Niccolò Fortini
TOR
Sends in three crosses versus Fiorentina
Fortini had one shot (zero on goal), one block and three crosses (one accurate) and drew one foul in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Fiorentina.
Analysis: Fortini did his part on both ends during his time on the pitch before being replaced by Rafik Belghali, who provided an assist off the bench. Torino will likely keep using all four of their wingbacks, but he might no longer start regularly once the two newcomers, the other being Nathan Patterson, have settled in. He has logged multiple crosses in all three rounds, racking up eight (two accurate) and posting two tackles (two won), one key pass and one corner.
Moves to Torino
Fortini extended his contract with Fiorentina until 2030 and joined Torino on loan with an option to buy.
Analysis: Fortini featured 16 times (two starts) in Serie A last season, totaling four key passes, 29 crosses (five accurate) and 22 tackles, missing significant time due to injury. He'll be in contention to play on both flanks, competing with Marcus Pedersen and Alessio Cacciamani.
Unused sub versus Genoa
Fortini (back) wasn't fielded in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Genoa.
Analysis: Fortino was an option after being sidelined for a couple of months because of a fairly severe back injury but wasn't deployed right away. He'll remain a fringe option in a few role in the last two matches. He has appeared 16 times (two starts) so far, notching 22 tackles, 29 crosses (five accurate) and eight shots (two on target).
Selected for Genoa contest
Fortini (back) has been included in Fiorentina's squad list to face Genoa on Sunday.
Analysis: Fortini will be available for the first time since early March after dealing with a lingering back injury. He'll resume providing depth in multiple positions on the wings. He has come off the bench in his last ten appearances, notching five shots (one on target), two chances created and seven tackles (two won).
