Sassuoli-Empoli is a direct clash for salvation in Reggio Emilia on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are still missing Berardi, Toljan is also out.
Grassi and Gyasi are unavailable, the former due to injury and the latter due to disqualification. Nicola should field Marin in midfield, as happened with Fiorentina when Grassi left, while the Polish Bereszyński should play on the wide right. In defense Dionisi should trust the pair Erlic and Viti, favorites over Tressoldi and Ferrari, with Kumbulla a possible surprise.
