Marek Hamsik will miss Napoli’s Europa League game at Viktoria Plzen on Thursday because of illness.

The attacking midfielder, robbed at gunpoint on Sunday, has a fever and has thus not travelled to the Czech Republic.

The Azzurri have a mountain to climb should they want to qualify given that they lost the first leg in Naples 3-0.
