Lorenzo Insigne is a fitness concern for Napoli ahead of their Serie A season opener against Venezia this weekend.

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

Captain Insigne is in the headlines over the lack of negotiations over a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in June 2022.

However, he is also in doubt for the first official match of the season, as Napoli confirmed he worked in the gym today due to a slight inflammation of the right knee.

Dires Mertens and Faouzi Ghoulam are already ruled out by injury, but Hirving Lozano and Piotr Zielinski worked with the rest of the squad in training today.
