Five players are out for Cagliari, three days before the trip to Udine. The main situation remains with Gianluca Gaetano: the Neapolitan playmaker has been undergoing personalized training since yesterday due to a muscle strain in his left thigh flexors. He's trying to recover for the Udinese match (Sunday at 12:30 p.m., refereeing Alberto Ruben Arena of the Torre del Greco division ). Even if he makes the squad—an option far from guaranteed—it's unlikely he'll start or get significant playing time.
Gaetano also customized training for Nicola Pintus, Boris Radunović, Juan Rodríguez, and Gabriele Zappa . Of these, the only one who could recover is the Uruguayan. In today's training session, the Cagliari team began with technical warm-up exercises. This was followed by a series of positional exercises and a match played on a reduced-size pitch.
A morning session is scheduled for tomorrow at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini. At 3:00 PM, in the press room at the Unipol Domus, Fabio Pisacane will hold a press conference . He will speak—as he has done on other occasions—two days before Udinese-Cagliari, rather than the day before.
