Raul Albiol and Dries Mertens are included in Napoli’s squad to face Lazio, who as expected drop Felipe Anderson.
It had been feared that the Partenopei’s Belgian forward had sprained his ankle after limping off during last weekend’s 2-0 win at Benevento, but he is fit for tonight’s game at the San Paolo.
There were also doubts over the availability of Spanish defender Albiol, who himself sustained a knock, but he too makes Maurizio Sarri’s 21-man squad.

Inzaghi was displeased with Anderson’s performance in the 2-1 defeat to Genoaon Monday, adding the Brazilian needs ‘a different attitude.’
