Buongiorno’s presence for the match against Monza is in doubt: in his place, in the meantime, Lovato warms up
After the national break which interrupted the championship for a week, Serie A is back on the pitch. It’s the eve of Turin-Monza, a real direct clash for Europe, and Ivan Juric spoke at a press conference. The coach gave several ideas in view of the match against the Brianza, including one that cannot please the Granata fans: Good morningin fact, seems to have returned from the national team with a shoulder problem and his conditions are to be evaluated by tomorrow morning. The defensive emergency therefore begins again, with Lovato which meanwhile warms up in its place.
Lovato ready to return
At this point, with the absence of 3 out of 6 defenders, Juric can only count on Matteo Lovato again. The former Salernitana defender had stopped for the matches against Fiorentina and Napoli due to a calf problem, but then returned against Udinese for a total of 25 minutes. The number 6 was able to make full use of the break to regain match rhythm, and if he were to start in Buongiorno’s place he would certainly not be caught unprepared.
Good morning, damn shoulder
Meanwhile, while waiting for the checks that will clarify Buongiorno’s situation, the defender’s shoulder continues to deteriorate worry. The problem announced by Juric is in fact connected to the same shoulder that the Granata vice-captain has dislocated at the end of January, and which gave him problems for an entire month. The hope is that obviously it is not the same injury but just an annoyance that can pass very quickly and without the need for rest. In tomorrow’s decisive match, Toro needs its leader on the pitch.
