Koffi Djidji will be the starter in this position in the next few matches.

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.

He has posted 13 tackles, 12 interceptions and 26 clearances in 14 matches so far, with one clean sheet.

MARCH 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Inter clash Zima is likely going to miss Sunday's game versus Inter because of an illness, coach Ivan Juric announced.

Impact Zima is one of the many Torino players that came down with the flu in the last week or so and might not be called up for this one. He has occasionally challenged Koffi Djidji for the starting job, but he has not played in the last three matches.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Holds up against Juventus Zima took two off-target shots, had three interceptions and two clearances and won four duels in Saturday's 0-1 loss to Juventus.
