Fabio Pisacane's Cagliari-Frosinone surprises are in for a treat. One, he announced yesterday in his press conference, is the return of Yael Trepy , who will form a three-man attack alongside Daniel Maldini and Paul Mendy. The other is the debut of Nicola Grandu, the Primavera captain, who has been relegated to left back due to the absences of Adam Obert (suspended) and Giuseppe Aurelio (injured). The Rossoblu, against the league's surprise finish (sixth place for the Giallozzurri), are looking to regain the win they've been without since September 19th and end their streak of four consecutive defeats.
Harry Winks will not return for the Cagliari-Frosinone match at 3:00 PM, having once again suffered a back strain during the final training session . The Englishman, who has already missed the last two matches, joins a long list of unavailable players that also includes Alieu Fadera, Yerry Mina, and M'Bala Nzola, as well as the well-known Mattia Felici and Riyad Idrissi. Alessandro Romano will start as a playmaker, alongside Michel Adopo. The formation is expected to be a 3-4-2-1 with Alessandro Deiola in the back alongside Juan Rodríguez and Raphael Kofler (his first Serie A start).
