A loss to Atalanta further confirmed the difficult time that Cagliari is currently going through. They've only gained one point in their past four matches, falling to 15th place in the standings and only 4 points ahead of the regulation zone.
It's a delicate moment for the team and manager Rolando Maran, but Maran's position is reportedly not at risk. The club, in fact, continues to consider him the right man to lead a turnaround for the rossoblù. His seat, however, is very hot.
Regarding Birsa, it was confirmed that the player suffered a forearm fracture, but will not undergo surgery. He will remain out for about one month.
