Bryan Cristante, the man least expected, has been taken out.
For Gasperini, the Giallorossi midfielder is a sure thing; in fact, he’s been the most used outfield player this season. The number 4 guarantees balance and physicality.
The Grugliasco-based coach, after a quiet first half of the break, has lost a key midfielder. The 1995-born player had withdrawn from the Italy squad due to lumbago, while he was sidelined this week with a knee problem. It’s not just inflammation…
Bryan Cristante risks missing the first few matches after the break.
As reported by Corriere della Sera, it was initially thought to be a minor knee inflammation, but the problem appears more serious.
The Giallorossi’s number 4 will be evaluated daily. Meanwhile, his participation in Como is ruled out.
Pisilli and De Roon are warming up to play alongside Koné. Cristante risks being out for two or three weeks, which is why the inclusion of the Dutch midfielder, who trained at Trigoria with Gasperini during the break, will be crucial.
