The gates of the Crai Sport Center in Assemini reopen this afternoon, where Cagliari resumes training. On the horizon there is a direct clash, with last-placed Monza on Sunday at 12:30 at the Unipol Domus. For Davide Nicola, who closed the week of break for the national teams with a session at Poetto on Saturday morning, the main evaluations concern the injured: to Florinel Coman, Zito Luvumbo and Gabriele Zappa, already out before the Roma match, Adam Obert has been added, who stopped with Slovakia .
For Obert, the first diagnosis, from the national team, spoke of a muscle strain in his left thigh . The defender returned early, he did not play the return match against Slovenia on Sunday (lost 1-0). Today he will be evaluated and we will begin to better understand the real extent of the injury, as well as the recovery times. An additional problem for Cagliari, which already has limited choices in defense.
Coman was instead out in the last home game, eleven days ago against Genoa. He had an inflammation of the Achilles tendon in his left foot. Luvumbo was the first injured in order of time, two weeks ago in Bologna-Cagliari he suffered a low-grade strain to the biceps femoris of the right thigh. Zappa had suffered a discomfort in training on Wednesday 12, which the tests confirmed to be a muscle strain to the adductors of the left thigh. Nicola's goal is to try to recover all three for Monza .
Today also sees the completion of the international commitments (there were six, reduced to five after Obert's return). After yesterday's goals for Matteo Prati with Italy Under-21 and Răzvan Marin with Romania , goalkeeper Velizar-Ilia Iliev will take to the field at 5pm with Bulgaria Under-21 (friendly with Greece) and at 1am tonight Yerry Mina in Colombia-Paraguay . Yesterday Alen Sherri did not play in Albania's 3-0 victory against Andorra, a match valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
