No Cagliari-Monza for Adam Obert. The fear that he could miss next Sunday's match (12:30) was already there last Thursday, when he left at half-time in Slovakia-Slovenia in the Nations League (after coming on in the 11th minute in place of Denis Vavro), now it is confirmed by the instrumental tests carried out today: he reported a low-grade distraction to the sartorius muscle of the left thigh.
A lightning recovery is out of the question , he will have to be re-evaluated starting next week. To see Obert back on the pitch we will have to wait for Empoli-Cagliari on Sunday 6 April or the other away match , at the Meazza against Inter on Saturday 12. One more problem for Davide Nicola, who finds himself struggling with few options in the defensive department.
This afternoon, at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini, training resumed after two days of rest . The other three injured players did individual work: Florinel Coman, Zito Luvumbo and Gabriele Zappa . Their use in Cagliari-Monza will depend on how much, between now and Saturday, they will be able to train with their teammates. Goalkeeper Alen Sherri, who returned from his commitments with Albania where he remained on the bench both against England on Friday and yesterday against Andorra, immediately joined the group. And there was also Matteo Prati, who after his wonder goal with Italy Under-21 yesterday against Denmark, did a cool-down session.
Tomorrow morning training. Tonight, however, the national commitments for the six Cagliari players called up are completed : the latest in order of time is Yerry Mina, at 1 Italian time in Colombia-Paraguay.
