Pisa Sporting Club has started today the pre‑training medical exams at the “Rehab and Sport” centre, a mandatory step to assess player fitness before the season resumes. The appointment, set for July 9, 2026, involves the entire squad, from captain Alessandro Sorrentino to new attacking signing Marco De Luca.

How are the exams conducted?

The exams include cardiac tests, orthopedic assessments and body composition analysis, all performed by centre specialists. Sporting director Gianni De Santis explained that “each athlete must pass a rigorous protocol to ensure maximum availability on the pitch”. Results, expected by week’s end, will shape decisions on any needed rehab interventions.

Why does it matter now?

Pisa Sporting Club currently sits 20th in Serie A with 18 points, posting a recent form of LLLLL. With 26 goals scored and 71 conceded, the -45 goal difference makes every physical improvement urgent. The club trails the leaders Inter by 69 points, so every point matters. Accurate checks can limit injuries and give coach Luca Gotti more tactical options.

Who is in the spotlight?

Goalkeeper Alessandro Sorrentino, 28, suffered a minor muscle strain last month; the exam will confirm his availability for the upcoming clash with Juventus. Marco De Luca, signed in January for €3.2 million, has been added to the medical routine to gauge his adaptation to Serie A’s pace.

What’s expected from the next training camp?

After the exams, the squad will move to the Montecatini training ground for an intensive ten‑day camp. Gotti aims to focus on defence and transitions, critical areas for a side that has let in 71 goals. If the analyses show good condition, the coach can experiment with new formations without fearing key player absences.

What’s the broader context?

The club is trying to reverse a difficult season. With the current standing, every win is vital to climb out of the relegation zone. Medical checks are the first step of a larger plan that includes market signings and a tactical overhaul. The upcoming match against Juventus will be a decisive test of these measures.
