Alessio Cragno celebrates 150 appearances in the rossoblù jersey with an excellent performance, which did not help Cagliari to avoid defeat, and with the return to the national team.

There are nine rossoblù players called up, of which Mazzarri will have to do without when training resumes. They will all return next week, a few days after the very delicate away match against Sassuolo.

Walter Mazzarri does not jump for joy, who would like to take advantage of these pauses to give his imprint and identity to a confused, frightened and renounced team. After the break in early October, Cagliari returned to the field with their first victory in the league, but the 3-1 trimmed to Samp followed by 4 defeats that made the Sardinians fall to the last place in the standings.

If nothing else, the break could return the injured Ceppitelli and Dalbert.

The squad are precisely Cragno, the two Under 21 Bellanova and Carboni, the troops of the Uruguayans Godin, Caceres, Nandez and Pereiro (complete with transoceanic travel, the Romanian Marin and the Slovak Under 21 Obert. He will not leave for Senegal Keita, who he still needs rest and therapy after the retrotonsillar abscess that forced him to miss the match against Atalanta.

Cragno will play the near play-off for World Cup qualification against Switzerland on the 12th in Rome, then the away match in Belfast against Northern Ireland on the 15th. Bellanova and Carboni go to Dublin on the 12th, then return to Italy, in Frosinone, where on the 16th the azzurrini face Romania.

The four Uruguayans have already flown to Montevideo: first home match against Argentina, the night between the 12th and 13th, then at high altitude in La Paz against Bolivia on the 16th. Very important challenges, the qualification of Uruguay is in the balance . The players could be in Cagliari on the 18th, in time to do two training sessions before Sassuolo.

Marin is committed on the 11th in Bucharest against Iceland, on the 14th he goes to Liechtenstein. Obert instead is engaged on 12 and 16, against the same age of Russia and Lithuania.
