Catania still believes it can make it. And rightly so because, in spite of the injuries, it still has a three-point edge on the danger zone. Hopefully, Matheus will be back for Sunday’s tricky game against Castellana Grotte, while Smerilli won’t be able to make it because of a fracture on his thumb.

“We’ve been very unlucky – said Fabio Pagliara – To lose two players just before such an important game against Cavriago. It will be our last home game (then two away game and once rested) and we will really need the support of our fans to obtain some crucial points”.
