Turin, Njie stops again: at least two weeks out

TURIN - There's no peace for Alieu Njie . The 2005-born Torino player will be forced to sit out again. The winger was injured in training: the instrumental tests he underwent yesterday revealed a partial strain of the left iliopsoas muscle. Just when the Swede seemed ready to return, as well as be called up for tomorrow's match against Valencia , another injury arrives that will once again affect his recovery. It's not the first of this unfortunate 2025. Njie, in fact, was forced to miss virtually the entire summer training session with the group due to a calf problem. The former Primavera player trained separately while the rest of the team was in Alto Adige: training at the Filadelfia had allowed him, day after day, to gradually resume sessions with his teammates. The winger seemed ready to finally play his chances under Baroni , a coach who hasn't yet had the chance to get to know him like he did with his predecessor. Tuesday's training match, during the joint training session with the Primavera, seemed like the long-awaited signal. Njie finally seemed ready to make his debut, albeit in a friendly, in the prestigious match at the Mestalla. Instead, the new injury will force him to relegate his chances , yet another one in recent months. Yes, because his latest injury is his third of the calendar year.

In February, during the Granata's match against Atalanta, the winger had already been forced to sit out due to a fractured malleolus that required surgery, just when it seemed he might find more playing time. Rehabilitation, a return to Fila, and work aimed at a return at the end of the season, aiming to be available for at least a couple of matches. However, this return didn't happen because the Granata staff preferred not to risk it , considering that the player himself had reported still feeling pain. The rest is recent history: the Swede risks up to a month out, although he will be re-evaluated in the hope that his time away from the pitch can be reduced. Torino awaits him with confidence : the club has shown its belief in the player, recently renewing his contract until 2029 and choosing to focus on him, including him in the winger rotation. Time is on their side: Njie has already begun the countdown .
