MODENA HERE – 23 players called up: absent the usual Duca (physiotherapeutic recovery after 2nd degree distraction of the left iliopsoas muscle), Ponsi (preparation for right elbow surgery), Gerli (physiotherapeutic recovery after right Achilles tendon surgery), Gargiulo (competitive recovery after surgery on the left foot) and Guarino (last phase of competitive recovery from right thigh muscle injury). Riccio is back available, having served his suspension but is still not at his best due to a physical problem. Also present was the young midfielder born in 2005 Marco Oliva. We are moving towards the use of 4-3-1-2, with the return of Tremolada in the role of attacking midfielder and the movement of Palumbo to midfield together with Santoro and Battistella (it cannot even be ruled out that the 1996 class remains in the same position last Saturday). The main doubts concern the right wing, with Magnino, Oukhadda and the injured Riccio in contention. In attack Abiuso is ready to return again from the first minute and alongside him it will be the turn of one of Gliozzi, Strizzolo and Manconi.
