Cagliari celebrates the victory against Sassuolo and, since this morning, has had Napoli in its sights, which it will visit on Saturday evening at the San Paolo. But against the former Mazzarri, Ranieri will almost certainly have to give up his newfound striker, Lapadula. The Italian-Peruvian, in fact, came out of the match against the black-greens battered. A blow to the nose and the need for a new operation, after the one carried out this summer.
"I fractured my nasal septum against Juventus," explained Cagliari's number 9 after the match on Monday. And this morning the player underwent surgery to reduce the fracture of his nasal bones. Operation performed by Dr. Luca Maria Moricca at Santissima Trinità. Lapadula has already returned home and will have to observe a few days of rest. With the real risk, therefore, of having to miss Saturday evening's match against Napoli.
