Serie A Line-Ups Confirmed for Udinese–Napoli and Fiorentina–Verona
Napoli seek to protect first place with a depleted squad.
Overview
- Serie A released the official team sheets for both fixtures, which are scheduled to kick off at 14.00 GMT.
- Napoli require a win to remain top and go to Udine short-handed after a tiring midweek loss to Benfica, with Juan Jesus, Billy Gilmour, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Kevin De Bruyne, Alex Meret and Romelu Lukaku unavailable.
- Napoli start Vanja Milinkovic-Savic behind a back three of Sam Beukema, Amir Rrahmani and Alessandro Buongiorno, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Leonardo Spinazzola out wide and David Neres, Noa Lang and Rasmus Hojlund in attack; Udinese counter with Nicolò Zaniolo and Keinan Davis, and are without Jordan Zemura, Arthur Atta and Hassane Kamara.
- Fiorentina versus Verona is presented as a bottom-two relegation fight, with Fiorentina still without a Serie A win and Verona fresh from their first victory of the campaign.
- Fiorentina name David de Gea, Marin Pongracic, Albert Gudmundsson and Moise Kean, with Robin Gosens, Jacopo Fazzini, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Tariq Lamptey out, while Verona list Lorenzo Montipò, Armel Bella-Kotchap and Victor Nelsson, get Roberto Gagliardini back, and miss Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro, Domagoj Bradaric and Tomas Suslov.
