Italian football updates: Lucchese training and Pescara squad changes
In Lucchese, coach Marco Bernardini has opted to skip a rest day, ordering players to train on Monday following their match against Ghiviborgo. The team's Matteini stadium, dedicated to a historic player and coach, has a capacity of approximately 1,500 people following renovations.
In Pescara, Pablo Vitali is expected to take a more prominent role in the Delfino lineup following a long-term injury to Davide Merola, who is sidelined for five to six months. Coach Antonio Buscè views Vitali as a versatile asset capable of contributing to both defensive coverage and offensive transitions, particularly if the team shifts to a 3-5-2 formation.
