Sirigu set for long Toro stay

By Football Italia staff

Goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu is set for a long stay at Torino, according to President Urbano Cairo.

Sirigu replaced Joe Hart as Torino’s No 1 on a two-year contract last summer and has gone on to keep 10 clean sheets in 35 Serie A appearances, although the former Italy custodian could do little about the Granata’s last two defeats to Atalanta and Lazio.

“We’re not at our best physically: we’ve had several injuries and I think that’s been the problem,” Cairo said after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to the latter.

“The difference was a physical one against Lazio and Atalanta. Those two teams played with cohesion because they’ve been playing together for two years.

“Physically they were very good and they were also very motivated. Sirigu? He still has a year left on his contract. After that, we’ll give him a new one.”
