Suzuki’s nightmare return after 126 days: just three minutes into the Torino v Parma match and he conceded a goal through his legs to Simeone
The incident happened on the very day he returned to the pitch
It was certainly not the comeback Zion Suzuki had hoped for. The Parma goalkeeper, who had not played since 8 November (Parma 2–2 Milan) due to a hand injury, returned to the starting line-up in place of second-choice goalkeeper Edoardo Corvi for the opening match of the 29th league fixture away at Torino, 126 days later.
Barely three minutes into the first half, and from the very first shot they faced, Suzuki had to pick the ball out of the back of the net: Vlasic drove forward, the ball fell to Simeone, who controlled it on his right foot and fired a shot from a tight angle inside the box, almost as he slid. The ball was heading straight at the goalkeeper, but in his attempt to save it, he let it slip through his legs.

Serie A | Torino vs Parma – Official Starting Lineups
Torino host Parma at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino this evening, as both sides look for valuable point in their race to guarantee Serie A survival.
Torino head into the game with one win and one defeat so far under Roberto D’Aversa, with an impressive 2-0 win over Lazio followed last weekend by a 2-1 defeat to champions Napoli.
The Turin side sit in 15th place, six points above 18th placed Cremonese, who have been in diabolical form as of late and slipped into the relegation zone following Fiorentina’s upturn in form.
Parma, meanwhile, are in a really good spot of form under Carlos Cuesta, who has earned plaudits for recent results that sees the Gialloblu five games unbeaten – including impressive wins against division heavyweights Milan and Bologna.
