SSC Napoli face ACF Fiorentina with key absences

SSC Napoli face ACF Fiorentina today, Sunday, in the fifth round of Serie A, with some absences limiting coach Massimiliano Allegri's options in his lineup, especially with the continued absence of Alex Meret, Alessandro Bungiorno, Marianofici, Scott McTominay, Giovani and Alisson Santos.

SSC Napoli received an important boost ahead of the match as Allegri confirmed André Frank Zambo Anguissa's readiness, having returned to team training after a period of working individually, making him available against ACF Fiorentina. Meanwhile, Spinazzola will miss out due to muscular fatigue.

Massimiliano Allegri has stated that the match against ACF Fiorentina will be "one of four or five matches that are the most important of the season", confirming that the team is looking to finish the first phase of the season before the international break in the best possible way, after regaining their winning rhythm with a victory over Bologna.

In contrast, the SSC Napoli coach announced Kevin De Bruyne's readiness, confirming that he expects him to start. He also indicated that the team will regain several important players after the break, including Scott McTominay, Meret, and Marianucci, which will provide the coaching staff with greater options in the upcoming phase.
