Napoli boost for Conte: Meret returns, set for City clash | OneFootball

This morning, Napoli continued their training at the Castel Volturno Training Center, where Antonio Conte's team is preparing for their Champions League debut. On Thursday evening, at 9:00 PM, the Azzurri will take the field at the Etihad Stadium to face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, in what promises to be one of the most anticipated matches of the early season.

Champions League, the Azzurri at work in Castel Volturno: technical-tactical training and speed

The positive news concerns Alex Meret. The Azzurri goalkeeper, who stopped last Saturday due to muscle fatigue that forced him to miss the league match against Fiorentina, has returned to regular training with the group. The alarm seems to have subsided, and Conte will be able to rely on him for the crucial European away game, where he might be called upon to defend the goal against one of the strongest attacks on the continent.

This morning's session included a mix of technical-tactical work and speed-focused exercises. The intensity remains high, indicating the staff's desire to keep the group physically and mentally ready for such a prestigious commitment. The Neapolitan club, through an official note on their website, confirmed Meret's return to the group and the regular continuation of preparation. This is good news that restores confidence within the team, especially considering the goalkeeping emergency with Contini's recent injury.
