Cagliari ground declared safe for home fans

Cagliari will play in front of home fans against Pescara on Sunday after their new home the Is Arenas was pronounced safe by both national and local authorities, Ansa reported.

The Sardinian side forfeited their match with Roma 3-0 last weekend after chairman Massimo Cellino defied a ruling that the stadium was unsafe and asked fans to attend the game.

Osvaldo is Roma's joint top scorer this season, with two goals, despite being suspended for their 3-2 loss to Bologna and out injured for Wednesday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Sampdoria.

Juventus manager Antonio Conte has some selection headaches ahead of Saturday's match with Roma, with Italy centre-back Leonardo Bonucci a doubt and Andrea Pirlo far from his best form.

Sneijder limped off with a thigh injury halfway through the first half of Inter's 2-0 win at Chievo on Wednesday, and reports on Friday suggested that he had suffered a tear.
