Giuseppe Pezzella - Out for a while Pezzella suffered a right malleolus fracture in the Salernitana game, Empoli announced.

Impact Pezzella got tangled up in a tackle and, while he avoided ligament damage, he'll be sidelined for a month or so to allow the bone to heal. Liberato Cacace will resume being the starter. Bartosz Bereszynski and Tyronne Ebuehi can also play on the left in a pinch, but the former got hurt in the same game too.

Impact Candreva had an okay first half but didn't return after the interval due to a muscular problem. He's headed for some tests. Boulaye Dia returned from injury in this one, which allows Jovane Cabral to move to a different role should Candreva need to miss time.

Bartosz Bereszynski - Early exit against Salernitana Bereszynski was forced off the pitch in the 12th minute with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Bereszynski left Wednesday's match in the 12th minute due to an undisclosed injury. The Polish defender was unlucky to pick up the knock so early into the match, making only his third start of the year as he tries to break into the normal starting XI. The club will hope this injury is not long-term, as they could be very thin in the defense, with Giuseppe Pezzella also going down with an injury this match.
