Palermo, Lucioni si allena in gruppo: a Pisa ci sarà

Fabio Lucioni has returned to training with the team at Torretta and everything suggests that he will be called up for the match on April 1st, Easter Monday, against Pisa. However, he is unlikely to start. The last time the 36-year-old defender played was against Pisa before his injury, where he played 81 minutes and Palermo won 3-2 in front of their fans. This match was a turning point for Eugenio Corini’s team, as they went on to achieve 9 positive results in 10 games. Lucioni’s potential return against Pisa could be a moment of rebirth for him and the Sicilians, who have suffered 3 defeats in their last 4 matches. Despite still 6 days to go until the match, there is optimism about his fitness.

It is possible that we could see the Ceccaroni-Lucioni duo back in action during the match, even if not from the start. This would only be the thirteenth appearance for both players together in this season. Meanwhile, Eugenio Corini, who is likely to switch to a three-man defense against the nerazzurri, is awaiting the return of the 4 national team players, who are all currently on international duty.

Nedelcearu will play with Romania against Colombia in a friendly in Madrid, Vasic’s Serbia U21 will face Northern Ireland, Desplanches’ Italy U21 will play against Turkey U21, and Lund will be with the United States (coming off the bench in USA vs Jamaica 3-1 and Mexico vs USA 0-2).
