Luciano Spalletti has confirmed that Kevin Strootman will start in midfield on Wednesday evening against Sassuolo.
Spalletti reckons Strootman has at least 60 minutes in his legs.
There was more good news in the Giallorossi camp as Spalletti announced that Antonio Rudiger is back in the squad.
He's not ready for 90 minutes yet but in the Primavera game he showed his usual levels of effort. Putting him in the starting XI would be a risk.
