Vincenzo Montella was furious with his team when they were beaten 2-1 at home by group whipping boys Dinamo Minsk in the Europa League on Thursday.

The fact they were already qualified top was irrelevant in Montella’s eyes, who even hauled Juan Guillermo Cuadrado off after 24 minutes because “his head wasn’t in the game.”

Cuadrado is suspended today anyway, joining Khouma Babacar, Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Bernardeschi on the absentee list.

Mario Gomez is the only real available striker, supported by Mati Fernandez and Joaquin.

Cesena sacked Pierpaolo Bisoli on Monday after failing to get a single victory since the opening weekend against Parma.

New boss Di Carlo has a tough test on his debut against Fiorentina, especially as Luigi Giorgi is suspended with Guido Marilungo, Renzetti, Gabriele Perico and Kranjc sidelined.

Portuguese veteran Hugo Almeida is the centre-forward with Gregoire Defrel a dangerous assistant.

Last week the Sea Horses had been leading 2-0 away to Atalanta only to lose 3-2, leaving them in penultimate place.

Cesena: ‎Leali, Nica, Mazzotta, Lucchini, Carbonero, Coppola, Volta, Capelli, Hugo Almeida, Cascione, Defrel

Cesena bench: Agliardi, Bressan, DeFeudis, Rodriguez, Magnusson, Djuric, Succi, Tabanelli, Cazzola, Pulzetti, Garritano, José Eduardo
