Napoli, Conte without Mazzocchi as full-back misses Pisa clash: here’s why | OneFootball

Napoli loses a player ahead of the home game against Pisa. Antonio Conte will not be able to count on Pasquale Mazzocchi from the bench: the former Salernitana full-back has suffered muscle fatigue in training, so he will sit directly in the stands.

Mazzocchi out against Pisa. The full-back has suffered muscle fatigue

Bad news for Napoli a few minutes before the second home game of the blues, against Gilardino's Pisa. Antonio Conte will have to do without Pasquale Mazzocchi, the only natural substitute for Di Lorenzo in the squad, due to muscle fatigue suffered by the former Salernitana in training in preparation for tonight's game. The coach from Lecce can also be happy, however, for the recovery of Rrahmani, who returns to the bench after missing the last two games.

Pasquale Mazzocchi was close to being transferred in the summer, but difficulties in getting Juanlu and his importance in the blue dressing room convinced the club and Antonio Conte to still rely on him. Despite everything so far only a few minutes collected in the league, with the coach from Lecce who has excluded him from the Champions list, at least for the first part of the season.

This is the eleven chosen by Antonio Conte for the match at Maradona against Pisa:

NAPOLI (4-1-4-1): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Beukema, Buongiorno, Spinazzola; Gilmour; Politano, Elmas, De Bruyne, McTominay; Hojlund. Available: Milinkovic-Savic, Ferrante, Olivera, Gutierrez, Marianucci, Juan Jesus, Rrahmani, Lobotka, Anguissa, Vergara, Noa Lang, David Neres, Ambrosino, Lucca. Coach: Antonio Conte.
