Napoli boss Rafael Benitez has named a 20-man squad for Saturday’s game at Chievo Verona – and it includes Gonzalo Higuain.

The Argentine striker, signed this summer from Real Madrid for €37m, was a doubt after a fall in Capri this week.

The centre-forward, netted as a replacement for Edinson Cavani, required stitches after cutting his jaw in a seaside accident.

The Azzurri began the Serie A campaign with a convincing 3-0 win over Bologna last weekend.

Squad: Rafael, Reina, Colombo; Albiol, Britos, Cannavaro, Fernandez; Armero, Behrami, Dzemaili, Hamsik, Inler, Maggio, Mesto, Zuniga; Callejon, Mertens, Higuain, Insigne, Pandev.
