Rafa Benitez is expected to run through another squad rotation for Napoli’s trip out to Slovan Bratislava.
The Partenopei are out in Slovakia for Thursday evening’s second round of Europa League group stage action and are anticipated to make a handful of changes to the side that defeated Sassuolo at the weekend.
Tuttosport believe that Gonzalo Higuain, Christian Maggio, Rafael Cabral and Walter Gargano may all be rested, whilst Raul Albiol, Juan Zuniga and Jorginho are not included in the travelling squad.
In place of Albiol Henrique is expected to start, whilst Faouzi Ghoulam may come in at right-back and Giandomenico Mesto could start on the opposite flank.
Gokhan Inler and Michu are believed set to be handed starting berths, whilst Jose Callejon may keep his place on from scoring at the weekend.
Probable Napoli XI to face Slovan Bratislava: Andujar; Ghoulam, Henrique, Koulibaly, Mesto; Inler, David Lopez; Callejon, Hamsik; Mertens; Michu
