Torino FC faces a major injury scare with Che Adams, Duvan Zapata, and Ardian Ismajli sidelined. Roberto D’Aversa's squad prepares for Udinese with key absences. Get the full story.
Torino FC is grappling with a significant injury crisis, facing new concerns for Che Adams, Duvan Zapata, and Ardian Ismajli, just ahead of their crucial Serie A match against Udinese. This situation severely tests the Granata squad, which was already dealing with several absences.
Scotland international striker Che Adams has sustained a hamstring strain in his right leg, while Duvan Zapata suffered a muscular issue with the adductor in his left thigh. As for defender Ardian Ismajli, the exact nature of his problem was not fully specified, but he is confirmed injured and unavailable.
These new setbacks compound the existing absences of Zakaria Aboukhlal and Tino Anjorin, who were carrying knocks from the 2-2 draw with Inter. Coach Roberto D’Aversa now faces the challenge of having very few alternatives available for the upcoming fixture.
The crucial Serie A fixture against Udinese is scheduled for Saturday at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, kicking off at 15:00 CEST (14:00 UK time). It will be a test of strength for the team, which must demonstrate resilience despite the numerous defections.
Precise medical diagnoses were confirmed by a statement on the club's official website, highlighting the depth of the crisis for the Granata. This situation severely tests Torino FC's squad at a crucial point in the season, requiring creative solutions from the technical staff.
