Thorstvedt has now been involved in eight goals this season with four goals and four assists, setting a new career-high in his three years with the club.

Arijanet Muric - Beaten twice in defeat Muric made two saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss versus Torino.

Impact Muric logged two saves in Friday's 2-1 loss at Torino, including a quick-reaction stop off Nikola Vlasic's corner in the second half when Gvidas Gineitis rattled the crossbar twice from point-blank range, but he was picked apart on Giovanni Simeone's header in the 67th minute and Marcus Pedersen's back-post finish in the 71st minute. He had little to no shot on either goal given the pinpoint service from Enzo Ebosse and Duvan Zapata that set up both chances. Muric got the nod with Stefano Turati (illness) sidelined, but he's expected to slide back into a backup role after losing his grip on the starting job over the previous three matches.

He snapped a three-match streak with multiple shots and a four-match one with one or more clearances due to his reduced playing time. He has scored and assisted once in his last five outings, adding four chances created, nine crosses (four accurate) and five corners.

He has come off the line in his last seven appearances, failing to pick up stats in the final third, drawing two fouls and registering two interceptions and three clearances. He has tallied at least one tackle in three straight showings, amassing six (four won).

Domenico Berardi - On bench versus Torino Berardi (muscular) is among the substitutes for Friday's clash against Torino.

Impact Berardi's availability gives his side an attacking boost after he scored his eighth goal of the season in the previous match before suffering a minor issue. He'll serve as an alternative to Cristian Volpato on the right wing and could replace him in the initial lineup in subsequent fixtures.

Darryl Bakola - Available versus Torino Bakola (knee) "hasn't trained a lot recently but will be with us Friday," coach Fabio Grosso informed.

Impact Bakola will be an option after sitting out four matches because of a knee sprain, but he will be eased into action since he's far from 100 percent and had a limited role beforehand. He has assisted once and added two key passes, one cross (zero accurate) and five tackles (zero won) in his last four appearances (one start).

Domenico Berardi - Questionable for Torino clash Berardi "is dealing with a minor muscular injury, and we'll use all the time at our disposal to assess whether he'll recover for Friday," coach Fabio Grosso announced.

Impact Berardi escaped without serious consequences but could still miss this one or be managed carefully to avoid more severe problems. Cristian Volpato would likely get the call on the right flank if he were unable to start.

Stefano Turati - Single save clean sheet Turati had one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 2-0 win against AC Milan.

Impact Turati faced just a single shot Sunday, stopped it, and earned a clean sheet. Wins against top opponents don't often come as easy as that, as the goalkeeper was helped by an excellent showing from the team around him. Turati has three more manageable games up next to close out the campaign.

Impact Thorstvedt provided a single assist during Sunday's win, as well as creating two chances. It was expected to be a tough match, but instead Thorstvedt was excellent throughout. He ended up as a major contributor in the match for the most part, creating havoc every time he got on the ball.

Armand Lauriente - Goal, assist in win Lauriente scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and three chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus AC Milan.

Impact Lauriente scored and assisted during Sunday's win. It was a stellar showing against a tough opponent, and he could have had even more.

Alieu Fadera - Will miss Torino tilt Fadera won two of two tackles, committed one foul and was booked for the fifth time in six minutes in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Milan.

Impact Fadera didn't play a lot again and won't be an option versus Torino on Friday due to yellow-card accumulation. He usually plays second fiddle to Armand Lauriente. If Darryl Bakola (knee) stays out, Edoardo Iannoni and Luca Moro will absorb those duties.

Impact Berardi opened the scoring almost immediately with a perfect low-driven cross-shot from the edge of the box in his return from a two-game suspension, but exited early in the second half, signaling some discomfort. He'll need to be assessed ahead of Friday's away game versus Torino. Cristian Volpato is generally his deputy.

Jay Idzes - Bows out early in Milan clash Idzes recorded three clearances in 40 minutes before leaving Sunday's contest against Milan because of a potential foot injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Idzes had a fine performance defensively but couldn't make it until the end of the first due to a knock and will undergo exams in the next few days to assess whether he's dealing with something more than that. He was replaced by Woyo Coulibaly, with Sebastian Walukiewicz moving to the middle of the defense, which could be the way to go if he didn't recover in time for Friday's away game versus Torino.
