Exactly seven weeks ago, Saturday 14 December, Zito Luvumbo's last appearance on the pitch. The Angolan striker left the pitch in the 53rd minute of the match against Atalanta, after being fouled by Marten de Roon: an intervention, that of the Bergamo midfielder, which had caused him a sprain-contusion trauma to his left ankle from which he had difficulty recovering. So much so that, even today, he was unable to train with the group.

Luvumbo did individual athletic work this morning: this week he has been dedicated to re-athleticization, a gradual recovery to ensure that he does not push too hard on the injured ankle so as not to have further problems. But his return to the field continues to slip: he will not be there on Monday (8:45 p.m.) against Lazio, in the late match of the twenty-third day of Serie A. A delicate match for Cagliari, in light of today's success of Verona in Monza (0-1) and yesterday evening of Lecce in Parma (1-3). Now it is the yellow and blues who are third from bottom, in the relegation zone, and in eight days they will be guests at the Domus on Sunday 9th at 3 p.m.
