The Partenopei are still missing Andrea Petagna and defender Amir Rrahmani due to muscular issues, while midfielder Stanislav Lobotka has skipped training all week due to a bout of tonsillitis.

Faouzi Ghoulam is out for the season after knee surgery and Giovanni Di Lorenzo is suspended.

However, the rest of the squad is in full training and should make the trip to the Stadio Olimpico.

This will be the first time since November 8, 2020 that Victor Osimhen, Hirving Lozano, Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Matteo Politano have all been available for selection.

It means coach Gennaro Gattuso will actually have some choices to make and Mertens is currently the favourite to start rather than Osimhen, with Politano preferred to Lozano.

Napoli had 16 different players miss at least one game with an injury this season.

They were David Ospina, Kalidou Koulibaly, Kostas Manolas, Rrahmani, Faouzi Ghoulam, Elseid Hysaj, Kevin Malcuit, Diego Demme, Fabian Ruiz, Piotr Zielinski, Eljif Elmas, Insigne, Lozano, Osimhen, Petagna and Mertens.
