The Dane is out due to a strain on his left thigh: the fear is of losing him for 3 weeks. Training resumes at 11am. Odgaard is holding his breath: tests today

The first thought of Vincenzo Italiano at this time is: how is he Odgaard? And above all: how long does he risk being out? Also because, the rossoblù coach having already asked himself the same question for Ursu e Ferguson, two big shots struggling with muscle problems, and not knowing yet when he will be able to count on both of them, the idea of ​​losing another pillar of the team understandably torments him. The left thigh strain that forced Odgaard to leave the field just before half-time on Tuesday night in Bergamo does not seem to be able to be dismissed as simple fatigue at first glance.

The instrumental tests will be carried out only today, that is, when at least 36 hours have passed since the trauma, but the risk is that the coach will have to lose his Viking all-rounder for at least three weeks. Yesterday at Casteldebole the hope filtered that Odgaard may have limited the damage: but it was the same hope that was harbored for Ferguson and which then proved unfounded.

Meanwhile, today at 11 the team, after the day of 'break' granted by Italiano to the troops, will meet at Casteldebole to begin the short march towards Lecce. Sunday at 18 they return to the field at the Stadio di via del Mare and Italiano will try to make a bit of rotation, even if between injured players (Orsolini, Feerguson and Odgaard) and players who are short of form (El Azzouzi, Aebischer and Cambiaghi) the margins are limited. In attack the usual ballot between Dallinga and Castro, with the Argentine entered in the list of cautioned players.
