“It wasn’t a good week for Gomez,” admitted Gasperini at a Press conference.

“He has flexor discomfort, which prevented him from training. We haven’t made any calculations yet.

“Wednesday’s match against Fiorentina is still far away, but Papu isn’t in a position to play right now. I don’t even know if he’ll be on the bench.

“We have to flush out the defeat to Milan and start over in Turin with great concentration.

“We must learn that it’s necessary to be stronger than any incidents during a match, even when they’re negative ones.

“Torino come into the game on the back of an important result in Naples and, with a victory, can catch up with us in the table, so they’ll play all their cards.

“However, we have the opportunity to take out a direct competitor, which is why the game will be very important.

“The Coppa Italia semi-final first leg? Of course we’re looking forward to it but we won’t do anything differentlt because right now, all our matches are important.

“There’s still a long way to go, our position in the table is good and we’re in the midst of an important period. That’s why we’re only thinking about Torino.”
