Cagliari loses its defensive leader, Yerry Mina. After leaving the pitch due to injury in the 41st minute of yesterday's match against Fiorentina , the Colombian centre-back underwent routine instrumental tests today: the diagnosis is a first-degree muscle injury to the biceps femoris of the right thigh.
Mina's therapeutic process will begin immediately, with his condition being monitored by Cagliari's medical staff, but it will take a while to see him back on the pitch. He will certainly miss the matches against Verona (Monday at 8:45 pm at the Bentegodi), Udinese (Saturday 3 May at 3 pm at the Domus) and presumably also the away match in Como (the date should be released tomorrow). He could recover for the home match, the last at home and the penultimate of Serie A, against Venezia. A match that could be a decisive salvation clash, with the Venetians recovering and now third from bottom at -5 from the rossoblù.
Mina stopped in the 40th minute of Cagliari-Fiorentina: he felt discomfort in his right thigh and sat down on the ground near the touchline. The medical staff intervened immediately, with José Luis Palomino in his place. Sebastiano Luperto returned yesterday, who is one of the many players on a yellow card: in this regard, Roberto Piccoli will be out in Verona, cautioned under a yellow card and disqualified today by the Sports Judge . Alessandro Deiola will return, having served his suspension.
Without Mina, Cagliari resumed training today at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini. Two work groups: for the players most involved in yesterday's match, a recovery session in the gym. For the others, after technical activation exercises, explosive strength and a series of games. Jakub Jankto, who had missed the last match because he was stopped by a fever at Easter, returned . Tomorrow afternoon session.
