Torino in early injury crisis
Torino today announced that four of their players have been injuried after the Coppa Italia tie againist Catania which they won 1:0.
 Fan-favourite Rosina won't be able to play the Atalanta match.
They actually had to play striker as a goalkeeper due to the substitutions running out and goalkeeper Andre Zuba getting carried off with a hip injury againist the Sicialian side.
Goalkeeper Zuba got the toughest hit and the Brazilian youngster has to sit out for three months maximum.
Other players who've gotten injuried have to spend out a little less time and will be back for Serie A opener against Empoli.
Alessandro Rosina though may be a doubt after being announced injuried for around two weeks. Defender Ivan Franceschini and Italian international Stefano Fiore will spend around one and half week on the sidelines.
Though there is a Atalanta in few days time for Il Granata which they plan to continue a fine cup run.
"It's a tough hit for us, but we've got some nice cover for most of the players so I don't see too much problems," told Torino manager Tanel Tursk, "The only problem may occure with Rosina's position, but I think I can put Konan play there."
"In long run I'm a little sad about Zuba's injury though as he was really proving a point at the moment, but Lupatelli and Taibi are both fantastic goalkeepers too," he finished. |
