| Novellino to cure travel sickness |

Walter Novellino thinks the trip to Atalanta is the right time to cure Torino's travel sickness with their first away win.
The Granata are the only Serie A side this season yet to pick up a single victory outside their home stadium.
“This is a game with many different elements of difficulty, but we have no choice. We have to win,” said the Coach ahead of the Stadio Azzurri d'Italia encounter.
“Unfortunately we are missing a key player like [Eugenio] Corini, but we have recovered others like [Aimo] Diana and [Nicola] Ventola, while his role can be taken by [Paolo] Zanetti and [Blerim] Dzemaili.”
One of Torino's biggest problems this season is their sluggish goal scoring record, netting just 25 goals in 27 games.
“That is an issue we are trying to deal with by generating enthusiasm and determination in the side,” explained Novellino.
“I am optimistic and convinced our strikers will score the decisive goals for our safety. Having said that, time is running out and we have to start winning.”
Torino are joint third-from-bottom with Chievo, ahead of the Flying Donkeys only on goal difference.
