18 days out for Andrea Luongo after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Torino will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market24 May 2027

Flynn Macnack has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Torino they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad24 May 2027

A falling-out at Torino

Roberto Alvarado and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad24 May 2027

A row about effort at Torino

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rolando Mandragora was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad24 May 2027

Torino lose Leonardo Santer

18 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout24 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Saúl Coco

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch24 May 2027

Rafael Melo has seen enough of Gandzasar

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Torino, and 8 appearances in 40 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout24 May 2027

Daniel Bragança knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Torino, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The Rolando Mandragora question follows Torino around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Rolando Mandragora’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad17 May 2027

Andrea Luongo breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad17 May 2027

Tempers go at Torino

Rolando Mandragora was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad17 May 2027

Erick Sánchez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout17 May 2027

No hiding place for Daniel Bragança

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Daniel Bragança, and the manager let it.

Market17 May 2027

Adrien Tamèze is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Torino has been clear about where Adrien Tamèze stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout17 May 2027

Sandro Kulenović gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Sandro Kulenović is on it.

Market17 May 2027

The Nikola Vlašić question follows Torino around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Nikola Vlašić’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout17 May 2027

Cesare Casadei knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Cesare Casadei trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout17 May 2027

The manager makes Lucas Perri a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Torino. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
