He has scored five times this year.

Called up Saturday Simeone (calf) has been included in Torino's squad list to face Fiorentina on Saturday.

Impact Simeone will be an option after missing some time due to a calf problem and will likely come off the bench, considering the coach's remarks in the pre-game presser. He has taken at least one shot in every appearance, piling up 42 attempts (18 on target). He has hit the net once in his last six performances.

Might be back against Fiorentina Simeone (calf) "is getting close and just needs minutes to recapture the best form at this point," coach Marco Baroni relayed.

Impact Simeone has shaken off a calf injury that cost him two matches, but the gaffer didn't specify whether he'll call him for this one or he'll stay put to work on his conditioning. In any case, he's not far from coming back. In the same role, Che Adams (undisclosed) has recovered, joining Duvan Zapata, Alieu Njie and Sandro Kulenovic among the offensive weapons.

Will stay out against Lecce Simeone (calf) won't be an option Sunday versus Lecce, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Simeone has continued to train separately because of a calf injury and won't be brought back until he's 100 percent to avoid a more serious issue. Either Duvan Zapata or Alieu Njie will partner with Che Adams since Cyril Ngonge just left the team.

Absent for Como clash Simeone (calf) hasn't been selected for Saturday's game against Como.

Impact Simeone was on the wrong side of questionable and will indeed miss this one while tending to a calf injury that has been bugging him for 10 days. The gaffer sounded hopeful about his availability for the next round against Lecce on February 1st. Two among Che Adams, Cyril Ngonge, Duvan Zapata and Alieu Njie will get the nod up front.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Como contest Simeone (calf) "will be further evaluated, but it's difficult that he'll recover. The risk of a more serious injury is high, and we can't take it. I think it's more likely that he'...

Impact Simeone hasn't been totally ruled out for Saturday, but seems poised to miss this one after not already featuring versus Roma because of a lingering lower leg injury. Duvan Zapata (personal) will be an option to replace him alogn with Cyril Ngonge and Alieu Njie.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't play against Roma Simeone (calf) didn't star in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Simeone was technically available, but the coach later stated that it would have been too risky for him to play, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be fit enough to start against Como on Saturday. Cyril Ngonge, Che Adams and Alie Njieu manned the frontline in relief, as Duvan Zapata (personal) was out.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Option from bench Simeone (lower leg) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Roma.

Impact Simenone will miss no time with his injury but is not yet ready for the start Sunday, with the forward instead listed on the bench. He should return to a starting spot once he tests his legs, with five goals in 17 appearances (13 starts) this season.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Selected on Sunday Simeone (lower leg) has made Torino's squad list for Sunday's match versus Roma.

Impact Simeone will avoid missing time but might initially reside on the bench for the second game in a row because he's not completely fit. Cyril Ngonge or Duvan Zapata would get the nod in that event. Simeone has taken at least one shot in every showing, piling up 42 (18 on target) and scoring five goals.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Roma fixture Simeone "isn't fully fit because of a contusion, but we're confident he'll at least be available," coach Marco Baroni stated.

Impact Simeone has trained on the side for a couple of sessions because of a contusion, but the tests ruled out more severe issues. Duvan Zapata, Cyril Ngonge or Alieu Njie would step in if needed.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring in win Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 win against Verona.

Impact Simeone pounced on an errant Verona pass Sunday to put himself one-on-one with the keeper and score the opening goal of Torino's 3-0 road victory. In four appearances (two starts) since returning from a thigh injury, the veteran forward has peppered the net with 11 shots (seven on target). Overall, Simeone has scored five times across 15 appearances (12 starts), giving him the opportunity to tally double-digit goals in a Serie A season for the first time since the 2021/22 campaign.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Can't score despite five shots Simeone registered five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Cagliari.

Impact Nikola Vlasic scored Torino's lone goal, but there's a strong argument to say Simeone was the team's most dangerous player in this game. Even though he couldn't find the back of the net, the striker continues to pose a threat for opposing defenses. Simeone has four goals this season, but he's in a bit of a slump since his last Serie A goal came in early November. Despite that, he should remain in the starting XI as long as he stays healthy.

Makes bench Saturday Simeone (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Cremonese.

Impact Simeone trained regularly after not being ready to play in the previous match, but he is likely to be eased back in since he returns to the bench for Saturday's clash against Cremonese. The forward will still get a chance to feature later in the game if called upon given his quality as he has scored three goals across his last six appearances, adding 13 shots, five on target, and five chances created when available.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely for Cremonese meeting Simeone (thigh) has recuperated from the injury and should get some minutes versus Cremonese on Saturday, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Simeone made a token appearance on the bench even though he wasn't ready to play in the previous tilt, but he has trained regularly since. He'll re-join Che Adams, Duvan Zapata and Cyril Ngonge among the attacking options. He's been a staple when healthy, but he could be handled carefully for a game or two. He has scored three goals in his last six displays, posting 13 shots (five on target) and five chances created.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets hurt in training Simeone sustained a rectus femoris lesion as a result of a clash in practice, Torino announced.

Impact Simeone will likely miss a couple of matches after the break because of the muscular injury. Che Adams, Cyril Ngonge and Duvan Zapata will divvy up the minutes in the two-man frontline while Simeone is on the mend.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots versus Juventus Simeone drew one foul and registered two shots (one on goal), two clearances and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Juventus.

Impact Simeone had a muted display due to the negative game plan, but he could have still scored thanks to a neat finish from close range if it wasn't for Michele Di Gregorio. He has found the target thrice in the last four rounds, adding 13 shots and five key passes. He has had at least one attempt in every display so far, averaging nearly 2.5 per game.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hits the net against Pisa Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two clearances in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Pisa.

Impact Simeone had a few good opportunities as usual and found the target with a very sneaky header on a long cross, starting his team's comeback. He maintained his streak of season-long streak of performances with at least one shot and has amassed 25 in 10 fixtures (eight on target). He has scored thrice in the last five matches, adding 11 attempts (four on goal), four chances created and four clearances.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet performance in win Simeone had one off-target shot, created one chance and drew two fouls during Sunday's 2-1 win over Genoa.

Impact Simeone was far from being the threat that scored in each of the previous two games as he barely touched the ball here and couldn't find the target on the lone shot he had. The striker, who attempted at least three shots in each of his previous five starts, will hope this game was just an outlier but Wednesday's visit to Bologna and their stout defense will be a tough challenge.

Napoli 'absorbing the masters' teachings' in Champions League but Antonio Conte hopes to 'surpass' European giants after 'carving out role' for Kevin De Bruyne

Strikes in Napoli game Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (one on target) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Napoli.

Scores in draw Simeone scored a goal off three shots (one on target) and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Lazio.

Impact Simeone was at the right place to slot home a rebound from the goalkeeper in the 16th minute but then he couldn't threaten as expected upfront, especially during the second frame, which led him to be subbed off during the final stages of the contest. Anyway, that's now two goals over the last four starts for the striker, who remains ahead of Che Adams in the fight for playing time.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score Simeone recorded four shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Atalanta.

Impact Simeone had plenty of chances and did put a couple shots on frame, but couldn't beat Atalanta's stellar goalkeeper. The forward should maintain this volume against a Parma team which has conceded just five times in four games but struggles to keep the ball out of its own half.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores winning goal against Roma Simeone scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Roma.

He had an earlier header off target and contributed with three shots and two tackles. Simeone scored his first goal of the season with his new club after joining from Napoli over the summer and has already matched his goal tally from the last two seasons. The forward will look to rediscover the form he showed during his time in Verona.
