Cagliari will not have two big names like Roberto Piccoli and Yerry Mina available for tomorrow night's relegation battle in Verona . These absences are certainly not unexpected, both a legacy of the match lost on Wednesday against Fiorentina: the striker, who had given hope with the goal for the temporary 1-0, received his fifth yellow card in this Serie A and has been suspended, while the defender has suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out (at least) against Udinese and Como. But Davide Nicola, as highlighted in the pre-match press conference in the early afternoon , is convinced that whoever replaces them will be able to make them not be missed: in pole position is captain Leonardo Pavoletti.
The list of players called up includes the defender born in 2005 from the Primavera Nicola Pintus, with the number 36 jersey. For him, it is the second call up to the first team, he had already been on the bench in the match won 3-0 against Monza on March 30th. A match that, to date, is the last success of the rossoblù. Alessandro Deiola is back, after having served his suspension against Fiorentina for the yellow card he received fifteen days ago at the Meazza against Inter . Verona-Cagliari will complete the penultimate matchday of Serie A.
These are Nicola's players called up for Verona-Cagliari: kick-off tomorrow at 20.45, referee Rosario Abisso from the Palermo section .
