He scored the equalizing goal that secured a point for Il Toro as they clawed their way back from a two goal deficit. From 15 appearances (10 starts) he has scored four goals and made an assist. This was his second strike in four games.

Impact Schuurs delivered the assist for Torino's opening goal on Saturday which was finished by Samuele Ricci.

Impact Ricci scored Torino's first goal on Saturday, it was his first of the season (he has also contributed an assist). The midfielder played his part in attacking moves (he placed two of the four shots-on-target Torino managed in the game) but he could have been more effective in developing plays and helping out his defense, who were poor and contributed to his team going 2-0 down by the half. He has made 14 appearances (12 starts).

He has now conceded 57 (1.1 per game) and managed 22 saves (2.9 per game).

Ivan Ilic - Set to leave Ilic is no longer with the team as he's about to transfer, coach Marco Zaffaroni announced.

Impact Ilic might complete his move to Torino before Monday's match versus Udinese, and won't be available in any case. Miguel Veloso picked up an injury, so Ibrahim Sulemana is likely the next man up in the midfield.

Ola Aina - Makes bench as expected Aina is fit and in the match day squad to face Empoli on Saturday.

Impact Aina returns to the squad after recovering from a thigh injury that has kept him out two months. The wing-back starts from the bench but is available if called upon Saturday.

JANUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Emirhan Ilkhan - Called up for Empoli game Ilkhan (Achilles) is available for Saturday's match versus Empoli, Torino announced.

Impact Ilkhan will resume being an option after missing multiple matches due to a wound on the back of his leg. He has featured just four times so far, and the other options on the midfield are currently healthy.

Ola Aina - Should be back versus Empoli Aina (thigh) returned to full training in the lead-up to Saturday's game against Empoli, TuttoSport relays.

Impact Aina will likely have to go through a late fitness test, as the coach didn't announce his return in the pre-game presser. He has missed two months with a thigh injury, so he'll be eased into action, with Wilfried Singo and Mergim Vojvoda retaining the starting jobs on the wings at first. He has tallied one goal, seven chances created, 20 crosses (seven accurate), and 13 tackles in ten appearances (seven starts) so far.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Perr Schuurs - Fully fit for Empoli game Schuurs (hip) "had a clean week of practice," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Schuurs will be back in the XI after sitting the previous game due to a hip contusion. He has provided an assist and logged five tackles (three won), five clearances, and one block in the last three starts.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

David Zima - Will miss Empoli game Zima will sit Saturday's match against Empoli due to a knee injury, coach Ivan Juric informed.

Impact Zima would have started since Koffi Djidji is out, but he's nursing some soreness in the area. The gaffer was optimistic about a quick recovery, but they'll have to be creative in the role given the absences Saturday.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Koffi Djidji - 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.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sasa Lukic - Set to be bench option versus Empoli Lukic (thigh) "resumed training fully Thursday and will be on the bench versus Empoli," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Lukic has shaken off his injury pretty quickly, but he won't start right away, so either Michel Adopo or Karol Linetty will partner Samuele Ricci in this one. He has tallied four shots (one on target), two chances created, five crosses (zero accurate), and three tackles (two won) in the last three games.

Impact Djidji contributed to containing the opponents with a stingy showing in the back and put up good numbers, but he got smacked hard in the face. The ensuing tests quickly confirmed the fracture. It remains to be seen whether he'll be able to play through the problem after being fitted with a mask, or if the medical staff will decide to hold him out. He was replaced by David Zima, who would enter the XI in Saturday's home game versus Empoli if he couldn't start.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - Keeps clean sheet in win Milinkovic-Savic made five saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win at Fiorentina.

Impact Milinkovic-Savic had possibly his best performance of the season Saturday, making five saves and keeping a clean sheet at Fiorentina. It's by far the most saves he's had while keeping a clean sheet this season, and his fifth game this season with five or more saves. Milinkovic-Savic has an even easier matchup next Saturday, as the team travels to Empoli who have scored just 16 goals in 18 matches this season.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Samuele Ricci - Creates two chances in win Ricci created two chances, had one shot on target and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 1-0 win at Fiorentina.

Impact Ricci had a solid performance Saturday, as he led the team in chances created. Ricci also managed one shot on target. He also picked up a yellow card at the end of the first half for a bad foul, his fourth booking of the season. Ricci has just one assist this season in 13 appearances, so while there were nice chances Saturday, his lack of goal contributions should not be overlooked.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mergim Vojvoda - Assists in win Vojvada had one assist on one chance created, made two clearances and one tackle in Saturday's 1-0 win at Fiorentina.

Impact Vojvada assisted the only goal Saturday, as he found Aleksey Miranchuk in the 33rd minute for the winner. It was the only chance created he had in the game, and essentially his only contribution on the attack. It was his fourth assist of the season in 13 appearances (eight starts), which is more than all of his teammates by double. Given his high number of assists despite starting less than half of the matches, he should remain a good option as long as he remains in the starting XI.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksey Miranchuk - Scores winner versus Fiorentina Miranchuk scored one goal on one shot on target and made one tackle in Saturday's 1-0 win at Fiorentina.

Impact Miranchuk scored the only goal of the game Saturday, slotting his shot past Pietro Terracciano in the 33rd minute off an assist from Mergim Vojvada. This marked his fourth goal this season (tied for the lead on the team) in 13 appearances. He now has two goals in five matches since Serie A returned from the World Cup break. Miranchuk has a fairly difficult matchup at Empoli next Sunday who have only allowed 22 goals in 18 matches this season.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Perr Schuurs - Questionable for Fiorentina game Schuurs "is unlikely for Saturday's match versus Fiorentina, but we have a little hope to bring him to the bench," coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Schuurs picked up a hip contusion in the previous game and has been unable to shake if off fully. Given the coach's words, either Alessandro Buongiorno or David Zima will start over him Saturday.
