“No announcements will be issued on the injured, it is a management choice. At least until tomorrow’s match.” The press office was speaking: at 17:30 today it was not known which players might be available for the decisive match against Cagliari. A sort of completely understandable pre-tactic, also because the opponent is playing with hole cards without providing any kind of indication. Even these small details may have relevance right now. Mister Nicola, however, answered the journalists’ questions to clarify some doubts. First of all, there is the confirmation that for Ranieri the season is virtually over: the Fiorentina school defender would have suffered a strain, recovery times are about a month and a half and Salernitana loses an excellent player and one of the most fit. Fully recovered Mazzocchi, Ruggeri and Djuric who on Thursday had left the field visibly tired. Obi will also be there, ready to take the field from the first minute to let Zortea catch his breath. Tomorrow morning, in the finishing session, the final decision on Ribery will be made: the Frenchman will almost certainly go to the bench and be back available after missing Atalanta in Venice. If he is fine, he has disposed of the discomfort to the eye and will defend the goalposts, while the exclusion of Mamadou Coulibaly it is not dictated by a new injury but by a technical choice.
