Cagliari, Esposito still absent: a new 15-day medical certificate has been submitted.

Sebastiano Esposito remains sidelined, and the Cagliari situation continues. On the eve of his Coppa Italia season opener, scheduled for tomorrow at Unipol Domus against Arezzo, the striker will be unavailable to Fabio Pisacane.

After the first medical certificate justifying ten days of absence, the Rossoblu club received a second, this time for fifteen days. In this case, too, the reason given was stress.

This situation adds to an already complicated relationship between the player and the club. Tensions first emerged in the final days of the training camp in Pontedilegno, when agent Mario Giuffredi asked Cagliari for a contract adjustment, but they failed to reach an agreement.

Subsequently, according to the club's statement, Esposito allegedly left the training camp without authorization. His agent countered this version with a different version. That's when the first medical certificate arrived, now followed by the second.

At the press conference, Pisacane chose not to elaborate on the matter. "The player isn't here, but it's a topic that bothers me: I'd rather talk about the match," the coach said, shifting attention to the Coppa Italia match.

Meanwhile, Esposito remains on the market. Interest has been reported from Como and other clubs, but there are currently no concrete offers. Meanwhile, Cagliari will face their season opener without their number 94, while the negotiations between the club and the striker are still to be finalized.
