Alessio Cacciamani - Pretty lively in Bologna contest Cacciamani had three crosses (zero accurate), one interception and three clearances and drew one foul in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bologna.

Impact Cacciamani quickly returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench last week and was solid on both ends, posting a new season high in clearances. He has sent in three or more crosses in five straight matches, accumulating 18 (three accurate), assisting once and notching two key passes, four tackles (three won) and seven clearances over that span.

Ardian Ismajli - Gets the call against Bologna Ismajli recorded two tackles (one won), seven clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Ismajli returned to the XI after a month, as he had last started in the opener when Saul Coco was suspended and played over Pietro Comuzzo. He was busy and on point in the back, setting a new season high in clearances. He has recorded at least five in all his four displays, amassing 24 and also registering six interceptions and two blocks, with no clean sheets, in that stretch.

Kian Fitz-Jim - Sound display in Bologna bout Fitz-Jim generated four crosses (one accurate), one block and two corners and created two scoring chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Fitz-Jim was a pretty good presence on offense, while he had trouble keeping up with the opponents on the other end. He set a new season high in deliveries. He has noted at least one key pass, amassing eight, and one cross, totaling nine (one accurate), in his four displays, adding six corners, two shots (zero on target) and three tackles (two won).

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Giovanni Simeone - Fairly active versus Bologna Simeone recorded three shots (zero on goal), two tackles (one won) and one clearance and drew three fouls in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Simeone moved around well and led his side in attempts, but didn't come close to scoring in any of his efforts. He has recorded 10 shots (one on target) through four rounds, also registering one chance created and three tackles (two won) over that span. He could face competition from Sandro Kulenovic and Che Adams (thigh) if he doesn't get going.

Rolando Mandragora - Dishes out assist in Bologna match Mandragora assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bologna.

Impact Mandragora fed Sandro Kulenovic before the teammate sprinted toward the opposing box and hit the net with a long-range effort. He led his team in crosses, matching his season high. He has tallied at least one shot in four straight games, totaling eight (six on target) and adding 10 crosses (three accurate) and eight corners over that span, with one goal.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sandro Kulenovic - Scores off the bench against Bologna Kulenovic scored one goal to go with three shots (two on target) and one tackle (zero won) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bologna.

Impact Kulenovic recovered the ball near midfield and charged forward uncontested, finding the target from distance thanks to a poor rejection by Lukasz Skorupski. It's his first Serie A goal since moving to Torino. He had made just two uneventful cameos before this tilt. The good showing could help him gain ground on Giovanni Simeone and Che Adams (thigh).

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Perri - Allows one goal in Bologna game Perri had no saves and gave up one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bologna.

Impact Perri conceded on the only shot on goal by the opponents, a point-blank one by Federico Bernardeschi, and didn't make any saves for the first time in his three starts. He has pulled off seven and surrendered four goals so far. Up next, Torino will face Udinese at home on October 12.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Cesare Casadei - Ruled out for Bologna match Casadei (thigh) hasn't been selected for Saturday's match versus Bologna.

Impact Casadei had a shot to be back in this one, but the staff ultimately decided to give him the break to make a full recovery, and he'll skip the fourth contest on the trot. Daniel Braganca, Gvidas Gineitis and Emirhan Ilkhan will continue to benefit from his absence.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Cesare Casadei - Traveling with squad Saturday Casadei (thigh) is traveling with the squad for Saturday's clash against Bologna, returning to the matchday roster after his injury, though he will start on the bench and only be f...

Impact Casadei had been expected to miss a couple more weeks after his muscular problem proved more severe than simple fatigue, an absence that already cost him the last three games. His return to the squad now marks a positive step forward, even if his full reintegration into the starting lineup will need to wait until after the upcoming international break.

Bologna fires coach Domenico Tedesco after just 4 matches, hires Raffaele Palladino on deal to 2029

Bologna has fired coach Domenico Tedesco after just four Serie A matches and replaced him with Raffaele Palladino

SEPTEMBER 16 • Associated Press

Che Adams - Will skip Bologna tilt Adams is nursing a low-grade left adductor stain, Torino announced.

Impact Adams won't return against Bologna on Saturday, missing his second game in a row, but should be able to recuperate during the break. Giovanni Simeone, Sandro Kulenovic and Duvan Zapata will be the options for the no.9 role in relief.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Rolando Mandragora - Passable display versus Roma Mandragora had two shots (two on goal) and two tackles (two won) and drew three fouls in Monday's 2-0 defeat against Roma.

Impact Mandragora didn't have his best outing but picked up a small amount of stats on both ends and threatened to score with a pair of efforts from distance. He has notched at least one shot, totaling six (five on target), and one tackle, piling up five (two won) in three consecutive rounds, adding one key pass, five crosses (zero accurate) and two clearances over that stretch.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Niccolo Fortini - Gritty outing in Roma fixture Fortini had four tackles (two won) and three clearances and drew one foul in Monday's 2-0 loss to Roma.

Impact Fortini moved from the right to the left wing, playing over Alessio Cacciamani, starring opposite Rafik Belghali, and mostly focused on defending, registering new season highs in tackles and clearances. All wing-backs will likely get minutes. He has posted six tackles (four won), four clearances and one chance created, while he interrupted a three-game string with multiple crosses.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Alessio Cacciamani - Sends in three crosses versus Roma Cacciamani had three crosses (zero accurate) and 12 passes and drew three fouls in 45 minutes in Monday's 2-0 loss against Roma.

Impact Cacciamani was brought off the bench for the first time this season but still paced his team in deliveries thanks to his energy on the wing, although he couldn't connect with a teammate in any of them. He has sent in at least three crosses in every appearance, amassing 15 (three accurate), assisting once and recording two key passes over that span. Instead, he ended a three-game streak with at least one tackle and one clearance in this one.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Nikola Vlasic - Muted again in Roma contest Vlasic registered one shot (zero on goal), one clearance and one chance created and drew one foul in Monday's 2-0 loss against Roma.

Impact Vlasic continues to struggle to produce despite playing in a very offensive-minded role in the last two matches and has yet to contribute to a goal. He has taken at least one shot in the last three bouts, piling up five (two on target) and adding two chances created and one cross (zero accurate) over that span.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Giovanni Simeone - Takes four shots in Roma clash Simeone (back) recorded four shots (one on goal), one interception and one clearance and drew three fouls in Monday's 2-0 defeat versus Roma.

Impact Simeone was in doubt up until kick-off but looked fine for the most part and had his most productive display yet, posting a new season high in attempts, albeit his aim wasn't great. He won't face much competition until Che Adams (thigh) is out. He's still searching for his first goal and has notched seven attempts (one on target), one key pass and one cross (one accurate) through four contests.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Perri - Concedes twice against Roma Perri recorded three saves and one clearance and gave up two goals in Monday's 2-0 defeat versus Roma.

Impact Perri didn't have blunders this time, but wasn't superb either and was beaten by Donyell Malen and Niccolo Pisilli from close range. He has made seven saves and conceded three goals in his first two starts. Up next, Torino will face Bologna away Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 14 • Associated Press

Giovanni Simeone - Cleared to start Simeone (back) is in the starting XI for Monday's Serie A clash against Roma after dealing with back spasms.

Impact Simeone has recovered sufficiently to start after his availability was set to be assessed Monday. With Che Adams sidelined by a thigh injury, Simeone will lead the Torino attack ahead of Sandro Kulenovic and Duvan Zapata. He has recorded three shots and one accurate cross across three Serie A appearances, including two starts, this season.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Giovanni Simeone - Iffy for Roma contest Simeone "needs to be assessed Monday because of back spasms," coach Ignazio Abate stated.

Impact Simeone would most likely start if able to bite the bullet, as Che Adams (thigh) will miss this one. Sandro Kulenovic and Duvan Zapata would get the nod if he didn't. He has notched three shots 8zero on target) and one cross (one accurate) in his three appearances (two starts).

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Che Adams - Ruled out for Roma clash Adams will miss Monday's fixture versus Roma because of an adductor issue, coach Ignazio Abate announced.

Impact Adams got hurt in training late in the week and will undergo exams shortly. Giovanni Simeone isn't 100 percent because of a back problem, so either Sandro Kulenovic or Duvan Zapata could earn a spot start in this one.
