Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez’s physical condition has raised concerns ahead of their upcoming Serie A match. The club confirmed the news in an official statement.
Manager, Claudio Ranieri, has called up 24 players ahead of their match at Unipol Domus against Empoli. However, Nahitan Nandez is certain to miss this encounter. Following a medical examination conducted earlier today, it has been revealed that the Uruguayan midfielder has suffered a low-grade muscular injury to his left thigh.
The Cagliari statement read: “Nahitan Nandez will not be part of the match.” The severity of the injury has been noted, indicating that Nandez could be out for a significant period.
The club also revealed that “Jacopo Desogus is also out; he has been working to recover from a fatigue in the hamstrings of the left thigh”.
Cagliari fans will no doubt be disappointed to hear of Nandez’s absence, with the midfielder being a key figure in their Serie A campaign. The club will be hoping that both Nandez and Desogus can make swift recoveries and return to action as soon as possible.
