Marcus Holmgren Pedersen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Unavailable versus Sassuolo Pedersen hasn't been called up for Saturday's game against Sassuolo as he's on the verge of leaving, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Pedersen is in Greece to complete a move to Olympiacos, although it has reportedly been slowed down by some problems with his first medicals, so it remains to be seen whether it'll go through. In the meantime, Niccolo Fortini will take his place on the right wing.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Rested after feeling unwell Pedersen missed Sunday's win over Brazil due to coughing and fatigue but is not injured and should avoid an extended absence, according to coach Stale Solbakken "He is not sick. Ev...

Impact Pedersen was at risk of dropping to the bench even if available, with first-choice right-back Julian Ryerson recovering from a thigh issue and regaining the starting spot in the World Cup playoff match against Brazil. The Torino player will likely offer an alternative to Ryerson in the quarter-finals round, with Fredrik Aursnes also entering the rotation lately. Pedersen had scored once and posted one shot, five crosses and five clearances over 205 minutes of play before his absence.

JULY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Three crosses in win Pedersen generated three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Pedersen sent in three crosses and created a chance during Tuesday's win. The defender did his duty well, but didn't really get as involved in the attack as one would have hoped. Pedersen will be forced to stay back more often against Brazil in the round of 16, as he will likely need to focus solely on defense against their high-flying wings.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Hits the net versus Senegal Pedersen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 3-2 victory over Senegal.

Impact Pedersen played most of the game off the bench since Julian Ryerson got hurt early. He opened the scoring by being alert on a loose ball in the box and rifling it home, with some help from the opposing goalie, who had an imperfect save on his attempt. He hadn't played in the opener. He could get the nod versus France if his teammate is unavailable or limited.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Active on the wing versus Juventus Pedersen registered eight crosses (three accurate), one tackle (one won) and one clearance and created two scoring chances in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Juventus.

Impact Pedersen had his best showing in a while, leading his club in deliveries, but he wasn't too accurate. He uncorked at least one cross in every game this season, averaging 5.4 (0.68) per contest. He scored once, assisted twice and notched 20 chances created, 15 crosses (three accurate) and 23 tackles in 29 displays (23 starts).

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Scores winner off bench Pedersen scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.

Impact Pedersen checked in during the 59th minute and wasted no time making his mark, needing just 11 minutes to deliver the go-ahead goal as he crashed the far post to meet Duvan Zapata's clipped cross and powered a header home in the 70th minute to put Torino up 2-1 for good. He wrapped up his 31-minute shift with two shots (one on target), and added a chance created. Pedersen had been a regular in the starting XI for Toro before dealing with back issues and now looks poised to regain that role down the stretch.

Will be back against Sassuolo Pedersen (back) "isn't in tip-top shape but will bite the bullet to return Friday," coach Roberto D'Aversa stated.

Impact Pedersen has recuperated from a back issue that cost him the last two fixtures and will compete with Valentino Lazaro at right-back. He has swung in at least three crosses in his last four appearances, amassing 18 deliveries (two accurate), providing two assists and notching seven chances created, three tackles (one won) and two clearances during that stretch.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Udinese game Pedersen (back) hasn't been called up for Saturday's clash with Udinese.

Impact Pedersen was on the wrong side of questionable and will skip the second contest on the trot because of back soreness. Valentino Lazaro is the only other right wing-back in the squad, but Alieu Njie and Luca Marianucci can adapt to the position in a pinch.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Late call for Udinese contest Pedersen "isn't 100 percent and will be evaluated over the next couple of days," coach Roberto D'Aversa stated.

Impact Pedersen was a late scratch for the previous fixture and could remain on the mend. Valentino Lazaro returned to the starting lineup after a while in relief, while Alieu Njie played some minutes off the bench in the same position.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Assists again Saturday Pedersen assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Verona.

Impact Pedersen assisted Giovanni Simeone's strike in the 6th minute Saturday, marking his second straight match with an assist.

He also recorded one clearance and blocking one shot as he played the full 90 minutes for the third time in his last four matches.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes out an assist in Pisa game Pedersen assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win against Pisa.

Impact Pedersen set up Che Adams while in reality he was trying to punch it in on a long cross for the other wing, and his teammates pounced on the ball. It's his first helper in the campaign. He has sent in at least one cross in every seasonal appearance, averaging nearly 3.7 per match (0.6 accurate). He has recorded two shots (zero on target), four key passes and three tackles (one won) in the last four fixtures (three starts).

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Lively outing versus Milan Pedersen generated seven crosses (one accurate), one tackle (one won) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-2 loss against AC Milan.

Impact Pedersen was active on the flank and, while he didn't rack up stats as much as Rafael Obrador on the other one, he tallied a new season high in key passes and his highest number of crosses in 2026. He has had at least one delivery in every game this season, averaging 3.65 (0.63 accurate) per tilt. He has registered three tackles (two won), three interceptions and two clearances in his last five appearances (three starts), often splitting duties with Valentino Lazaro, although he has seen full minutes in the last two rounds.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Whips in a cross Pedersen registered one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Bologna.

Impact Pedersen would start Sunday after a bench role last outing, playing the full 90 for a third game in four matches. The midfielder has earned decent time this season with 19 appearances, but is yet to earn a goal contribution, with his main addition to the squad being his 74 crosses from the flank.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Fairly dynamic against Lecce Pedersen generated three shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Lecce.

Impact Pedersen was more lively than in the previous two matches and registered a new season high in shots, but missed the mark in all of them. He's rounding back into shape following an injury. He has delivered three or more crosses in his last 13 showings, totaling 61 (11 accurate). Moreover, he has recorded one tackle in three games in a row, winning one.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Mostly quiet in Como game Pedersen generated three crosses (one accurate) and one tackle (zero won) and one interception in Saturday's 6-0 loss versus Como.

Impact Pedersen returned to the starting lineup after a month having dealt with an injury, as Zakaria Aboukhlal (thigh) was missing, and had a paltry display like most Torino players, although he managed to push his streak of games with at least three crosses to 12. He has totaled 57 (10 accurate) in that span, adding four shots (one on target), seven key passes and 13 tackles (nine won), but with no assists.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Swings in three crosses against Roma Pedersen (knee) created one scoring chance and had three crosses (one accurate), one tackle (one won) and one interception in 57 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Roma.

Impact Pedersen didn't get the start in his return, but still played most of the game as Zakaria Aboukhlal subbed off in the first half and had a passable display. He'll likely return to the initial lineup versus Como on Saturday regardless of his teammate's status. Pedersen has delivered three or more crosses in 11 straight displays, accumulating 54 (nine accurate) and adding seven chances created, 12 tackles (eight won) and nine clearances in that stretch.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Named to bench Pederson (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Roma.

Impact Pederson was set to return Sunday, and after some testing on his knee, he is set to face Roma. It ends a three-game absence, as he will look to return to the starting XI in their upcoming games, marking only his fifth time missing the start this season when fit, following 12 straight starts before the injury.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Returning versus Roma Pedersen (knee) "is feeling better and has put his injury behind him. We'll evaluate whether he could start right away Sunday," coach Marco Baroni relayed.

Impact Pedersen has recovered from a knee bruise that cost him three matches and will be in the mix for Valentino Lazaro and Zakaria Aboukhlal on both flanks. He was a fixture before the injury and logged three or more crosses in 10 straight appearances, piling up 51 (eight accurate) and adding six chances created, 11 tackles (seven won) and nine clearances in that stretch.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Absent versus Atalanta Pedersen (knee) won't return Saturday against Atalanta, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Pedersen hasn't been spotted in training since skipping the previous contest, extending his absence. Zakaria Aboukhlal has absorbed most of his minutes since Niels Nkounkou has been dealing with an illness. Cyril Ngonge and Cristiano Biraghi are also candidates to fill in.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Out again versus Udinese Pedersen (knee) is primed to remain sidelined for Wednesday's fixture against Udinese, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

Impact Pedersen has continued to practice in limited fashion after the Verona match and will miss another tilt. Niels Nkounkou will return from an illness and will duel for the starting job with Zakaria Aboukhlal, who filled in nicely in the past game, while Cristiano Biraghi logged some minutes off the bench.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Missing Sunday Pedersen (knee) is out for Sunday's match against Verona.

Impact Pederson was facing a late fitness test Sunday and has failed to meet the appropriate fitness levels, with the defender not added to the team sheet. He is their typical starter on the right, so this is forcing a change, with Zakaria Aboukhlal entering the call due to his absence Sunday.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Faces late fitness test Pedersen will be evaluated on game day after training on the side during the week because of a bruised knee, Torino informed.

Impact Pedersen is tending to a minor injury and hasn't been ruled out in advance, but he hasn't done much in practice during the week. Niels Nkonkou will likely get the start even if Pedersen manages to get cleared late.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Bows out versus Calgiari Pedersen had one off-target shot and six crosses (zero accurate) and drew one foul in 80 minutes before exiting Saturday's 2-1 loss to Cagliari because of a physical problem, Gianl...

Impact Pedersen was active but rather sloppy, uncorking several deliveries but failing to connect with a teammate. He asked to come out late in the second half and is set for tests before next Sunday's away game against Verona. Niels Nkounkou would likely step in if needed.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

The Norwegian has now started 11 straight matches after initially competing with Cristiano Biraghi for a spot earlier in the season.
