Raffaele Pucino injured his knee in the defeat to Venezia and, although it is not yet known how long he will have to rest, the outlook is not good. Pucino will almost certainly miss at least a few games, which could be a great opportunity for the former Domžale and Koper to show again what he can do and what he is capable of.
