Alexander Good morning, Ivan Juric half-smiles

Torino, the conditions of Alessandro Buongiorno

Torino è won 1-2 over Cagliari in the 22nd day of the championship. However, the last few days in the granata house have been marked by much apprehension over the condition of Alessandro Buongiorno, who è injured his shoulder in the final minutes of the match at the Unipol Domus. The first sensations were definitely pessimistic, as in case of dislocation the blue central would have had to undergo surgery, risking to close the season prematurely. Instead, instrumental examinations gave bittersweet news to coach Ivan Juric.

"Torino Football Club announces that the player Alessandro Buongiorno, today, in the presence of the Granata medical staff, è underwent in Rome a consultation with Professor Giovanni Di Giacomo, who specializes in shoulder surgery. In light of the instrumental picture and clinical examination, è was given an indication to continue the conservative therapy that the defender will carryà forward in the coming weeks. The picture will be re-evaluated at the end of rehabilitation, before resuming on the field with the team" this is the note issued by Urbano Cairo’s club.

Since the player will not have to resort to surgery, the recovery time would be significantly shorter and would be estimated at around 30-40 days. The granata captain, therefore in all probability, will miss the challenges against Salernitana, Sassuolo and Lecce, with the hope of being able to return to Ivan Juric’s disposal for the match against Roma, scheduled for February 26, 2024.
