DNP in Torino game
Borrelli (thigh) wasn't deployed in Sunday's 2-1 win over Torino.
Analysis: Borrelli returned from a two-week absence, but the coach made different choices up front, rolling with Paul Mendy and Sebastiano Esposito for the most part. He'll try to find minutes in the season finale against Milan on Sunday. He has found the target once and added three shots (two on target), two chances created and six fouls drawn in his last four appearances (two starts) in between injuries.
Included for Sunday match
Borrelli (thigh) has been named in the squad for Sunday's clash against Torino, according to the club.
Analysis: Borrelli's return to the matchday squad ends a two-game absence following the thigh issue, with the forward having returned to full training Friday. He will compete with Paul Mendy, Michael Folorunsho and Sebastiano Esposito for a role in the lineup depending on the scheme, having scored once and registered three shots and two chances created across his last four appearances.
Probable for Torino match
Borrelli (thigh) returned to full training Friday, Cagliari announced.
Analysis: Borrelli will be back from a two-game absence Sunday, barring a late setback or an abundance of caution by the staff. His role has been inconsistent throughout the campaign. He'll compete with Paul Mendy, Michael Folorunsho, Sebastiano Esposito and a pair of midfielders, depending on the scheme. He has scored once and notched three shots (two on target) and two chances created in his last four showings (two starts).
Will miss some time
Borrelli is nursing a low-grade biceps femoris lesion in his left thigh, Cagliari announced.
Analysis: Borrelli will sit out at least a couple of matches because of the muscular problem. Paul Mendy (thigh) is questionable for the next game, while Leonardo Pavoletti (knee) is out in the same role. Michael Folorunsho, Semih Kilicsoy and Andrea Belotti are the next men up.
Scores and subs off against Atalanta
Borrelli scored one goal off the bench to go with two shots (one on goal) before leaving Monday's match versus Atalanta at the 77th minute because of a thigh issue, Gianluca Di Marzio relayed.
Analysis: Borrelli made an immediate impact off the bench, punching it home from point-blank range after the goalie denied a teammate, but couldn't complete the game due to a muscular injury. Paul Mendy (thigh) also left early in this one. Both will be assessed before Sunday's away game versus Bologna. Andrea Belotti and Semih Kilicsoy are the other strikers in the squad.
