Team Overview

Sassuolo are a club from Emilia-Romagna whose rise through Italian football is one of the more notable stories of the modern Serie A era. They reached the top flight for the first time in 2013 and became established there. A sixth-place finish in 2015-16 earned them a place in European competition, the high point of their top-flight history. Since then they have generally been a club fighting for stability in the division rather than a regular contender at the top of the table. A. Aquilani is the current manager.

The current Serie A campaign has been uneven through eight matches. Sassuolo have two wins, two draws and four defeats, with 12 goals scored and 16 conceded for a goal difference of minus four. Their recent form reads LWDWLDLL, which shows a side that has struggled to string results together. The defensive record is the clearest concern: they have not kept a clean sheet all season and concede

Impact Analysis

Sassuolo are dealing with seven confirmed absences, and none of the players is listed as doubtful, so there is no prospect of a late fitness reprieve for anyone on the list. The most striking pattern is the prevalence of knee problems. E. Pieragnolo, Fali Candé and Y. Paz are all listed with jumper's knee, and F. Leysen is out with a separate knee injury, so four of the seven absentees have knee complaints. I. Koné's broken leg is the most severe injury on the list, while D. Boloca (muscle bruise) and J. Idzes (muscle injury) round out the group.

The data provided does not specify positions or squad roles, so it is not possible to say which area of the pitch is hit hardest, or how many starters are missing. Likewise, no information on available replacements is given, which makes a precise judgment on cover difficult.

What the numbers do show is that seven unavailable players put real pressure on squad depth, as the coaching staff must reshuffle without any of these players as an option. The concentration of knee issues also makes the group's overall availability a point to monitor.

Form Analysis

Sassuolo's last five matches (1W, 1D, 3L) point to a side that has been inconsistent and, taking the results in the order listed, trending downward. The 3-2 home win over Juventus is the high point. It was followed by a 2-1 away loss to Monza, a 1-1 home draw with AC Milan, and away defeats to Frosinone (4-2) and Como (2-0). That adds up to four points from a possible 15.

The attack has produced 7 goals, and Sassuolo scored in four of the five games. The exception was the 2-0 loss at Como, which suggests the goals have been fairly steady, though the Como match showed they can be shut out. The defense is the bigger concern. Sassuolo conceded 11 goals, an average of 2.2 per game, and did not keep a clean sheet. They conceded at least twice in four of the five matches, including four against Fr
