Historic day of defeats for big teams in Serie A; Monza wins

Two of the top Serie A coaches are already feeling the pressure after Juventus and Inter Milan lost on a miserable day for some of the traditional greats of Italian soccer

Shines against Juventus Izzo created two scoring chances, won six duels, and had five interceptions and six clearances in Sunday's 1-0 win over Juventus.

Impact Izzo was by far the busiest defender for his side and shut down anybody playing in his area. He has logged five tackles, five interceptions, and six clearances in three games. He's set to keep seeing major minutes.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

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

Does not play against Roma Izzo was an unused sub in last Friday's 0-3 loss against Roma.

Impact Izzo headed back to the bench after two straight starts as the coach went with an experimental lineup in the season finale.

Does not feature against Empoli Izzo (thigh) was an unused sub in Sunday's 3-1 win over Empoli.

MAY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Empoli game Izzo (thigh) will be called up for Sunday's match versus Empoli, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Will miss Spezia match Izzo (thigh) was not included in Torino's squad list to face Spezia Saturday.

APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Spezia game Izzo has been limited by a small thigh issue in recent days, Sky Italy informs.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gritty against Genoa Izzo had two interceptions and two clearances and won four of six tackles and 13 duels in Friday's 0-1 loss to Genoa.

Impact Izzo replaced the injured Koffi Djidji and filled the stat-sheet thanks to an impressive performance.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Subs in well against Inter Izzo had three interceptions and five clearances and won five duels and two of two tackles in 39 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Inter.

Impact Izzo came off the bench to replace the injured Koffi Djidji and was energetic in the back. He has rarely played this season but, considering this performance and the fact that David Zima is under the weather, he could get his second start in Friday's away game versus Genoa. He has notched three crosses, three tackles, eight interceptions and eight clearances in five appearances.

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unused versus Juventus izzo (back) did not play in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Juventus.

OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up new problem Izzo will miss Monday's game against Venezia due to severe back pain, Torino announced.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back versus Venezia Izzo (calf) has logged two full practices in a row and is set to be available for Monday's game versus Venezia, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.

Impact Izzo has had trouble shaking off a calf contusion, but he has made strong progress in the last couple of days. He could be eased into action at first, but he should supplant Koffi Djidji down the line.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable versus Sassuolo Izzo (calf) is having trouble absorbing a bruise he picked up a week ago, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Izzo will miss another one and will try to come back in the next Thursday's match versus Lazio. Lucas Zima fared well in his debut and has good chances to be confirmed. The alternative would be Koffi Djidji.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Salernitana game Izzo will sit out Sunday's match versus Salernitana with a bruised calf, Torino informed.
