Hamza Rafia Injury: Not part of the plans

Rafia hasn't been inserted in the Serie A list for the next few months, director Pantaleo Corvino announced.

Rafia dealt with an illness before the break and was made available on the transfer market but didn't transfer. He could be reintroduced only in case of severe injuries. He logged 18 appearances last season, but none since late February. Lecce will lean on Lassana Coulibaly, Ylber Ramadani, Medon Berisha, Mohamed Kaba, Alex Sala and Thorir Helgason in the midfield.
