Ché Adams

Ché Adams returned from a recent thigh injury and featured in Torino's Serie A match against Udinese, playing roughly an hour. Coaches viewed his return as a boost to the attack, with Torino relying on him as an alternative to Giovanni Simeone.

Adams sustained a low-grade adductor strain in his left thigh, as confirmed by Torino, ruling him out of the match against Roma and the following game against Bologna. The club said the recovery timeline would be set by how the injury progressed.

Torino ruled out selling Adams during the summer transfer window, despite interest from other clubs. The decision followed the club's sale of Alieu Njie to Fiorentina and came amid speculation about Adams's future.

Ché Adams scored a late goal for Torino in a 2-1 defeat to AC Milan, marking his first goal of the 2026-27 Serie A season. He came off the bench and finished with an acrobatic volley in stoppage time.

Adams was named in Scotland's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Coverage also noted that he reached his 50th senior cap for Scotland during the tournament, joining the national team's roll of honour.

Adams was expected to miss about three weeks after Torino announced he had sustained a muscle injury in his right leg. The injury ruled him out of several matches while the club monitored his recovery.
