Diego Demme and Kevin Malcuit have been included in Napoli’s Europa League squad list, unlike Faouzi Ghoulam.
The Azzurri have been drawn in Group C with Legia Warsaw, Leicester City and Spartak Moscow.
Luciano Spalletti picked both Demme and Malcuit even if the midfielder is currently injured, while Malcuit is believed not to be in the club’s plans as he was sent out on loan at Fiorentina last season.
Faouzi Ghoulam is currently dealing with a knee injury and has been omitted from the squad.
Napoli began their Serie A campaign with back to back wins against Venezia and Genoa.
Napoli’s Europa League squad list
Goalkeepers: Meret, Ospina.
Defenders: Di Lorenzo, Koulibaly, Malcuit, Manolas, Mario Rui, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus.
Midfielders: Anguissa, Demme, Elmas, Lobotka, Fabian Ruiz, Zielinski.
Attackers: Insigne, Lozano, Mertens, Osimhen, Ounas, Petagna, Politano.
Only 22 player?
Two important points:
1-Venezia were overwhelmed by Serie A return and Napoli easily cruised by even whilst Osimhen managed to suspend himself.
2-Genoa wasn’t ready yet, they will be hard from now to be faced with both Fares and Caicedo arrived on deadline day .
All I say is that it feels like Spaletti will have his ‘bubble burst’ soon imo. Than Gattuso will be smiling from his couch.
