MILAN (Reuters) - Sassuolo defender Francesco Acerbi has played every minute of every match for the Italian club since Oct. 18 2015 without being injured, suspended, substituted or dropped. Francesco Acerbi has played in all our last 100 matches without missing a single minute," the club said on Twitter. The last time Acerbi was not in the team was Oct. 4, 2015 when he missed the match against Empoli through injury. He was treated for testicular cancer in 2013 when he had a tumour removed. Fully recovered, Acerbi returned to action in September 2014 and shortly afterwards made the first of two Italy appearances in a friendly against Albania.
