Torino vs Napoli Exciting Serie A Line-ups Revealed
Lorenzo Lucca, David Neres, and Billy Gilmour are stepping up for Napoli’s injury-stricken squad. The trio, alongside Kevin De Bruyne, will face Giovanni Simeone’s Torino. This much-anticipated Serie A match will kick off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino at 17:00 UK time.
Line-up Details for Torino vs Napoli
Napoli is tied at the top of the Serie A table with Roma. However, recent international duties have exacerbated Napoli’s injury woes. Key players such as Stanislav Lobotka, Amir Rrahmani, Romelu Lukaku, and Nikita Contini are sidelined. Matteo Politano and Alessandro Buongiorno are also not fully fit. Consequently, Billy Gilmour will lead the midfield alongside De Bruyne, with David Neres playing out wide.
- Scott McTominay is absent due to an ankle issue.
- Rasmus Hojlund is out owing to a calf strain.
- Lorenzo Lucca and Leonardo Spinazzola are expected to play in a 4-3-3 formation.
Torino’s Challenges and Opportunities
Torino has been unpredictable under the new coach, Marco Baroni. They secured a 1-0 win against the joint leaders, Roma, but have faced heavy defeats to Inter and Atalanta. Injuries pose a significant challenge for Torino. Zakaria Aboukhlal, Tino Anjorin, Ivan Ilic, Zanos Savva, and Perr Schuurs are unavailable, while Ardian Ismajli is not fully fit.
Giovanni Simeone, now at Torino, will play against his former team Napoli. The midfield sees talent from Italy Under-21 international Cesare Casadei and former Inter player Kristjan Asllani.
