The Partenopei are feeling bruised and battered after the midweek 2-0 Supercoppa defeat to Juventus, which saw them miss out on the first trophy of the season.
Lorenzo Insigne was in tears at the final whistle, as he fired a penalty wide when it was still just 1-0.
He has a chance to make up for that immediately, as he starts with Petagna, Lozano and Piotr Zielinski, despite reports Mertens would be able to play.
Osimhen is also on the bench for the first time since dislocating his shoulder in November, having recovered from COVID, but Fabian Ruiz is still suffering from the virus.
Verona saw their recent strong form hit by last week’s surprise 1-0 defeat to Bologna, but remain comfortably mid-table and in the running for Europe.
Miguel Veloso, Andrea Favilli, Ronaldo Vieira and Marco Benassi are still on the treatment table.
Nikola Kalinic leads the attack, with support from Mattia Zaccagni – who has been repeatedly linked with a move to Napoli – and Antonin Barak.
Hellas have a terrible recent record against Napoli, losing each of their last six Serie A meetings, home and away.
