No Cagliari-Empoli for Matteo Prati. The midfielder, already unavailable last Sunday against Napoli, has not yet recovered from the very hard blow to the right suffered three weeks ago in Lecce , on the occasion of the foul that led to Dorgu's expulsion.
Number 16 is the only player absent from Davide Nicola's list of twenty-five players called up for the early match that, tomorrow at 18:30, opens the fifth day of Serie A. A very delicate match for the standings , given that the rossoblù are still without a win (two draws and two defeats) while the Tuscans - direct competitors for salvation - are undefeated with one win (over Roma) and three draws (including last Saturday's with Juventus).
This afternoon, in a press conference , Nicola reiterated the need to improve but also to not be anxious about the victory not yet achieved.
This is the complete list of players called up.
Goalkeepers: Giuseppe Ciocci, Simone Scuffet, Alen Sherri;
Defenders: Tommaso Augello, Paulo Azzi, Sebastiano Luperto, Yerry Mina, Adam Obert, José Luis Palomino, Mateusz Wieteska, Gabriele Zappa, Nadir Zortea;
Midfielders: Michel Adopo, Alessandro Deiola, Mattia Felici, Gianluca Gaetano, Jakub Jankto, Antoine Makoumbou, Razvan Marin, Nicolas Viola;
Forwards: Gianluca Lapadula, Zito Luvumbo, Kingstone Mutandwa, Leonardo Pavoletti, Roberto Piccoli.
