Samuele Ricci - Picks up assist Ricci recorded one assist, one shot (off target) and three chances created versus Monza on Saturday.

Impact Ricci started nine of his 12 appearances for Torino last season and should continue to feature prominently in the starting XI this rest of the season. As such, the midfielder should be capable of offering solid mid-range fantasy value, especially in formats that value passes.

Antonio Sanabria - Scores goal, assist in win Sanabria scored a goal on three shots (three on target) while picking up an assist versus Monza on Saturday.

Impact Sanabria recorded six goals on 49 shots (21 on target) last year and has already opened his account in 2022-23. His highest single-season goal total came back in 2015-16 when he scored 11 for Sporting Gijon and will look to get back over that 10-goal threshold this season.

Aleksey Miranchuk - Scores and subs off against Monza Miranchuk created three scoring chances, took one shot on target, scored a goal and left at half-time in Saturday's 2-1 win over Monza due to a muscular injury, coach Ivan Juric to...

Impact Miranchuk took advantage of a defensive mishap and a quick combination with his teammates to find himself wide open in front of the goalie, bagging his first goal of the season with a classy touch. He is headed for some tests ahead of next Saturday's match versus Lazio. He was replaced by Nikola Vlasic.

Simone Verdi - Not part of the squad Verdi hasn't been named among Torino's call-ups for Saturday's game versus Monza because he's not part of the plans for the season, Il Resto del Carlino reports.

Impact Verdi is set to move again despite faring pretty well at Salernitana last season and most likely will not be involved in the first few matches before the end of the window.

Sasa Lukic - Ruled out for Monza match Lukic (contract dispute) hasn't been called up for Saturday's game versus Monza.

Impact Lukic will indeed be unavailable for his one after an argument with the management. Samuele Ricci, Karol Linetty and Emirhan Ilkhan are the only midfielders available for this one.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sasa Lukic - Likely to miss Monza game Lukic could be left out of the squad for Saturday's match versus Monza after asking the management to either give him a new contract or sell him, Sky Italy reports.

Impact Lukic reportedly didn't practice Friday and has slim chances to feature, although Torino haven't issue their squad list left and they will probably try to mend the relationship with one of their top players. Karol Linetty would likely fill in for him in the midfield if his absence was confirmed, with Aleksey Miranchuk or Nikola Vlasic playing as no.10.

Vanja Milinkovic-Savic - Will open season as starter Milinkovic-Savic has fared well in the pre-season and will be the top option over Etrit Berisha in the first games, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Milinkovic-Savic ceded the starting job to the veteran late last season after a series of blunders, but he had been pretty impressive before getting COVID-19 and hurting his finger. The gaffer will explore the youngster's potential again before eventually switching back to Berisha. He allowed 33 goals, made 48 saves and kept four clean sheets in 27 starts in 2021/2022.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Demba Seck - Will miss Monza game Seck will not be called up for Saturday's match versus Monza because he and the club aren't on the same page about his future, coach Ivan Juric informed.

Impact Seck joined from SPAL last January but didn't get much playing time, and he might be clamoring to leave on loan. His absence might extend to further matches until the situation is solved. The gaffer hinted that Aleksey Miranchuk could start right away despite joining Thursday. Karol Linetty and Sasa Lukic can also adapt to such role.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Armando Izzo - Excluded from squad Izzo will not be involved in the first matches since he will likely leave the club, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Izzo would have probably opened the season as the starter due to a pair of injuries in the back, but the team has decided to go in a different direction. They tried the same move last summer, but he ended up staying, and it remains to be seen whether he will actually leave this time. Brian Bayeye or Michel Ndary Adopo will fill in in the back against Monza. Torino will try to sign multiple center-backs before the end of the window.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Vlasic - Set for loan stay Vlasic will join Torino on loan this season from West Ham United, the club announced Thursday. The deal includes a buy option following the 2022-23 campaign.

Impact Vlasic made 19 league appearances (six starts) for West Ham United last season in which he garnered one goal on seven shots (three on target), 15 crosses (one accurate) and nine chances created. The forward did feature in all six of his Europa League outings for the club but was unable to score a goal despite registering 10 shots (three on target). With West Ham, Vlasic likely would have served primarily as a bench option but should get the chance to start more frequently with Torino.

Aleksey Miranchuk - Moves to Torino Miranchuk has joined Torino on a season-long loan from Atalanta, the clubs informed.

Impact Miranchuk has struggled to find a consistent ole during his time at Atalanta, even though he was generally productive when he was fielded. He posted two goals, five assists, 14 shots and 17 crosses in 19 Serie A appearances (seven starts) last season. He will compete for minutes with Nemanja Radonjic, Demba Seck and the other attackers Torino will bring in later on.

AUGUST 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Emirhan Ilkhan - Moves to Torino Ilkhan has agreed to a four-year contract with Torino upon joining from Besiktas, the team announced.

Impact Ilkhan shined in Youth League in recent seasons and already has 11 appearances in Super Lig under his belt despite his young age. He will be part of the first-team roster and will look to adapt to his new surroundings quickly and work his way up the pecking order. Torino currently aren't very deep in the midfield, so he could have some opportunities early.

Armando Izzo - Ruled out for cup game Izzo (groin) wasn't named in Torino's squad list to face Palermo Saturday.

Impact izzo suffered a groin problem during a friendly and, while his team didn't issue a formal timetable, it's severe enough to sideline him for the first game of the season. With David Zima hurt and Alessandro Buongiorrno suspended, Torino would be very shorthanded for next Saturday's opener against Monza if Izzo didn't make it. Michel Ndary Adopo and Sasa Lukic have occasionally adapted to the role during the summer.

Daouda Weidmann - Transfers to Torino Weidmann joined Torino on a permanent basis after transferring from PSG, the club announced Wednesday.

Armando Izzo - Suffers adductor injury Izzo was subbed out of Saturday's preseason friendly defeat against Nice in the first half after suffering a groin injury.

Impact The severity of Izzo's injury is unclear at the moment, but he still has a few weeks to recover before Torino's season opener against Monza on Aug. 13. With David Zima (shoulder) sidelined, Izzo's potential absence for the season opener will stretch the club's options on the backline.

AUGUST 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Valentino Lazaro - Loaned to Torino Lazaro has joined Torino on a season-long loan with the option to buy from Inter Milan, the club announced Monday.

Impact Lazaro has spent the last two seasons on-loan, recording two assists across 18 appearances in the Portuguese Primeira Liga while with Benfica in 2021/22. The versatile 26-year-old is now moving once again to Torino, where he can feature all along either wing of the pitch.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

David Zima - Suffers dislocated shoulder Zima has suffered a dislocated right shoulder, his club announced Monday.

Impact Zima will likely be out for the first month of the season, at the least. He was a regular on the back line down the stretch of last season, so this could leave his club short a potential starter when the campaign begins Aug. 13 against Monza.

AUGUST 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mergim Vojvoda - Suffers thigh strain Vojvoda has been diagnosed with a grade one rectus femoris strain in the left thigh, Torino announced.

Bremer - Plays in pre-season game Bremer (ankle) came off the bench in Friday's friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Bremer was unable to play in the final two matches of the recent season, but the injury was not too serious and he healed during the break. He is unlikely to still be on the Torino roster until the opener as he has drawn interest from top clubs.

JULY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wilfried Stephane Singo - Features in friendly Singo (groin) got the start in Friday's friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Singo missed the last two matches of the recent season to undergo sports-hernia surgery, and he was able to recuperate during the time off. He will be ready to roll for the opener and will look to build on his best campaign yet. He posted three goals, four assists, 41 shots (seven on target) and 23 chances in 2021/2022.

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nemanja Radonjic - Moves to Torino Radonjic has joined Torino on a season-long loan with conditioned obligation to buy from Marseille, the teams announced.

Impact Radonjic will contribute to replacing Josip Brekalo, who did not want to stay past the long spell, while Torino are still trying to bring back Dennis Praet. He spent last season at Benfica but appeared just 12 times due to a couple of injuries and a low position in the pecking order. He tallied eight goals and three assists in 63 appearances with Olympique Marseille. He is unlikely to be the only addition in the role.

Pietro Pellegri - Bought out by Torino Pellegri has inked a long-term contract with Torino, as they came to terms to redeem him from Monaco, the team announced.

Impact Pellegri showed some flashes after joining on loan in January, and Torino decided to invest a small sum in him considering that they will lose Andrea Belotti, whose contract is expiring. Pellegri might have a bigger role unless the club finds another starting-caliber striker. He notched one goal, five shots (two on target) and one chance in nine appearances (one start) in the second half of last season.
