The Hoppers kick off the 2021/22 championship next Sunday. In the overview, GC provides a squad, numbers and injury update on Giorgio Contini's side.

INJURY UPDATE

  • André Santos suffered late effects of a Covid illness at the start of training. The midfielder has been back in team training for a week and is now working on his match fitness.
  • Eliseu Nadjack is still in rehabilitation training after tearing his patella tendon nine months ago. At the moment, it is still unclear when the full-back could make his first appearance.
  • Giotto Morandi is still in rehab after tearing his cruciate ligament in February. The 22-year-old midfielder will be back at the end of October at the earliest.
