Empoli vs Sampdoria Team News

Mattia Destro remains out for Empoli in attack, but the recent signing of Caputo will help fill the void in his absence while he recovers from a calf injury.

Another former Samp player who made a recent return to Empoli like Caputo, Lorenzo Tonelli, will not feature here as he continues to nurse a serious knee injury that has kept him out since last season.

Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro will be available again after he served his one-match suspension following his red card at Udinese.

Jeison Murillo’s red card in midweek in Sampdoria’s cup exit against Fiorentina will not carry over into the league, so the Colombian defender will still be available for selection here.

Tomas Rincon was dismissed against Napoli in their last league fixture though, so after featuring in the cup, the midfielder will miss this game through suspension.
