Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic has recalled Hernanes to his starting lineup for this afternoon's trip to lowly Sassuolo in Serie A.

Hernanes was left out of of the Aquile's 3-1 win over Catania in midweek, but did come off the bench to score late on.

The Brazilian is back in favour today and replaces Senad Lulic for the visitors, while Sergio Floccari continues in attack with Miroslav Klose suspended.

Sassuolo boss Eusebio di Francesco has made one major change from the side that earned a credible point at Napoli on Wednesday, with Simone Missiroli replacing Karim Laribi in midfield.

Sassuolo: Pegolo; Schelotto, Marzorati, Bianco, Acerbi, Ziegler; Kurtic, Magnanelli, Missiroli; Berardi, Zaza

Lazio: Marchetti; Cavanda, Ciani, Dias, Pereirinha; Hernanes, Ederson, Ledesma, Onazi, Candreva; Floccari
