Some key players have returned, starting with Koné.

The French midfielder has recovered from the muscle injury he suffered against AC Milan and is now available again.

Hermoso, who has recovered from foot pain, is also expected to return to the squad between today and tomorrow.

This crucial return will allow Gasperini to deal with Mancini and N’Dicka’s bookings against Cremonese. The Piedmontese coach also hopes to soon welcome Dybala back, who has been sidelined by a knee contusion.

As Il Tempo reports, the goal is to have “La Joya” back at 100% for the big match against Juventus on March 1st.

The same date is circled in red on Welsey’s calendar, as he will have to recover from the tough blow suffered by Rrahmani last Sunday in Naples.

El Shaarawy’s situation, however, needs to be monitored.

The Giallorossi striker has been out for a month with an inflamed Achilles tendon. There have been some signs of improvement in recent days.

El Shaarawy has begun training on the pitch, but is still experiencing pain in the inflamed area.

Ferguson’s condition also needs to be assessed. The Irish striker hasn’t fully recovered from the ankle injury he suffered in the Europa League against Stuttgart almost a month ago.
