Torino will have to manage the next stage of their Serie A campaign without immediate certainty over Ricardo Rodriguez after the Swiss defender suffered a low-grade tendon injury in his left thigh.
Key takeaways
- Medical examinations identified a minor tendon problem affecting the flexor muscles of Rodriguez’s left thigh.
- The length of his absence will depend on how the injury develops in the coming days.
- Rodriguez has made two appearances since returning to Torino.
- His outings this season came against Roma and Udinese.
Torino await clarity on Rodriguez
Torino confirmed that the defender underwent instrumental tests after suffering the issue. The examinations showed a low-grade tendon lesion involving the flexor muscles in his left thigh.
The club did not set a definitive timetable for his return, explaining that the prognosis will be established through the player’s clinical progress. It leaves Torino’s staff to monitor his recovery before deciding when he can resume full work and become available again.
A familiar figure returns to Turin
Rodriguez is back with Torino following two seasons at Real Betis. The former Milan player has so far featured twice during his new spell in Granata colours, appearing in the matches against Roma and Udinese.
His setback adds another fitness question to Torino’s early-season planning, with the club now waiting to see whether the left-sided defender can return quickly or faces a longer interruption.
