Team News: Cremonese
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Cremonese boss Giovanni Stroppa to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Mouhamadou Sarr (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention. Dennis Johnsen will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
