Carlo Ancelotti has named the line-up for his debut Napoli friendly, a 4-3-3 with Marko Rog, Marek Hamsik and Fabian Ruiz in midfield.

The new Coach will have his first match of pre-season training against Serie C side Gozzano.

There are several new faces in the line-up, from goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis to midfielder Fabian Ruiz and centre-forward Roberto Inglese.

Obviously, choices are limited due to injuries for Alex Meret and Faouzi Ghoulam, while many are still away on international duty.

Ancelotti has kept Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 formation, but is expected to have a different approach to the system, particularly when it comes to Hamsik in a more central role replacing Jorginho.

Upfront, Inglese also represents a more traditional centre-forward in the style of Arkadiusz Milik rather than Dries Mertens.

Napoli: Karnezis; Hysaj, Maksimovic, Albiol, Luperto; Rog, Hamsik, Fabian; Callejon, Inglese, L Insigne
