Cagliari, Gaetano increases his training load after surgery: partial return to the group

Gianluca Gaetano completed part of today's training session with the group. This represents a significant step forward, as he looks to fully recover from arthroscopic surgery on May 21st at Villa Stuart to treat a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. The Neapolitan playmaker will now be able to increase his training load, aiming for a return to action between the Coppa Italia (Saturday, August 16th) or the opening match of Serie A (Sunday, August 24th, against Fiorentina at home). Sebastiano Esposito, who helped the Rossoblu once again overtake Parma, could also be available for these two matches .

The only absentee from this morning's training session at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini was Leonardo Pavoletti, who continued with individual work . He also underwent surgery on his left knee at the end of May, this time for a clean-up. The Cagliari team initially completed some warm-up work, accompanied by technical drills. The session concluded with set-piece exercises, for and against.

Another morning session tomorrow. In the afternoon, Cagliari will depart for Santander, where they will play their last two pre-season friendlies against Racing on Saturday . The first will be at 11:00 a.m. (instead of 10:30 a.m.) at the El Astillero sports ground, the second at 7:00 p.m. at the El Sardinero stadium.
