“Their style of football has been consolidated over years, above all with great physicality in defence.
“Regardless of the result, I expect to see the right attitude from my team. We must face this test in the best way possible.”
Simone Missiroli is suspended, but there’s an injury epidemic ruling out Francesco Magnanelli, Sime Vrsaljko, Cesare Natali, Alessandro Gazzola, Emanuele Terranova and more.
“I don’t want to hear any alibis,” insisted Di Francesco. “Obviously these absences aren’t helping, as since January we’ve had one problem after another, but Saphir Taider can play with a protective mask.
“The number of red cards we’ve been picking up lately is also something we have to work on.”
