Gabriele Zappa Injury: Set to be back against Bologna

Zappa (thigh) returned to full training Wednesday, Cagliari announced.

Zappa will have a few more days to get fully up to speed after sitting out two matches due to a thigh strain. He started in three out of four appearances when healthy, but Marco Palestra has been impressive in relief. He might move to a more defensive role, especially with Yerry Mina (calf) currently unavailable. He has tallied at least one clearance in every showing, totaling 11 and adding three crosses (one accurate) and three tackles, with no clean sheets.
