The Georgian, struggling with acute low back pain, also trained today on the sidelines and left the field early. The Elmas-Raspadori ballot reopens
from Piero Rossano
Kvicha Kvaratskhelia also misses tomorrow's home match against Empoli. There is not yet the officiality of the new forfeit of the revelation of the championship of A but almost certainly Napoli will do without the offensive winger for the second match in a row after the away match in Bergamo. The Georgian, who today as yesterday trained on the sidelines due to acute low back pain reported on the eve of the last championship match, left the fields of the Castel Volturno technical center before his teammates in this morning's session. It happened just as the club was getting to know the opponent of the second knockout round of the Champions League, Eintracht in Frankfurt. Tomorrow, when Luciano Spalletti will release the squad list (when the Azzurri play at home, the coach announces the list on the day of the match), his name should not appear among those of his companions. And there shouldn't be Sirigu's eitherdue to muscle fatigue that caused him to abandon the finishing session earlier.
It is hoped to have him back against Udinese, a new ballot
Kvaratskhelia will continue with his therapies trying to be available at least for Saturday, when the match against Udinese (still at Maradona) will mark the end of the first part of the season before breaking ranks for the world championship in Qatar. In view of the match against the Tuscans, a never easy opponent for the Azzurri in recent years, therefore a new ballot opens for the place vacated by Kvara. Everything suggests that it could be the right time for Raspadori's return to the field from the first minute but this was also to be Saturday with Atalanta, and instead the coach opted for Elmas. Choice that also rewarded him: the performance of the Macedonian, author of a good race and also of the network of success on the Orobics, amazed all the skeptics. Tomorrow, half an hour before the match (6.30 pm, Maradona stadium), more will be known.
