Higuain has been left out after suffering an injury in training, though it seems to be only a bruise rather than anything more serious.

“It was a really heavy knock and I’m still feeling pain, but I think that’s normal,” he told Fox Sport Latinoamerica.

“I just hope that in a few days the pain will pass, because I want to be back at the disposal of the team as soon as possible.

“Naples is a very similar city to the ones you find in Argentina and I chose it because of the club’s plans. I hope that I can repay the faith these people have put in me.”
