Team News: Armando Izzo recalled by Genoa for Sassuolo clash

Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini has opted to recall Armando Izzo as they try to secure European football next season with a win at Sassuolo.

Izzo was dropped from the starting lineup for the Rossoblu's 3-2 win over Inter Milan last weekend, but plays in defence alongside Sebastian De Maio, who featured against the Nerazzurri.

Meanwhile, Carlos Sansone, who has earned his first call-up for Italy for the forthcoming Euro 2016 qualifier with Croatia, will start up front for Sassuolo, alongside Simone Zaza.

The hosts also reward last weekend's match-winner against Udinese Francesco Magnanelli with a place in midfield.

Sassuolo: Pomini, Vrsaljko, Cannavaro, Acerbi, Peluso, Biondini, Magnanelli, Missiroli, Berardi, Zaza, Sansone

Genoa: Lamanna, De Maio, Izzo, Roncaglia, Lestienne, Pavoletti, Edenilson, Falque, Kucka, Rincon, Bertolacci
