Bologna take on Empoli and Torino host Sassuolo in the warmup to a Serie A super Sunday.
The match between the Rossoblu and the Azzurri kicks off at 14.00 UK time and the later match between the Granata and the Neroverdi starts at 19.45 UK time.
Bologna are without Adama Soumaoro and Nicola Sansone for their afternoon clash, and Riccardo Orsolini is also in doubt.
Empoli cannot count on Lorenzo Tonelli, Tommaso Baldanzi, Mattia Destro and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro – the former three are injured and the latter is suspended after his recent red card.
Ivan Juric returns to the bench for Torino but he won’t find Etrit Berisha, Samuele Ricci and Aleksei Miranchuk, who are all unavailable.
Sassuolo are managing a slight injury crisis, heading to Piedmont without Martin Erlic, Mert Muldur, Hamed Junior Traore, Domenico Berardi and Gregoire Defrel. Ruan Tressoldi is also unavailable due to suspension.
