Sporting Club: Preparation in San Piero a Grado for the Easter Monday match against Cremonese

Yesterday afternoon Caracciolo and his teammates met on the San Piero a Grado pitch to begin preparations for the Easter Monday match against Cremonese. The Nerazzurri group is complete: the victory in Reggio Emilia left no physical after-effects on the players who took to the field. And the good news is that Emanuel Vignato has also definitively put the problems that had been plaguing his ankle behind him: the number 10 will also be a full part of the team's training sessions and who knows, maybe he will be able to convince Inzaghi and earn a call-up that has been missing for a long time. During the run-up to Monday's match, the Nerazzurri coach will closely monitor the condition of the midfield and attack players, taking for granted the return of Canestrelli to the starting lineup and the recomposition of the defensive trio completed by Caracciolo and Bonfanti. From the waist up, the range of choices available is very wide: for example, Morutan, who remained on the bench for the entire match at the "Mapei Stadium", can count on excellent form and is a candidate to threaten Tramoni's place. Who, in turn, returned from injury and remained on the pitch for the entire match. In midfield, the story is very similar: Marin benefited from a period of rest after having literally dragged his teammates along since August, but Solbakken, who replaced him, showed off his educated feet, very quick game thoughts and great tactical intelligence. These are all doubts that cause positive embarrassment: any coach would like to have these problems on the eve of the final rush of the championship. Never before has Sporting Club been able to count on such an enviable depth of squad.

Mehdi Leris will certainly not take part in the season finale: the Algerian is working in the gym to recover from the cruciate ligament reconstruction operation, but his return to the field is still a long way off. The joint still causes him some pain and the club does not intend to rush his return, which remains scheduled for the next summer retreat. In the coming days, in-depth assessments will be made and, if necessary, other tests will be carried out to assess the degree of inflammation and, consequently, set up a therapy for healing.
