Cesare Casadei - Completes disqualification Casadei cleared a one-game suspension in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Atalanta.

Impact Casadei will return in next Sunday's clash with Roma and compete with Adrien Tameze and Gvidas Gineitis for two spots in the midfield next to Nikola Vlasic. He has hit the net in back-to-back matches and has registered at least one shot in three straight displays, amassing five (four on target) and adding one key pass and two tackles (one won) in that stretch.

Impact Paleari conceded two goals in back-to-back matches, bringing an end to a strong run of four straight away clean sheets in games he started. Over his last six appearances, the goalkeeper has made 15 saves, conceded six goals and kept three clean sheets, though he faces a difficult test next against Roma on Sunday.

Niels Nkounkou - Option from bench Nkounkou (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Nkounkou has recovered from his illness and is with the team as expected, returning to a role on the bench. With only three starts in seven appearances this season, the midfielder will likely stick to more of a rotational role.

Emirhan Ilkhan - Bench option Ilkhan (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Ilkhan was unlikely for Saturday but has made the call from the bench, although he is likely to be limited and not see much time. He had started in their past two games after a lengthy stretch going unused, looking to return to starting minutes moving forward but potentially remaining a bench option.

Gvidas Gineitis - Makes starting XI Gineitis (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Gineitis is fit and with the team after avoiding a serious injury, with the midfielder not only fit but making the starting XI immediately. He has now started in his past five appearances and will look to remain a starter, although he is yet to gain a goal contribution this season.

Niels Nkounkou - Called up for Atalanta fixture Nkounkou (illness) has been included in Torino's squad for Saturday's clash with Atalanta.

Impact Nkounkou should be back after missing two contests because of the flu and will contribute to replacing Marcus Pedersen (knee), tussling with Zakaria Aboukhlal, Cyril Ngonge and Ali Dembele. Nkounkou has started once in his last four displays and has put up seven crosses (three accurate), four tackles (three won) and three clearances.

Emirhan Ilkhan - Selected on Saturday Ilkhan (undisclosed) has been named in Torino's squad list to face Atalanta on Saturday.

Impact Ilkhan has managed to recuperate enough to be an option but is unlikely to get the nod in this one. He has created four scoring chances and logged two shots (one on target), one cross (one accurate) and three interceptions in the last three matches.

Marcus Pedersen - 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.

Gvidas Gineitis - Could be back against Atalanta Gineitis (thigh) has avoided a serious injury and is trending toward being a bench option for Saturday's clash with Atalanta, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Gineitis could make a quick return after sitting out midweek, but is far from 100 percent and is unlikely to start, as he had done four times in a row before the hiccup, posting 14 crosses (six accurate), 10 tackles (six won) and seven chances created.

Emirhan Ilkhan - Questionable for Atalanta clash Ilkhan "picked a small injury in training, and it'd be important to have him even on the bench," coach Marco Baroni announced.

Impact Ilkhan is in doubt for this one after starting twice in a row for the first time in the campaign. He'll be at most an option. Adrien Tameze or Kristjan Asllani will return to the XI due to his subpar condition.

Cyril Ngonge - Creates one chance versus Udinese Ngonge (illness) had one key pass, one shot (one on target) and one tackle (one won) in 24 minutes in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Torino.

Impact Ngonge relieved Zakaria Aboukhlal on the wing while Torino were pushing for the equalizer late in the game. He could see more minutes in this role if Marcus Pedersen (knee) and Niels Nkounkou (illness) don't recover soon. Ngonge has notched one shot in his last three outings (two on target), adding two chances created, five crosses (two accurate) and one corner. He hasn't gotten the nod in seven contests.

Niels Nkounkou - Late scratch for Udinese bout Nkounkou (illness) was unavailable for Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Udinese despite being part of the initial squad list.

Impact Nkounkou seemed on track to return from an illness, but sat out the second match in a row. He should be back available against Atalanta on Saturday, unless he suffered a new physical problem. Zakaria Aboukhlal has taken advantage of his and Marcus Pedersen's (knee) absences in recent fixtures.

Cesare Casadei - Scores goal, picks up fifth yellow Casadei scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Udinese. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute...

Impact Casadei scored one goal and registered three shots, two tackles and two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 loss against Udinese, but he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 91st minute, resulting in a suspension for Saturday's clash against Atalanta. Faustino Anjorin, Adrien Tameze and Kristjan Asllani are the main candidates to fill the midfield role amid Casadei's suspension and Gvidas Gineitis' injury. The Italian is set to return for the clash against Roma on Jan. 18.

Valentino Lazaro - Delivers one assist Lazaro assisted once to go with 11 crosses (four accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 2-1 loss versus Udinese.

Impact Lazaro turned in a solid performance against Udinese on Wednesday, providing his second assist of the season with a pinpoint cross for Cesare Casadei's header. He was very active going forward and could have added more, recording two key passes, a season-high 11 crosses and two interceptions. The Austrian has been heavily involved offensively of late, registering one assist, six chances created and 31 crosses over his last five Serie A appearances.

Alberto Paleari - Concedes two goals in loss Paleari registered two saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Udinese.

Impact Paleari did what he could by making two saves against Udinese on Wednesday but still conceded two goals. The goalkeeper has now started five consecutive matches after taking over the No. 1 role from Franco Israel, recording 11 saves, conceding four goals and securing three clean sheets during that span. He will look to bounce back in a tough away matchup against Atalanta on Saturday.

Gvidas Gineitis - Will sit out Udinese tilt Gineitis is unavailable for Wednesday's game against Udinese due to an adductor injury that will be evaluated in the coming days, Torino announced.

Impact Pedersen has continued to practice in limited fashion after the Verona match and will miss another tilt.

Across those four appearances, he has not logged more than 31 minutes in a single fixture.
