Napoli are facing a decisive call in attack ahead of the clash with Inter, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that today’s fitness test will determine whether Rasmus Hojlund can feature from the start.
Antonio Conte will only give the green light if there is zero risk, as per FCInter1908.
Therefore, the outcome of today’s training session will dictate the tactical plan.
Napoli Vs Inter Milan – Conte Awaits Hojlund Verdict
Should the Danish striker fail to convince the medical staff, Napoli will move immediately to alternative solutions.
One option is Lucca, despite his red card in Eindhoven, while the other route is a false nine system.
In that case, the candidates under consideration are De Bruyne, Neres and Lang.
Therefore giving Conte the possibility of a more fluid frontline.
Defensively, Beukema and Buongiorno are currently favoured.
However, Juan Jesus is viewed as a reliable alternative.
There also remains a goalkeeper decision for Conte.
Meret and Milinkovic-Savic are in a late-stage battle for the starting spot.
