Empoli's preparations resume this morning at 11 at the Castellani subsidiary in view of the away match on Saturday at 15 in Como. A crucial match for the sprint to safety, from which D'Aversa's team will necessarily have to try to get some points. It will be a key week to understand who will be able to recover and who will not of the injured players. Apart from Ismajli, who has already returned to Turin against the Granata and is resting in his national team's first match, those closest to returning to the list of available players are Fazzini, Viti and Solbakken. The first has already done part of the training with the team in recent days and should he work more continuously from today until Friday he will be among those called up after more than two months since his last appearance (January 25 in the 1-1 home draw with Bologna). The same goes for the young Italian defender who has not played since February 8 when he left the field in the 28th minute of Empoli-Milan (final score 0-2) due to a severe trauma to his left knee. Solbakken, on the other hand, has been out for three and a half months, having gone under the knife due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in training in the days before the home match against Torino on December 13. Their conditions will be assessed in the next sessions, as will those of Maleh, struggling with a problem with the collateral ligament in his left knee, and Anjorin, who still has to recover from the muscular problem he suffered at the Allianz Stadium in Turin against Juventus at the beginning of February. It is more difficult, however, for Zurkowski to recover, still struggling with a knee problem that does not allow him to train well, while Ebuehi is increasing the intensity of his work. The Nigerian winger has already returned to the squad against both Roma and Torino, but without having tasted the field again. After all, it is normal that his condition was not at its best after being out for almost a year following the rupture of the cruciate ligament in his knee last season. Regardless of all these considerations, it is still too early to outline a lineup for the Sinigaglia challenge.

Yes. There.
