Gigi Buffon does not recover and will miss the second leg of the semifinal between Parma and Cagliari . The goalkeeper, world champion in 2006, was bruised at half-time in the first leg, leaving room for his assistant Chichizola . Maybe just a coincidence, but all three Rossoblù goals had come after the forfeit of the former Juve and PSG.
Coach Pecchia hoped to find Buffon in time for the return leg, but in the end the Parma coach was forced to exclude him from the squad: Chichizola will be in goal again tonight.
Not the only heavy absence for the Emilians: not even Ansaldi can make it, but he also missed the first leg.
Here is the complete squad list:
Goalkeepers: 22 Chichizola, 40 Corvi, 29 Santurro;
Defenders: 4 Balogh, 39 Circati, 25 Cobbaut, 26 Coulibaly, 15 Delprato, 3 Osorio, 47 Zagaritis;
Midfielders: 16 Bernabé, 23 Camara, 8 Estévez, 20 Hainaut, 24 Juric, 19 Sohm;
Forwards: 7 Benedyczak, 13 Bonny, 9 Charpentier, 45 English, 98 Man, 28 Mihaila, 84 Sits, 10 Vazquez, 17 Zanimacchia.
