Cagliari travels to Santander for their final preseason friendly , a week before their Coppa Italia debut . Tomorrow in Spain, the Rossoblu will face Racing in two matches, just hours apart, against the same team: the first, at the El Astillero sports ground, will be played at 11:00 a.m., while the second will be at 7:00 p.m. at the El Sardinero stadium, the club's home stadium in the Spanish Second Division.
Sebastiano Luperto, who underwent personalized training today to overcome the recurrence of the left calf pain that has sidelined him since his training camp in Ponte di Legno , and goalkeeper Velizar-Iliya Iliev, who is suffering from a strained left thigh, are not traveling with Fabio Pisacane's team. It's still too early to see Cagliari's latest signing, Semih Kılıçsoy, who recently arrived and is still training at the Crai Sport Center, as are Gianluca Gaetano ( partially with the group since yesterday ) and Leonardo Pavoletti.
Defender Andrea Cogoni, born in 2006, and goalkeeper Vincenzo Sarno, born in 2008, have joined the rossoblù squad from the Primavera. Michael Folorunsho and Luca Mazzitelli, the other new signings who weren't even on the bench last Saturday at the Gigi Riva Trophy, are likely to make their debuts.
