Eusebio Di Francesco says that both Simone Zaza and Paolo Cannavaro are available to Sassuolo when Atalanta come to town on Saturday.
Zaza has been out of contention since October 24, ahead of Sassuolo’s victorious visit to Parma on Game Week 8.
Before missing out the trip to Stadio Tardini, Zaza had scored past Gigi Buffon in a surprising 1-1 draw against Juventus.
In that same game, Paolo Cannavaro forfeited the encounter after just 10 minutes due to a muscular strain.

“We managed to recover some players like Simone Zaza and Paolo Cannavaro who will be at our disposal. But we must not let down our guard,” Di Francesco told media in his pre-match Press conference today.
“I don’t know how Atalanta will come here, with what mind-set they’ll face this game.
“But one thing is for sure – our mentality won’t change for this match, we must try to win.
“They snatched a positive result last time out, unlike Chievo who instead tried to achieve at least one point [against us].
“There will be many games like these – they’ll want to get some points and it will be same for us.
“We must carry forward the progress made and I must say that we have worked really well throughout this week.
“We have been training also behind closed doors, as we wanted some more calm and to prepare different things.”
