Antoine Makoumbou was among the eight Cagliari players called up for this second international break of the season, but he returns early to Sardinia. The midfielder was not even on the bench yesterday in the heavy 5-0 defeat of Congo in South Africa, in the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations: the reason is a discomfort in his right knee, an injury that will now be assessed by the rossoblù medical staff . At the moment, however, it is not particularly worrying: he should have done some personalized work with Congo to resolve it, but Cagliari preferred to have him return to the island.

At the Crai Sport Center in Assemini today is the third training session of the week without matches, with the goal of Sunday 20 (6 pm) for the home match against Torino, valid for the eighth day of Serie A. Always apart from the four unavailable players: Gianluca Lapadula, Jakub Jankto, Leonardo Pavoletti and Mateusz Wieteska . In the morning session the initial phase was dedicated to technique, then space for a series of matches played in small spaces and on the entire pitch.

Tomorrow Cagliari will be back on the field in the morning. Tonight at 20:45, on the third day of the Nations League, midfielder Răzvan Marin will play with Romania away to Cyprus .
