Torino midfield crisis: Anjorin doubtful vs Napoli, hope for Ismajli | OneFootball

Marco Baroni’s Torino continue their preparations for the clash against Napoli, scheduled for Saturday, October 18 at 6:00 PM at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. It’s a delicate match for the Granata, who are called upon to build on the good results achieved in recent weeks, but it risks being complicated by absences in the infirmary.

Torino-Napoli, the latest on the Granata: Ismajli nearing recovery

In addition to the long-term absentees Schuurs and Savva, the coach must also deal with two other situations to monitor. As reported by ToroNews.net, Tino Anjorin is struggling with plantar fasciitis that has been limiting him for several days. The English midfielder, who arrived in the summer to add quality and physicality to the midfield, remains at high risk for the match against the Azzurri: the medical staff are trying to get him back, but his presence from the first minute currently appears unlikely.

Slightly more encouraging news comes from Ardian Ismajli. The Albanian defender came off banged up from the match against Parma on September 29, and tests revealed a partial strain of the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh. In recent hours, however, his condition seems to be improving, and Baroni himself hopes to at least be able to call him up for the game against Antonio Conte’s Napoli. If Ismajli doesn’t make it, the main candidate to replace him is Adam Masina, who has been training regularly with the starting defense in the latest sessions.
