Wins eight duels in Milan game Pellegri drew five fouls, won eight duels, and had one tackle (zero won) in 68 minutes in Saturday's 4-1 defeat to AC Milan.

Impact Pellegri played a lot since Antonio Sanabria subbed off early but didn't have a lot of success in the final third, other than being a muscular presence. He's technically next in line should the starter miss time, but the coach also has the option of using Nikola Vlasic as a false-nine. He has scored twice and added ten shots (five on target), and five key passes in 18 appearances last season (four starts), often struggling to stay healthy.

Available against Lecce Pellegri (thigh) will be called up for Sunday's game versus Lecce, but "he's far from the best shape," coach Ivan Juric informed.

Impact Pellegri hasn't played since November due to multiple thigh problems, and he'll need some time to round back into form, should he stay healthy.

Unused versus Udinese Pellegri (thigh) didn't feature in Sunday's 1-0 win over Udinese.

Impact Pellegri was a bench option after sitting out five matches, but the coach made different choices.

He has scored once and added six shots (three on target), four chances created, and three inaccurate crosses in 11 appearances (four starts).

Will sit Roma clash Pellegri (ankle) won't be involved in Sunday's away game versus Roma, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Pellegri will miss the second game in a row due to an ankle sprain. Antonio Sanabria is said to be in better shape and could get the nod in this one. Otherwise, the coach could go with Nikola Vlasic as a false-nine and Aleksey Miranchuk and Nemanja Radonjic as no.10s, which worked out in the previous game. Pellegri has logged one goal, six shots (three on target), four chances created, and three inaccurate crosses in 11 appearances (four starts).

Ruled out for Sampdoria match Pellegri (ankle) didn't make Torino's squad list to face Sampdoria Wednesday.

Impact Pellegri didn't feel good in practice earlier today and won't be involved despite the previous optimism by the coach. Yann Karamoh is the frontrunner to replace him since the gaffer suggested that Antonio Sanabria doesn't have many minutes in his legs following a calf injury. The alternatives would be to field Demba Seck or use Nikola Vlasic as a false-nine.

Might play against Sampdoria Pellegri (ankle) "didn't suffer a severe injury, and we'll see whether he'll practice later today. If he's fit, he'll start," coach Ivan Juric informed.

Impact Pellegri turned his ankle very early in the past game, but he might not miss further time, although he will have to pass a late fitness test on match-day. He has scored once and added three shots (two on target), four chances created, and three inaccurate crosses in the last five games (three starts). Yann Karamoh substituted him over the weekend, while Antonio Sanabria is back from a calf injury, but the gaffer suggested just that he would come off the bench.

Diagnosed with minor injury Pellegri suffered a left ankle sprain, but with no ligament damage, Torino announced.

This was the first goal of the season for the forward and he'll hope this helps him to remain in the lineup for the upcoming games.

Comes off bench versus Juventus Pellegri (thigh) had one pass in 20 minutes in Saturday's 0-1 defeat against Juventus.

Impact Pellegri managed to play through some thigh soreness, but he didn't record any meaningful start.

Unlikely for Juventus match Pellegri has a sore scar in his thigh and will likely miss Saturday's game versus Juventus, coach Ivan Juric informed.

Impact Pellegri didn't pick up a new injury but is in doubt because of the residue of frequent old ones, which occasionally don't allow him to practice and play, the gaffer added. With Antonio Sanabria also doubtful, Demba Seck or Nemanja Radonjic will likely adapt to the no.9 role Saturday.
