The on-loan Cagliari” data-scaytid=”3″>Cagliari centre-back pulled up with a thigh strain during a sprint in the Giallorossi’s win over Cesena, and will definitely miss the trip to Napoli.
The Gazzetta dello Sport indicates that the 27-year-old will undergo medical tests today to determine the extent of the injury. The recovery time from a thigh strain depends on whether the injury is classed as first or second degree.
First degree strains only involve a few of the muscle fibres becoming damaged, while in the case of a second degree strain more muscle fibres will be affected and recovery time is greater.
Gazzetta reports that if Astori is found to only have a first degree thigh strain he could return in as little as three weeks.
