Sky-Napoli: Spinazzola starts as XI set to face Sporting | OneFootball

In view of Napoli-Sporting Lisbon, a match valid for the second day of the single-group phase of the Champions League, Conte has resolved all doubts. To cope with the emergency caused by the absence of captain Di Lorenzo, in fact, there will be Miguel Gutierrez and Leonardo Spinazzola, with the latter recovering after muscle fatigue.

Napoli, the latest lineup news ahead of Sporting: confirmation for Gutierrez

It will be a do-or-die match for Antonio Conte’s Napoli, who are about to face Sporting Lisbon. Winning is crucial to start racking up points and put all the contenders for a spot in the knockout phase on alert. The opponent, Rui Borges’ Sporting Lisbon, is not among the most approachable, given their excellent start in this single-group phase of the competition.

For such a delicate match, the Azzurri coach will not have captain Di Lorenzo available, due to the suspension he picked up at Manchester City in the previous Champions League round. In his place, returning from muscle fatigue, will be Leonardo Spina, who will play in the unusual role of right back.

NAPOLI (4-1-4-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Spinazzola, Beukema, Juan Jesus, Gutierrez; Lobotka; Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, McTominay; Hojlund. Coach: Antonio Conte
