After two consecutive away games, which brought four points out of six against Monza and Milan, Cagliari is ready to return to play at home. At the Unipol Domus on Sunday at 3pm, a crucial salvation clash with Lecce, led by former team manager Marco Giampaolo, who until Saturday was level on points but then made a leap forward thanks to the 1-3 victory at Empoli. Which left the rossoblù alone in third-last place, in the relegation zone, despite the excellent 1-1 at the Meazza .
Today is the second day of rest for Davide Nicola's team. Tomorrow afternoon training will resume at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini, where Yerry Mina and Zito Luvumbo, two of the players unavailable at San Siro, will have to be evaluated (with them, among others, also Jakub Jankto who however remained out for technical reasons and vented on social media on Friday).
Luvumbo has not played since December 14, when he suffered a foul from de Roon against Atalanta and sprained his left ankle . He has remained out since then. Mina, on the other hand, after being substituted for a problem with his left calf against Venezia and Inter, left the field in Monza with a problem with his right ankle , the result of a clash with Dany Mota. This is why he withdrew from Milan-Cagliari. For both, Nicola and his staff aim to have them back on Sunday, and José Luis Palomino, who was substituted early at San Siro, should also be evaluated.
