Ranieri will implement 8 changes against Empoli

Claudio Ranieri is preparing a very rotated initial formation for tonight’s game against Empoli.

After the victory against Athletic Bilbao, Giallorossi’s coach is ready to change eight players to manage energy in view of the return to San Mamés.

Some losses are mandatory: Mancini is suspended, Celik has suffered a new muscle injury and Dybala will observe a rest day.

Despite the rotations, the equipment will maintain balance and quality. In the midfield, the Saelemaekers, Paredes and Koné must be confirmed today and in Europe, while in defense Hummels is expected to return to the field.

According Corriere dello SportPellegrini will also return from the first minute to lead the team, while in the Shomurodov attack he is favored on Dovbyk after the decisive goal against Bilbao.

In the left wing, Angeliño could rest, leaving room for Salah-Edine, who has been little used so far.

In defense, Devyne Rensch, protagonist in recent games, could be implemented as a setback in a defense of four men or as a setback in a more offensive module.
