It has been a difficult week for the region, which was hit by flash floods and storms that moved across from Genoa.
Roberto Donadoni is under huge pressure after Parma lost four in a row, their worst run since 2001, and not picked up a single point at the Stadio Tardini this season.
He does have an injury crisis on his hands, missing Jonathan Biabiany, Gabriel Paletta, Marco Cassani, Raffaele Palladino, Nicola Pozzi and Cristobal Jorquera.
Antonio Cassano is one of the only players who brings real quality to the attack now and he could be left even more isolated by today’s line-up.
Sassuolo are still without a win this season, but did hold Juventus to a 1-1 draw last week, ending their 100 per cent record.
Antonio Floro Flores, Paolo Cannavaro, Lorenzo Ariaudo and Gianluca Pegolo miss out, but a big loss is striker Simone Zaza, who picked up a muscular problem this afternoon and isn’t even on the bench.
Instead, Sergio Floccari completes the trident attack with Domenico Berardi and Nicola Sansone.
Parma: Mirante; Rispoli, Mendes, Lucarelli, Felipe, Gobbi; Acquah, Souza, Mauri, De Ceglie; Cassano
Parma bench: Cordaz, Iacobucci, Santacroce, Costa, Ristovsky, Mariga, Galloppa, Coda, Lodi, Ghezzal, Belfodil, Sarr
Sassuolo: Consigli; Vrsaljko, Terranova, Acerbi, Peluso; Taider, Magnanelli, Missiroli; Berardi, Floccari, Sansone
