Giovanni Martusciello says the international break will be useful for Empoli after six straight defeats.

The Azzurri went 3-0 down at home to Napoli this afternoon, but responded in the second-half to pull two goals back – their first strikes in four games.

"It will be a useful break in order to recuperate physically," Martusciello admitted in a post-match interview.

"But when you add everything up, even though there will be problems Roma [next opponents] will also have players away on international duty.
