Sometimes they come back. It was the title of a story by Stephen King: sensations that Wednesday at Empoli will not want to try local fans, reviewing four favorites a few years ago, who are making a good career in Naples.

THE CLASS OF ZIELINSKI - Piotr in the two seasons at Empoli (on loan from Udinese) with Maurizio Sarri began a predestined growth, continued in Naples with the same coach. And with Ancelotti that is enhancing it even more. Zielinski on Sunday has served a disqualification round so he looks fresh at Castellani and with his class he will be among those who will be able to put Andreazzoli's team in the greatest difficulty. Then play as a central (to rest Fabian Ruiz) or from outside little change, because the schemes of Ancelotti allow him to dance between the lines and go to hit right where the opponents are more exposed.

LEFT AND RIGHT BACK AND NOT ONLY - The Albanian Hysaj and the Portuguese Mario Rui were a bit the wings of Empoli who flew high towards the promotion in Serie A, to which both contributed. Hysaj suffered a blow on Sunday and will almost certainly leave the bench. Possible turn of rest also for Mario Rui, in which case however in Empoli they will see another puppy raised in those parts, the Sebastiano Luperto from Lecce who in the past season exploded with the blue Empolese shirt, giving his important contribution for the promotion in A and earning the first convocations in the National Under 21. Will they be happy to see them all again in Empoli?
