Kone and Dybala available to start in Napoli showdown | OneFootball

According to Il Tempo, Koné has recovered from the ankle injury he sustained on Thursday and will be available tonight against Napoli.

The French midfielder was treated yesterday, but he can’t miss such an important match and is ready to start alongside Cristante.

This is also because the pain is limited.

At that point, it’s also unlikely that El Aynaoui, fresh from his first goal for Roma, will be available from the start.

The Moroccan—who also missed the full training session with the group yesterday—came out of the game against Midtjylland feeling a bit injured (with a knee problem) and will be an option during the match. His condition is more of a concern than his defensive partner, though.

The attacking trio seen against Inter are likely to be chosen, with the same aim of avoiding giving Napoli’s robust defenders a point of reference.

And, therefore, replicate the solution adopted in the Europa League with Soulé and Pellegrini behind Dybala.

La Joya is fine, having played eighty minutes on Thursday and, as Gasperini often emphasizes, recovering quickly from one match to the next.

The surprise could be Baldanzi, who impressed the Giallorossi coach against Cremonese in the center forward position. Ferguson, El Shaarawy, and Bailey are moving to the bench.

There are few concerns on the flanks, where Gasperini is unlikely to do without Celik and Wesley, despite the Brazilian coming off a lackluster performance.

Hermoso is fully recovered and ready to reclaim his place in defense.

Ghilardi, however, impressed on Thursday in his starting debut and hopes to be confirmed. One of the two will complete the defensive trio with the immovable N’Dicka, in the centre, and Mancini, on the right side.
