Gasperini to start Malen-Dybala vs Napoli | OneFootball

They performed brilliantly against Torino and are ready to repeat their feat on Sunday in Naples.

The attacking duo of Malen and Dybala are expected to head to the Maradona stadium to challenge Antonio Conte.

The Dutchman has become Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking focal point, while “La Joya” has returned to training with the group at Trigoria. Having overcome his knee inflammation, the number 21 has been working with his teammates to resume training.

Dybala missed the matches against Panathinaikos, Udinese, and Cagliari and – as reported by Sky Sport – is expected to return to the starting lineup for the big match on Matchday 25.

Dybala returned to training with the group today and is aiming for a starting spot against Napoli. To challenge Napoli’s robust midfield, Gasperini will likely opt for an extra midfielder, relying solely on the creativity of Dybala and Malen in attack.

The number one candidate to start from the bench, given the win against Cagliari, is Matias Soulé. The Giallorossi number 18 trained separately today to recover from his groin pain.
