Mattia Felici
CAG
Suffers new ACL tear
Felici is set for reconstructive surgery after rupturing the ACL in his right knee, Cagliari announced.
Analysis: Felici will likely miss the whole campaign with his second major knee injury in a row, though in the other leg this time. He was projected to be a spark plug on the wings. Riccardo Ciervo and Alieu Fadera will serve such a purpose now.
Forced off in Lecce game
Felici had one shot (one on target), one key pass and three passes in 13 minutes off the bench in Monday's 1-0 win over Lecce, leaving early due to a left knee injury, La Nuova Sardegna reported.
Analysis: Felici came off the bench but had to exit a few minutes later after getting his foot stuck in the grass while running and tweaking his knee. He left visibly upset, as he missed most of last season due to an ACL tear. He'll take tests in the coming days.
Inserted late versus Milan
Felici (knee) logged one minute without recording stats in Sunday's 2-1 win over Milan.
Analysis: Felici was deployed late, as promised by the coach, after recuperating quickly from an ACL tear. He's had mostly a super-sub role for the second season in a row, scoring twice, assisting once and posting nine shots (six on target), eight chances created and 23 crosses (six accurate) in 12 appearances (four starts).
Available against Milan
Felici (knee) "has managed to go through practice Friday and will be called up for the Milan clash. I'd like to field him even for a few minutes," coach Fabio Pisacane announced.
Analysis: Falici has recovered pretty quickly from an ACL tear he suffered in early December and could come off the bench late in the game. He played 11 times (four starts) before the injury, scoring twice, assisting once and adding nine shots (six on target), eight key passes and 23 crosses (six accurate).
