Fabio Pisacane has made a complete makeover for Cagliari vs. Verona in the Coppa Italia. Tonight at 9:00 PM, there will be seven changes compared to the Inter Milan match, due to the upcoming relegation clash against Lecce at 6:30 PM, also at the Domus. This will begin with Boris Radunović in goal, as announced yesterday in pre-match press releases . In defense, Juan Rodríguez, who arrived just a year ago, will be captain for the first time. He will be joined by Raphael Kofler and, likely with a retrained Joseph Liteta, in a possible three-man defense that could be expanded to a four-man defense by placing one of them at right-back and Giuseppe Aurelio at the opposite end. Harry Winks, Jacopo Fazzini, and Paul Mendy also remain in the starting lineup, unlike Sunday.
Among the sidelined players, in addition to the long-term injured Riyad Idrissi and Yael Trepy, are Yerry Mina (though he's close to regaining full fitness), Kevin Carlos (on leave in Spain for family reasons), and Yukinari Sugawara (waiting for a visa). Gennaro Borrelli is also missing, having officially left the squad yesterday due to an injury, but his transfer to Rizespor in Turkey was finalized today . Primavera striker Alessandro Sugamele has received his first call-up, wearing the number 35 jersey. Roberto Gagliardini and Yanis Massolin also make their debuts. Riccardo Ciervo and Alieu Fadera make their starting debuts, while Mattia Felici also returns to the starting lineup.
Here are the official lineups for Cagliari-Verona: referee Andrea Zanotti of the Rimini section, kick-off at 9:00 PM . If the match is tied after 90 minutes, the match will go straight to penalties, with the winner set to play Roma in the round of 16 in December.
