Como manager Cesc Fabregas addressed questions about Sassuolo boss Aquilani potentially being his successor, firmly stating he has never thought about leaving the club. "If I started thinking about it, it would perhaps be my end," Fabregas said in his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's 15:00 kickoff.

Fabregas also confirmed injury absences: Liberali will miss the match with a minor issue, and Kean is unavailable, though he may be available for Tuesday.
