Parma have recalled Amauri to their starting lineup for this afternoon's Serie A match against Sampdoria.

The 33-year-old takes the place of Raffaele Palladino and will play as the lone striker, with support coming from Antonio Cassano and Jonathan Biabiany.

Gabriel Paletta returns to the defence following a suspension and takes the place of Felipe, who is banned after being sent off in last weekend's 1-0 defeat against Cagliari.

Meanwhile, Sampdoria manager Sinisa Mihajlovic continues with the forward trio of Roberto Soriano, Stefano Okaka and Eder.

They have been forced into a change at the back, though, as Michele Fornasier comes in for the suspended Shkodran Mustafi.

Parma: Bajza, Cassani, Paletta, Lucarelli, Molinaro, Acquah, Marchionni, Parolo, Biabiany, Amauri, Cassano

Sampdoria: Fiorillo, Fornasier, Krsticic, Gabbiadini, Palombo, Regini, Gastaldello, De Silvestri, Fornasier, Soriano, Eder, Okaka
