Artem Dovbik May Miss Match Against Torino
Ukrainian Striker Suffers Knock in Training
Artem Dovbik, the Ukrainian striker for Salernitana, could miss the upcoming match against Torino due to a knock he suffered in training. The injury is not believed to be serious, but it is still unclear whether he will be fit enough to play on Sunday.
Dovbik has been in good form for Salernitana this season, scoring five goals in 14 appearances. He has also been capped nine times by Ukraine, scoring two goals. His absence would be a blow to Salernitana, who are currently 12th in Serie A.
Salernitana Hopeful for Dovbik's Return
Salernitana manager Davide Nicola is hopeful that Dovbik will be fit to play against Torino. He said: “Artem is a very important player for us. We hope he will be fit to play on Sunday, but we will have to wait and see.”
If Dovbik is unable to play, Nicola has several other options in attack. Boulaye Dia, Krzysztof Piatek, and Erik Botheim are all capable of playing as a central striker.
Torino in Good Form
Torino are in good form at the moment, having won their last three matches. They are currently seventh in Serie A, just one point behind Atalanta in sixth.
Torino's main threat is striker Antonio Sanabria, who has scored six goals in 14 appearances this season. The Paraguayan is a physical presence and is always a danger in the air.
Match Preview
The match between Salernitana and Torino is set to take place on Sunday 29th January at the Stadio Arechi in Salerno.
The match is likely to be a close contest, with both teams in good form. Salernitana will be hoping to have Dovbik fit to play, but even if he is not, they have other options in attack.
Torino will be looking to continue their good run of form and move into the top six. They will be confident of getting a result at the Stadio Arechi, but Salernitana will be determined to make it difficult for them.
