Defender Ardian Ismajli, sidelined by injury, is back in full training and ready for the league`s restart against Roma. Positive updates also on Njie and Simeone.
The international break brings welcome news for Torino`s coach, Marco Baroni. Albanian defender Ardian Ismajli rejoined full team training yesterday at Filadelfia, marking a valuable and important recovery for the club.
Around mid-August, Ismajli was sidelined with a “partial distractive lesion of the semimembranosus muscle in his right thigh,” as detailed in a club statement on August 14th. This injury occurred during training in Turin, despite him having completed almost the entire pre-season with his new Granata teammates.
As one of eight new summer signings, Ismajli`s full availability allows Baroni to continue practicing with a four-man defense, where he can partner Maripan, and also to explore options for a three-man defense. Ismajli is set to be available for the league`s resumption on Sunday the 14th, at lunchtime, when Torino visits Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Further positive updates emerged from Torino`s latest training session. Forward Njie`s physical condition is reportedly improving. He missed the entire pre-season and the first two Serie A matches due to a minor muscle issue, but is now making good progress and is also on the right track towards full fitness.
Lastly, there`s no serious concern regarding Giovanni Simeone. His substitution in the recent Serie A match against Fiorentina was merely due to cramps, and he remains fully available for Coach Baroni, ensuring a full attacking complement.
