SKY- Napoli in crisis for Milan trip, Olivera and Spinazzola also out | OneFootball

The fifth matchday of the championship kicks off, with Antonio Conte's Napoli leading the table with full points so far. However, on Sunday evening, the Azzurri will face their first real test at San Siro, against Massimiliano Allegri's Milan. For the away game, the coach from Lecce is in a crisis in the defensive department, where as many as 4 players will be absent.

Conte, problem in defense: four absent against Milan

Napoli is in a state of emergency ahead of the match at San Siro against Allegri's Milan. The Partenopei, with full points after four rounds, will face the first big match of the season in Serie A, and will have to do so with some heavy absences in defense. As confirmed by Gianluca Di Marzio, both Buongiorno, who left early in the match against Pisa, and Rrahmani, who has not fully recovered from the discomfort that has been bothering him for about twenty days, will not travel to Milan.

The troubles for Conte, however, are not over because Spinazzola and Olivera will also be out against Milan. The former was the man of the match in the game against Pisa, having had a start to the season above expectations. The Uruguayan, on the other hand, is his natural substitute on the left flank. In fact, in the defensive department, Conte will only be able to count on Di Lorenzo, Mazzocchi (also not at his best, after the absence against Pisa), Beukema, Juan Jesus, Marianucci and only Gutierrez on the left. Therefore, the Spanish full-back's debut with the Partenopei shirt is very likely. The former Girona player has recovered from the injury during the international break and has not yet played even a minute in official matches with Napoli
