In the last few hours, Gianluca Lapadula has been in the news in Italy after having a better outlook on his injury. The Italo-Peruvian striker had been working alone in the gym for several weeks, but now he has managed to be with Cagliari's first team.
This was announced by Cagliari's coach, Claudio Ranieri, who sees the 'Bambino's' willingness to recover as soon as possible in a positive light. This starting point for the Bicolor striker not only excites the Italian team but also gives hope of seeing him in the national team against Bolivia and Venezuela.
In a press conference, Cagliari's coach informed that Lapadula trained with the first team to raise the demands of the coaching staff. To top it off, he asked to travel with the team despite not playing on the weekend. The idea is to integrate with the squad and be ready for his return.
"Lapadula trained today with the first team. He wants to come to Salerno even if he can't play, but he wants to be with the whole group," expressed Claudio Ranieri about the Italo-Peruvian.
A media outlet in Italy reports Gianluca Lapadula's statements.
In this way, Gianluca Lapadula could gradually become fit for Cagliari's upcoming matches. It will all be in the hands of the coach, who does not want to demand too much from his top scorer of last season.
When does Gianluca Lapadula's contract with Cagliari end?
Gianluca Lapadula's contract with Cagliari lasts until June 2025. The 'Bambino' arrived at his new Italian club in July 2022.
