Keita Balde Diao has been named in the starting lineup for Lazio in this afternoon's Serie A clash against Sassuolo.

The 19-year-old has made just four league starts for the club this season and is yet to score a goal, but he takes the place of veteran striker Miroslav Klose.

Felipe Anderson is also back for the visitors, but Antonio Candreva, who injured himself after scoring the winner last weekend against Palermo, has to settle for a place on the bench.

Meanwhile, Nicola Sansone is restored to the starting XI for the hosts, with Simone Zaza and Domenico Berardi continuing to lead the attack.

Sassuolo: Consigli, Gazzola, Bianco, Acerbi, Biondini, Taider, Missiroli, Longhi, Berardi, Zaza, Sansone
Subs: Pomini, Polito, Lodesani, Chibsah, Brighi, Donis, Floccari, Lazarevic

Lazio: Marchetti, Cavanda, De Vrij, Mauricio, Radu, Cataldi, Biglia, Parolo, Anderson, Mauri, Keita
Subs: Berisha, Strakosha, Novaretti, Basta, Braafheid, Onazi, Ledesma, Ederson, Candreva, Perea, Klose
