According to several reports, the captain is not 100 per cent fit following a bruise to his calf.

With the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final with Atalanta coming up on Wednesday, the decision will be made to initially rest Insigne.

He has played six consecutive games from the start in all competition and is also in need of a break.

Kalidou Koulibaly and Faouzi Ghoulam tested positive for COVID-19, while Fabian Ruiz only just tested negative after almost three weeks out.

Dries Mertens is in Belgium for a specialist consultation on his ankle and Victor Osimhen not fully fit following three months on the touchline.

According to the Repubblica newspaper, Gattuso will shelve the 3-4-3 used in the 0-0 draw with Atalanta and switch to a 4-1-4-1 formation.

Diego Demme is expected to be the deep-lying playmaker in front of the defence, with Eljif Elmas stepping in for Insigne on the left.

Andrea Petagna remains the only centre-forward.
