Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri is reportedly unsure whether Mario Rui or Christian Maggio should face Juventus tomorrow night.

Faouzi Ghoulam is out for the long-term with a cruciate ligament injury, so Elseid Hysaj has moved over to the left and Maggio has returned at right-back.

The 35-year-old impressed against Udinese on Sunday, but if he plays against the Bianconeri it will be three games in 10 days, as he played 90 minutes against Shakhtar Donetsk too.

Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri is reportedly unsure whether Mario Rui or Christian Maggio should face Juventus tomorrow night.

Faouzi Ghoulam is out for the long-term with a cruciate ligament injury, so Elseid Hysaj has moved over to the left and Maggio has returned at right-back.

The 35-year-old impressed against Udinese on Sunday, but if he plays against the Bianconeri it will be three games in 10 days, as he played 90 minutes against Shakhtar Donetsk too.

That could present an issue for Sarri’s side, particularly if Juve Coach Max Allegri deploys the pacy Douglas Costa on the left wing.

The Coach is therefore considering bringing in Mario Rui at left-back, switching Hysaj back to his more familiar role on the right.

However, the Portuguese is coming back from an ankle injury and has played only 139 minutes in total this season.
