At Cagliari we are working on Sunday's match against Bologna and trying to deal with the emergency in the offensive sector. And there is never any shortage of problems for Ranieri. In today's session, in personalized Mancosu, who continues to suffer from the usual discomfort in the knee operated on this summer. His presence with Bologna is in doubt.

No doubt, however, about the many absences in attack. Oristanio (compound fracture of the fifth metatarsal of the right foot) will be out for a couple of months, Shomurodov (also a broken foot) will return in mid-February, Lapadula (two broken ribs) hopes to be available again for the away match in Frosinone and, finally, Luvumbo is busy with Angola preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations which starts this Saturday. Thus only Petagna, Pavoletti and Pereiro remain available, whose transfer to Ternana seems frozen.

The only bit of good news is Desogus' partial return to the group.
