Napoli-Empoli: Conte hopes for Meret and Buongiorno's recovery

THEEmpoli comes from a long period without victories, but also the Napoli is not going through its best moment: only two victories in the last nine games for the team Tale who are still chasing the league leaders Inter at minus three. At the resumption of training in Castel Volturno there are three players under observation. The first is the goalkeeper Meret, who missed the last away match in Bologna due to the flu virus, then there is the defender Good morning, out due to muscle trauma, and finally McTominay, who was substituted in the match against the Felsinei due to a hip contusion. However, optimism filters through for all three, especially for the goalkeeper, who has fully recovered from the fever attack. Buongiorno will instead have to be evaluated more carefully, even if there should be no problems for the match against Empoli. A match for which Conte hopes to have available also Spinazzola, still struggling with the blow to the quadriceps suffered against Milan. As of today, therefore, for the 4-3-3 that will face the Azzurri, a defense composed of Mazzocchi and Olivera as full-backs with Rrahmani and Buongiorno in the center in front of Meret is conceivable, while in the middle of the field Lobotka should play as director with the two Scots Gilmour and McTominay on the sides. Finally, the offensive trident will be composed of Politano, Lukaku and Neres.
