Cagliari, Mina likely out: latest before Maradona clash | OneFootball

Cagliari is intensifying its preparations ahead of the imminent Coppa Italia fixture, which will see the Sardinian side visit Napoli at the “Maradona” for the round of 16 on Wednesday, December 3. The knockout match demands maximum concentration and flawless strategy, and Fabio Pisacane’s team worked tirelessly this afternoon at the CRAI Sport Center in Assemini.

Towards Napoli-Cagliari: the Rossoblù at work amid intensity, lineup doubts, and the dream of the quarterfinals

The training session was characterized by a mix of exercises aimed at refining both athletic condition and technical understanding. The group, under the careful guidance of the staff, began with specific technical activation drills, essential for stimulating quick thinking and execution. Afterwards, the focus shifted to the core of Pisacane’s game: the players carried out targeted ball possession exercises, a crucial aspect to avoid succumbing to the initiative of the Italian Champions, finishing with a small-sided game in tight spaces—ideal for simulating the intensity and reaction speed required in a high-tension match.

However, there is some bad news from the medical room. Midfielder Luca Mazzitelli continued with a personalized training program, leaving a question mark over his availability for the match. More concerning is the situation of central defender Yerry Mina, for whom rest and therapy sessions have been scheduled, a sign of a problem that could rule him out of the squad for the trip to Campania. The final stage of preparation on Sardinian soil will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2, with another afternoon training session in Assemini. Immediately afterwards, the team will depart for Naples, ready to play all their cards in a competition that, for the Sardinians, represents a chance to make history and dream of the quarterfinals.
