Monza's first Coppa Italia match against Avellino is approaching, and Pessina will not be part of the squad. The Italian football season begins on Friday, with several Coppa Italia First Round ties taking place. Coach Ivan Juric expressed disappointment at losing a key player but remains optimistic about the team's chances.
Pessina had been hoping to take a key role following Monza's promotion back into Serie A. However, his injury has put a damper on those plans. The 29-year-old started out in the youth academy of his hometown club and returned in 2023 after spells with Milan and Atalanta. Juric's objective is to secure safety and help some of the players develop, but Pessina's absence will undoubtedly make things more challenging for the team.
Monza must now find a way to compensate for the loss of their captain. The team's next step will be to assess the extent of Pessina's injury and determine how long they can expect to be without him. Further tests will be required over the next few days to give a better idea of the situation.
