Napoli: Probable starting XI for Verona match
Napoli is returning to Serie A play tomorrow following their Coppa Italia victory over Juventus. The azzurri will travel to the Bentegodi to take on Juric's Verona team. The gialloblù are coming off a victory against Cagliari and currently sit in seventh place, just a point behind Napoli.
This is a delicate match for Gattuso's squad, as they want to continue pushing for 4th place, which is currently held by Atalanta by a distance of 12 points. Something should change with Gattuso's lineup with respect to the team that started against Juve in the Coppa Italia final. The defense is confirmed, with Zielinski and Elmas battling for a starting spot in the midfield, with Zielinski being the favorite. Politano and Milik are expected to start in attack in Callejon and Metens's places, but any doubts should be removed by tomorow. Lobotka returns to the list of call-ups.
Call-ups:
Keepers: Meret, Ospina Karnezis.
Defenders: Di Lorenzo, Luperto, Mario Rui, Ghoulam, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Hysaj.
Midfielders: Allan, Zielinski, Elmas, Younes, Fabian Ruiz, Demme, Lobotka.
Attackers: Callejon, Lozano, Insigne, Mertens, Llorente, Milik, Politano
Probable starting XI:
4-3-3: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Maksimovic, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Fabian Ruiz, Demme, Zielinski; Politano, Milik, Insigne.
