Torino dealt a blow for Baroni: the former Lazio boss loses two key players | OneFootball

Torino has to deal with a double blow coming from the infirmary just when Marco Baroni was hoping to solidify his team's growth path. The latest news on the health front is not at all encouraging: Giovanni Simeone and Ivan Ilic will be sidelined due to physical issues that risk affecting the team's journey in the coming weeks.

Torino, Baroni in trouble: Simeone and Ilic sidelined

The first alarm concerns Simeone, whose season in the Torino jersey had started with great enthusiasm. However, instrumental tests have revealed a myofascial strain injury to the left rectus femoris, an injury that will force the forward to at least two weeks of rest. The Cholito will miss the upcoming league matches against Como and Lecce, with the medical staff set to conduct a new evaluation at the beginning of December to better understand the recovery timeline. A heavy blow for Baroni, who sees his offensive options reduced precisely in the weeks when Torino is called to maintain consistent results.

Things are not better for Ivan Ilic, who returned from the national team with a sprained left knee. The Serbian midfielder suffered an unnatural rotation of the joint during the match against England, an incident that immediately raised fears of the worst. The initial diagnosis calls for caution but does not dismiss concerns: further examinations will indeed be necessary to assess the extent of the damage and establish a clearer picture of the recovery timeline.
