Niels Nkounkou
25-Year-Old
Torino
Serie A
GTD
Injury Illness
Est. Return 1/10/2026
Late scratch for Udinese bout
Nkounkou (illness) was unavailable for Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Udinese despite being part of the initial squad list.
ANALYSIS
Nkounkou seemed on track to return from an illness, but sat out the second match in a row. He should be back available against Atalanta on Saturday, unless he suffered a new physical problem. Zakaria Aboukhlal has taken advantage of his and Marcus Pedersen's (knee) absences in recent fixtures.
