Reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that Ismael Bennacer could start in midfield, with Franck Kessie again deployed slightly further forward. Simon Kjaer has been out since the end of last year after undergoing knee surgery and is on track to be back in action ahead of next season.
Gian Piero Gasperini received a fitness boost this week with all of Duvan Zapata, Giorgio Scalvini and Jose Palomino set to be available for this encounter, but it may come too soon for Giuseppe Pezzella and Rafael Toloi. Josip Ilicic, who took a break from the game to focus on his mental health, is a longer term absentee.
