The Neroverdi were the absolute revelation of the campaign, but have stuttered of late with only one win the last six rounds and two consecutive defeats.
“We certainly alternated good performances with ones that were less impressive and need to get back on track,” said the Coach in a Press conference.
“I am glad the transfer window will close on Monday, because it means I’ll finally be able to work in peace with a set squad all the way through to June.
“Francesco Magnanelli is back tomorrow, but Emanuele Terranova and Simone Missiroli are still out. We hope to get Missiroli back against Palermo.”
Magnanelli was on target when these sides met in September, as Sassuolo fought back twice for a 2-2 draw, while Mauricio Pinilla and Sime Vrsaljko saw red.
Antonio Floro Flores also scored that day, but he is left out again because of on-going transfer negotiations.
Marcello Trotta arrived from Avellino this week and he is included in the squad.
“I like Trotta above all for his work-rate. He is learning the mechanisms and movements that I want from my forwards.
“The trouble is that we got too ahead of ourselves and need to focus on one game at a time. It takes humility to do that and not lose sight of our true objectives.”
Sassuolo squad for Atalanta: Pomini, Consigli, Pegolo; Longhi, Antei, Vrsaljko, Peluso, Acerbi, Ariaudo, Gazzola, Cannavaro; Magnanelli, Pellegrini, Biondini, Duncan, Broh; Falcinelli, Politano, Sansone, Berardi, Trotta
