Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - Suffers finger injury Milinkovic-Savic sprained the index finger of his left hand in practice and will be re-evaluated over the next few days, Torino announced.

Impact Milinkovic-Savic is going to miss at least Sunday's match versus Bologna, the team implied, and potentially more depending on how the situation evolves. Etrit Berisha is technically the top backup, but Luca Gemello got the nod in the only game missed by Milinkovic-Savic thus far as the teammate was dealing with a minor injury at the time, and fared pretty well.

Impact Mandragora led his team in multiple categories thanks to a few vicious corner kicks, putting together his best stat-line of the season.

Tommaso Pobega - Starting Friday Pobega (nose) will be in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Juventus.

After starting January as a substitute in four contests, the midfielder appears to have secured his place in the starting XI moving forward. In 21 appearances this year, Pobega has generated four goals on 30 shots (seven on target), two assists and 24 clearances and should offer decent mid-range fantasy value when on the pitch.

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Marko Pjaca - Will miss Juventus game Pjaca was not included in Torino's squad list to face Juventus Friday due to a technical decision, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Impact Pjaca probably did not look great in practice and the coach decided to leave him home even though they are short-handed at the position given Dennis Praet's injury. Either Tommaso Pobega or Karol Linetty will fill in next to Josip Brekalo behind the striker in this one.
