This is the first start of his senior career for 17-year-old Sebastiano Esposito, because Lautaro Martinez and Marcelo Brozovic are suspended.

“We mustn’t put pressure on this lad, as we are proud he came up from our youth academy. He has stepped up during an emergency situation and we hope that he can help us out,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.

Antonio Candreva and Roberto Gagliardini are starting, despite being nowhere near 100 per cent fit.

“Our attitude towards the January transfer window has not changed, as it is not to repair the squad, but rather find elements who can improve it.

“We want to grow, certainly. These first six months have been extraordinary, at a very high level, and we want to continue that. We realise the squad is somewhat reduced, but we want to be competitive, so will take any opportunities we find.”
