Inter's Bardi joins Frosinone on loan until end of season

Goalkeeper Francesco Bardi has ditched his Spanish experience to return to Italy.

The 24-year-old joined Frosinone on loan from Inter Milan after spending a fruitless first half of the season at La Liga side Espanyol. He managed just two appearances for the Catalan club in the Copa del Rey.

Bardi will face similar difficulties earning minutes back in his home country. Nicola Leali, 22, has emerged as Frosinone's No. 1 choice, and only sits behind Sampdoria's Emiliano Viviano and Inter's Samir Handanovic in saves made (68) in Serie A.
