Vanoli si augura che le 48 ore in più di tempo possano permettere al trequartista di essere a disposizione per la partita contro l’Udinese
In the press conference on Saturday afternoon, Paolo Vanoli had been clear: “We will try until the end to recover Nikola Vlasic.” If the match against Udinese had been played yesterday, as scheduled, the trequartista could not have been among the protagonists of the match: in fact, the number 10 had not been summoned and in his place the coach had called two players from Primavera, Sergiu Perciun and Alessio Cacciamani. Instead, the postponement of the match until tomorrow gave Vlasic more time to try to recover.
Vanoli attende: se Vlasic recupera sarà subito in campo
Vanoli is hoping that the extra 48 hours will be enough for Vlasic to fully dispose of his calf problem and contribute in the match against Udinese. Should the trequartista make it to recover, the place on the three-quarter in the 4-2-3-1 will be his, otherwise the alternative studied by Vanoli is to deploy behind Ché Adams the trio composed of Eljif Elmas, Gvidas Gineitis and Yann Karamoh. More difficult that Vanoli may decide to reintroduce the two forwards, Adams and Sanabria, together from the first minute as happened in Como.
Anche Lazaro out, ci sarà Ilic
This afternoon’s finishing training will allow Vanoli to understand something more about Vlasic’s condition: what is certain is that the coach does not intend to take unnecessary risks Should the calf continue to create discomfort, the trequartista will still be spared so as to avert the risk of a more serious injury. Speaking of injured players, it is unlikely that Valentino Lazaro will be called up for tomorrow’s match, even though his condition is clearly improving (the Austrian, we remind you, is also in the pits due to a muscle problem, albeit of a different nature). On the other hand, Ivan Ilic, who had been suffering from a foot problem in the past few days as a result of a stomp he received, will be there regularly.
