Both Yerry Mina and Zito Luvumbo are unavailable for tomorrow's Milan-Cagliari. While Davide Nicola had given the preview for the Angolan in the early afternoon press conference , the Colombian defender has received news from the list of players called up, where his name is not on the list after a week in which he has – once again – had to deal with some physical problems with his left calf (which he has been living with for some time) and his right ankle (a legacy of a clash with Dany Mota on Sunday in Monza). Tomorrow the decision on his replacement will be made, with José Luis Palomino and Mateusz Wieteska in the running.
There is also no Kingstone Mutandwa, first time for the goalkeeper Elia Caprile (shirt number 25) who tomorrow at 20.45 will immediately make his debut as a starter after the operation with Napoli that brought Simone Scuffet to the Azzurri. For Luvumbo, out of the match against Atalanta on December 14, the objective for his return to the field now becomes the salvation clash with Lecce on Sunday 19.
These are the twenty-two players called up for Milan-Cagliari , the first match of the second half of the Serie A season:
Goalkeepers: Elia Caprile, Velizar Iliya-Iliev, Alen Sherri;
Defenders: Tommaso Augello, Paulo Azzi, Sebastiano Luperto, Adam Obert, José Luis Palomino, Mateusz Wieteska, Gabriele Zappa, Nadir Zortea;
Midfielders: Michel Adopo, Alessandro Deiola, Mattia Felici, Gianluca Gaetano, Antoine Makoumbou, Razvan Marin, Matteo Prati, Nicolas Viola;
Forwards: Gianluca Lapadula, Leonardo Pavoletti, Roberto Piccoli.
