The Befana did not bring tasty gifts to the Lecce house but only bitter news. The infirmary of the people of Salento is once again crowded: after the long-term patients Banda and Gaspar, and the recent entry of the Albanian director Berisha, here comes Hamza Rafia. After missing the Epiphany training session, today Rafia underwent instrumental tests to assess the extent of the injury suffered on Sunday against Genoa. The results were not reassuring: the player reported a second degree injury of the biceps femoris. The Tunisian midfielder will have to be out for a few weeks, it is unlikely that he will be seen on the pitch before a month.
