Top scorer Higuain is suspended, but the Neroverdi aren’t celebrating.

“They’ll still have Duvan Zapata, who might be less adept at shaking off defenders, but is very good at attacking the space. Napoli have a great deal of quality throughout the squad.”

Saphir Taider and Nicola Sansone are carrying injury problems, while Emanuele Terranova, Federico Peluso and Sime Vrsaljko are sidelined.

Youth team goalkeeper Gianmarco Celeste earns his first call-up, as Gianluca Pegolo and Ciro Pomini are both unavailable.
