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.

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.

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 Gineitis will likely also skip Saturday's clash with Atalanta unless the issue is really minor. Cesare Casadei scored off the bench last week and is the leading candidate to replace him in the midfield over Adrien Tameze, Faustino Anjorin and Kristjan Asllani.

The assist marked the veteran defender's first goal contribution of the campaign and first Serie A goal contribution since the 2020/21 campaign with Spezia.

Cesare Casadei - Strikes from distance Casadei scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Verona.

Impact Casadei enetred the fray Sunday with just 15 minutes remaining and proceeded to score his first goal of the Serie A campaign with a strike from outside of the box in Torino's 3-0 road victory over Verona. After being named to the Torino starting XI in 12 of their first 13 league fixtures, Casadei has made just four appearances (zero starts) across Torino's last five league matches. Across those four appearances, he has not logged more than 31 minutes in a single fixture.

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.

Impact Paleari repelled each of the three Verona shots on target Sunday as Torino earned a 3-0 road victory. The veteran journeyman is enjoying a rich vein of form that has seen him produce nine saves and five clearances across his last four starting appearances while conceding just twice and recording three clean sheets. Paleari has supplanted Franco Israel as Torino's No. 1 goalkeeper and should be expected to start Wednesday when Torino host Udinese.

Cyril Ngonge - Late scratch against Verona Ngonge was absent in Sunday's 3-0 win against Verona because of the flu, Sky Italy relayed.

Impact Ngonge wasn't involved because he was sick and will try to shake it off in time for Wednesday's contest with Udinese. He's usually the third or fourth option up front. Duvan Zapata and Alieu Njie picked up the slack, and the latter had a strong showing off the bench.
