Coach Maurizio Sarri cannot particularly do without the Spanish veteran, with Mattia Zaccagni suspended for the game and Ciro Immobile also in doubt. His options would be limited to Felipe Anderson, Raul Moro, Jovane Cabral and Luka Romero.
Pedro has made 33 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2239 minutes. In that time, he’s scored eight goals and provided five assists, being an important option for the 63-year-old Italian coach.
