After the grandiose comeback achieved at Penzo against Venezia it seemed that the doors of an ambitious season finale could be opened for Reggiana; instead the three defeats in the next three games brought Nesta’s team back to earth who, as newly promoted players, will still have to make an effort to finish the championship outside the risk zone (+4 at the moment on the Playouts).
A Reggiana team which, despite the latest heavy KOs (such as the 0-4 against Cosenza or the defeat in Lecco), is still becoming the protagonist of an honest season upon returning to the lower division, with illustrious victims and almost never entangled in the slums of the rankings . But it certainly won’t be a simple final gust for Nesta, called to lift a team now in crisis and which necessarily needs to score points, having to face a thorny situation in terms of availability.
To the absences of key men such as Vergara, Crnigoj and above all Girma (in addition to that of the former squad Vido from the beginning of the season) there will also be that of Sampirisi, who did not actually finish his season due to a second injury to the rectus femoris left. Another shortcoming that the former Milan and Lazio defender will have to remedy, and which will make Saturday’s trip to Barbera even more difficult; Furthermore, the starting goalkeeper, the expert Francesco Bardi, is still struggling with a persistent ankle problem, but he could return to the squad, even if Satalino will be back to defend the Granata goal.
