Nemanja Radonjic - Unlikely for Milan game Radonjic (thigh) has worked on the side for most of the week and is doubtful for Friday's match versus Milan, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
Impact Radonjic is headed for another absence unless he shows signs of improvement in the final training session. Nikola Vlasic, Aleksey Miranchuk, and Yann Karamoh are the top options in his role when he's out.
FEBRUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Yann Karamoh - Fit for Milan clash Karamoh (nose) is good to go for Friday's match versus Milan, coach Ivan Juric announced.
Impact Karamoh subbed off early in the past game but didn't sustain a fracture and will be able to play Friday. He got his first start in months and scored versus Udinese. He has logged seven shots (four on target), two chances created, and two inaccurate crosses in the past five appearances. He'll compete primarily with Nikola Vlasic and Aleksey Miranchuk.
FEBRUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Ilic - Set to be bench option versus Milan Ilic will be available for Friday's match against Milan, but "he needs two-or-three weeks of practice to be in top shape," coach Ivan Juric announced.
Impact Ilic has recovered from a contusion, but it could be a while before he starts, even though Samuele Ricci is out with a calf injury. Unless the gaffer adapts somebody, Karol Linetty, Ronaldo Vieira, and Michel Adopo are the only other options in the role.

Pietro Pellegri - Picks up new problem Pellegri is nursing myofascial pain in the biceps femoris muscle of the right thigh, Torino announced.

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Samuele Ricci - Suffers calf injury Ricci has been diagnosed with a grade-one strain of the soleus muscle in the left calf, Torino announced.

Pietro Pellegri - 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. His competitors Antonio Sanabria and Demba Seck are both in decent forms, so he'll have to wait for his opportunity. He has scored once and posted three shots (two on target), four chances created, and three inaccurate crosses in the last five appearances (three starts).
FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Koffi Djidji - 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.
Impact Djidji worked his way back after missing one game due to a nasal fracture and turned in a solid shift. He'll compete with Andreaw Gravillon moving forward since David Zima picked up a serious knee injury. He has notched seven tackles (three won), two interceptions, and 13 clearances in the last five appearances, with one clean sheet.
FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

He faces a tough match Friday at AC Milan who have scored 37 goals in 21 league matches this season.

Ola Aina - Assists in win Aina had one assist on two chances created, took one off-target shot, had five crosses (three accurate) and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 1-0 win over Udinese.
Impact Aina assisted the only goal of the game Sunday, as he found Yann Karamoh with a cross in the 49th minute. It was one of his two chances created in the match, and he also whipped in five crosses, three of which were accurate. He also had a decent defensive performance in the clean sheet, as he intercepted one pass, blocked one shot and made two clearances. The only negative aspect of his performance was a yellow card in the 86th minute for a bad foul, his fourth booking of the season.
FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aleksey Miranchuk - Creates four chances in win Miranchuk created four chances, took one off-target shot and had three crosses (two accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Udinese.
Impact Miranchuk created four chances Sunday, which was both the best on the team and his most this season. He failed to register a shot on target for the first time in the past six matches, but his creation made up for the lack of shots. He also set season highs in corners taken, crosses and accurate crosses, which are promising signs for the creative element of his game moving forward.

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

Pietro Pellegri - Set to return to bench versus Udinese Pellegri (thigh) has resumed training fully and will be an option Sunday against Udinese, coach Ivan Juric relayed.
Impact Pellegri has missed five weeks due to a thigh strain and will at most see limited minutes in his first game back. He has split minutes with Antonio Sanabria when healthy, while Demba Seck has come on while he was out. He has scored once and added six shots (three on target), four chances created, and three inaccurate crosses in 11 appearances (four starts).

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Zima - Will miss extended time Zima will have surgery on his torn meniscus and could be out for more than three months, coach Ivan Juric announced.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ivan Ilic - Will miss Udinese game Ilic won't be available versus Udinese due to a knock, coach Ivan Juric announced.
Impact Ilic got banged up during his debut for his new team in Coppa Italia and won't be involved a few days later. Karol Linetty or Michel Adopo will join Samuele Ricci in the midfield following the departure of Sasa Lukic.
