Karol Linetty will return from suspension for Turin-Bologna: Ivan Juric is counting on him for the midfield together with Ricci
For a midfielder who goes, there is one who comes. Against Frosinone, Ricci was suspended and returned against Inter. Against Inter, Karol Linetty he was disqualified and will return against Bologna. Match against the Emilians which will be missed by Tameze, sent off against Inter. In view of Bologna therefore, the midfielders available will be Ricci, Ilic and Linetty. Gineitis is still in the pits. Juric is counting on the experience and solidity of the Polish 77. In and out of Poland, Linetty still hopes for Euro 2024. There are still 4 games left in Serie A.
The performances of the midfield
Juric needs Linetty. Ricci is undoubtedly the fittest midfielder of the Granata. Against Inter he played more advanced, but he is ready to return to his position. Alongside him, Ilic and Linetty compete. Ilic, who started against Frosinone and Inter, did not do well. He still seems tired after the injury and the season has been negative for him. Linetty, alongside Ricci, offers greater guarantees in a delicate match at the moment. Too bad for Gineitis, who before the injury was in great shape and looked amazing. While as far as Tameze is concerned, his return as a midfielder was one to forget.
His season
Linetty has played 24 games in Serie A this year: 0 goals and 0 assists, but 10 yellow cards. Negative numbers, but he is the only one who does the dirty work in the middle of the pitch. He often sacrifices himself and acts as a shield before the defense. Cards, however, are a factor and there are many. On January 3, 2024, he extended until 2025. More was expected from him when he arrived from Sampdoria for 7.5 million euros in 2020. But he has always behaved like a great professional, carving out his space. Furthermore, he feels very comfortable here.
