Gennaro Gattuso confirmed that Koulibaly was eager to make his comeback after a thigh injury, but the medical staff decided “not to risk” a relapse.

Mertens has flown back to Belgium for a visit with his specialist due to a recurring muscular issue, while Maksimovic and Ghoulam are long-term absentees.

Fabian Ruiz is in the squad, but remains in doubt after suffering from flu symptoms.

Gattuso hinted in his press conference that it’s between Sebastiano Luperto and Giovanni Di Lorenzo for the centre-back role alongside Kostas Manolas tomorrow.

Lorenzo Tonelli and Leandrinho are back in the side, having been effectively excised by Carlo Ancelotti.

Napoli squad for Inter: Meret, Ospina, Karnezis; Mario Rui, Luperto, Di Lorenzo, Hysaj, Manolas, Tonelli; Allan, Fabian Ruiz, Elmas, Zielinski, Gaetano; Callejon, Llorente, Insigne, Lozano, Younes, Leandrinho, Milik
