Vanoli will be called upon to make a final decision by tomorrow morning, but the chances of him starting are not high.If Kean fails to provide the necessary assurances to start the match, then – just as happened in the Conference League, in the first leg of the round of 16 against Rakov – Roberto Piccoli will once again take his place as the starting centre-forward.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingAll the latest updates in real time!
