscle, Torino announced.

Impact Djidji is expected to be out for at least 45 days and might not return this campaign if he needs surgery to address the issue, which has yet to be determined. Saba Sazonov will fill in until Matteo Lovato (calf) and Adrien Tameze (thigh) return from injury.

Limps off against Napoli Djidji registered two tackles (zero won), two clearances and one interception before leaving Friday's 1-1 draw with Napoli due to an apparent thigh injury, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Djidji had an okay performance considering he was under intense pressure but couldn't finish the game due to a muscular problem. Since Adrien Tameze (thigh) and Matteo Lovato (thigh) are currently hurt, Saba Sazonov is the next man up.

Paltry in Lazio fixture Djidji (ankle) had one interception and one clearance in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Lazio.

Makes starting XI Djidji (ankle) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Lazio.

Impact Djidji will not miss any time with his most recent injury, having been given the start after going down with an ankle issue in training on Wednesday. This will only be the defender's fifth start all season, but he appears to be capturing that role after being sidelined due to injury for the first half of the season, now having started three matches in a row. He will hope to leave his injury concerns behind him from here on out, trying to maintain his spot in the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Lazio match Djidji (ankle) has been called up for Thursday's tilt versus Lazio, Torino informed.

Impact Djidji will play through a minor ankle injury and has strong chances of staying in the starting lineup due to a lack of alternatives. He has tallied seven tackles (five won), four interceptions and three clearances in his last five showings, with one clean sheet.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Lazio fixture Djidji has been dealing with an ankle problem, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Djidji will have to pass a late fitness test to play, but the gaffer didn't sound too concerned about his availability. Adrien Tameze (illness) isn't 100 percent either, so he might have to bite the bullet. The alternative would be to field Matteo Lovato and Saba Sazonov together, which would be a first as they are both better suited to play in the middle on the defense.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in cameo against Salernitana Djidji (groin) committed one foul and recorded no other stats in 25 minutes in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Salernitana.

Impact Djidji played the final chunk of the game but didn't need to intervene as Salernitana mustered very little offense. He could be back in the XI on Saturday as Ricardo Rodriguez (thigh) and Adrien Tameze (calf) subbed off in this one. He has tallied three tackles (three won), four interceptions, and five clearances in his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for Salernitana tilt Djidji (groin) will be available Sunday against Salernitana, coach Ivan Juric informed.

Impact Djidji skipped the last game but was mostly managed and didn't suffer a new injury. He could replace Adrien Tameze in the back, as he did in the two percent fixtures. He has tallied three tackles (all won), two interceptions, and three clearances in his last three appearances.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Cagliari game Djidji "isn't in the best conditions, and we don't want to risk him," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Djidji won't be an option for Friday's away game versus Torino as he's occasionally bothered by a groin injury that sidelined him for months. Adrien Tameze, David Zima, and Saba Sazonov are the next men up in the role.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on the bench for Bologna game Djidji (groin) didn't play in Monday's 0-2 loss to Bologna.

Impact Djidji was back in the squad after a groin injury but was an unused sub. He should unseat Adrien Tameze and David Zima once fully healthy, but he might need some time for that.

Earns bench nod Djidji (groin) is on the bench for Monday's match against Bologna.

Impact Djidji is on the team sheet for the first time this season after finally recovering from groin surgery.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up for Bologna game Djidji (groin) made Torino's squad list to face Bologna on Monday.

Impact Djidji has recovered from two surgeries to repair a tricky case of sports hernia. While he's fit enough to be available, the coach sounded skeptical about deploying him, so it could be a week or two before he sees minutes even though Torino are quite depleted in the back.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needs another surgery Djidji (groin) "will miss two, two-and-a-half months because he needs to go under the knife again," coach Ivan Juric announced.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't be available to start season Djidji (groin) "is recovering slowly," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Djidji has yet to begin ramping up in a serious fashion and therefore he's likely to miss further matches on top of the Cagliari one. Torino are down to three healthy defenders, as David Zima isn't 100 percent either.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not yet recovered Djidji (groin) wasn't called up for Monday's cup fixture against Feralpisalo as he's still rehabbing after having sports hernia surgery, Tuttomercatoweb relays.

Impact Djidji hasn't played in the friendlies either, so he's more likely than not to miss time at the beginning of the season. Alessandro Buongiorno, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Mergim Vojvoda stand to benefit from his absence playing time-wise.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stays at Torino Djidji added a year to his contract, which now runs until 2024, Torino announced.

Impact Djidji would have been out of contract in July, but the club managed to come to terms at the buzzer, and he'll likely remain a regular in 2023/2024, although he'll probably have to split time with a younger teammate.

Holds his own in Lazio clash Djidji had two clearances, one block, and four interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Lazio.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs four clearances versus Udinese Djidji (nose) won one of two tackles and had four clearances and one shot on target in Sunday's 1-0 win over Udinese.

Fit for Udinese tilt Djidji (nose) is good to go for Sunday's match against Empoli, coach Ivan Juric informed.

He has logged five tackles (two won), two interceptions, nine clearances, and four blocks in the last four matches, with no clean sheets.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Empoli game Djidji (nose) won't be available versus Empoli, coach Ivan Juric relayed.

Impact Djidji will miss at least one game due to a nose fracture. The gaffer added that his backup David Zima is out as well, so one among Alessandro Buongiorno, Rodriguez Rodriguez, and Brian Bayeye will have to adapt to the role.
