Juve Stabia-Monza, two important absences for the brianzoli
On Sunday at 3 p.m. Monza will host Juve Stabia for the 14th day of Serie B. Coach Paolo Bianco will not be able to count on Andrea Colpani and Gianluca Caprari: the former suffered a muscle strain, the latter was injured in the refinement and is in the pits with a muscle problem to be evaluated. This is the complete list of those summoned by Bianco for the challenge with Juve Stabia: 1 Pizzignacco, 3 Lucchesi, 4 Izzo, 7 Azzi, 9 Maric, 12 Vailati, 13 Ravanelli, 14 Obiang, 15 Delli Carri, 16 Sardo, 17 Keita, 18 Zeroli, 19 Birindelli, 20 Thiam, 21 Colombo, 24 Bakoune, 25 Álvarez, 26 Ciurria, 27 Capolupo, 32 Pessina, 37 Petagna, 44 Carboni, 47 Mota Carvalho.
Andrea Colpani has recently been at the center of various market talks: back in Brianza after the unlucky parenthesis at Fiorentina, he had some difficulties at the beginning of the season but now he is rising and showing again the talent that had made him one of Silvio Berlusconi’s favorites and had led him to wear the national team jersey when Raffaele Palladino was on the biancorossa bench. And it is precisely the coach who wants him at Atalanta: Monza values Andrea Colpani at 10 million euros and has no intention of accepting formulas similar to the one proposed by Fiorentina at the time. However, the intervention of the Percassi family, with the change in the technical leadership of La Dea, could change everything.
This season Gianluca Caprari is having some difficulties: he has played 382 minutes between Serie B and Coppa Italia, scoring one goal in his eight total appearances. His contract with Monza expires at the end of the season, and it cannot be ruled out that the Brianza club will put him on the market as early as January to avoid losing him for zero in the summer. There are several clubs on his trail.Caprari is a player who brings a wealth of experience and between Serie A and Serie B he has made over 380 appearances and scored more than 70 goals. Prior to this year, Caprari’s last season in Serie B was in 2015-2016 when he wore the Pescara jersey.
Bred in the ranks of Roma, the striker played several years at Pescara before moving to Inter in 2016 for nearly 9 million euros. With the Nerazzurri he never took the field in official matches, and in 2017 he moved to Sampdoria. Gianluca Caprari then wore the shirts of Parma and Benevento before settling at Hellas Verona. In 2022, Monza signed him on an onerous loan (just over 3 million euros) and decided to buy him back the following year for 8 million euros, shelling out a total of just under 12 million euros for the striker’s card. So far with the Brianzolo club he has collected 90 appearances, 10 goals and 5 assists.
