Sassuolo travel to Juventus on Saturday in the first of Week 3’s Serie A fixtures on the back of a 3-0 loss at home to Pescara, incurred by fielding an ineligible player, but Di Francesco assured his side remained in “good” spirits and would tackle the champions in “the right way”.

“Missiroli is available and will be able to play from the first minute, but we’re aware that he hasn’t played too much. There won’t be Berardi or Defrel,” the Coach told a Press conference.

“The last game created some bad feelings. We also suffered in that match and for the effort we put it, I count two wins. I can hardly look at the table, but we’re looking forward.

“Those called up are ready to take to the pitch, those I didn’t are not. Regarding the team I’ve yet to make assessments, also because a run of really demanding games awaits.

“You always go on the pitch to do great things. We’re in a good way and we have to face the game in the right way, knowing that we have a great team.”

Di Francesco was then asked about whether Sassuolo had adapted to life after Nicola Sansone and his son Federico, who is a reported target for Roma.

“[Nicola] was a key player for us and I hope we can replace him with the new arrivals and Politano,” he added.

“[Federico] serves Bologna. We met last night and I told him that in football, you never stop proving [yourself].”
