As usual, Rafa Benitez embraces squad rotation just days after the 2-2 draw with Inter, which saw his team fumble the lead twice at San Siro.

Gonzalo Higuain, Jose Callejon, Lorenzo Insigne and Marek Hamsik are among those rested, bringing in the likes of Duvan Zapata, Michu, Mertens, De Guzman and Jorginho.

This is a special game for Gokhan Inler, who was born near Berne, but also Young Boys player Raphael Nuzzo and Coach Uli Forte who are self-confessed Napoli supporters.

There is a hidden danger for Napoli at the Stade de Suisse, as this arena uses a synthetic pitch and that can affect the bounce and pace of the ball.

Burki, Hadergjonaj and Vitkieviez are all unavailable.

Young Boys: Mvogo; Sutter, Vilotic, Von Bergen, Lecjaks; Sanogo Junior, Gajic; Steffen, Kubo, Nuzzolo; Hoarau

Young Boys bench: Wolfli, Rochat, Bertone, Costanzo, Nikci, Afum, Zarate

Napoli: Rafael; Maggio, Henrique, Albiol, Ghoulam; Inler, Jorginho; De Guzman, Michu, Mertens; Zapata

Napoli bench: Andujar, Koulibaly, Mesto, Hamsik, David Lopez, Callejon, Higuain
