Zito Luvumbo is also present at the open-door training session at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini. The striker, who suffered an injury in early September against Angola (a low-grade strain to the right thigh adductors), is partially back with the group. This increases his chances of seeing him at least in the squad for Cagliari-Inter on Saturday, the Serie A matchday five kick-off (8:45 p.m., refereeing Marco Piccinini of the Forlì team ).
The crowd responded well to the open session: approximately 300 people attended the stand on Pitch 1, with gates opening at 3:00 PM and training starting at 4:15 PM. Gabriele Zappa is still absent, having been rested for the second day in a row by Fabio Pisacane and his staff after a muscle strain (a strained rectus femoris in his left thigh) that forced him to be substituted in the 45th minute of Tuesday's Coppa Italia match against Frosinone. The fact that he hasn't yet trained means he's no longer eligible for Cagliari-Inter.
Nicola Pintus and Boris Radunović, Cagliari's other two injured players, continued their personalized training . Tomorrow, in addition to the final training sessions, Pisacane will present the match at a press conference at 4:00 PM in the press room at the Unipol Domus.
