Napoli versus Udinese, Secondary Routes at Nuovo Friuli Stadium
Napoli, currently third in the Serie A table and aiming for a Champions League spot, are set to face relegation-threatened Chievo Verona this weekend. However, Maurizio Sarri's side is dealing with a series of injuries and unavailabilities that could impact their performance.
Key players such as Manolo Gabbiadini and Fouzi Ghoulam are unlikely to participate in the match. Gabbiadini is dealing with a more serious injury than initially thought, while Ghoulam's playing time is uncertain due to an unspecified issue. Arkadiusz Milik, who has been out due to a long-term knee injury, remains unavailable.
Despite some recent struggles, Jorginho is expected to start in midfield for Napoli. Elsewhere in defense, Mario Rui could replace Ghoulam if he doesn't play. Kalidou Koulibaly is set to partner Raul Albiol in central defense, with Ghoulam potentially absent.
Marek Hamsik's participation in the match is uncertain due to a bothersome flu. If he is unable to play, Ainsley Maitland-Niles is expected to feature on the right wing. Lorenzo Insigne is likely to lead the attack for Napoli, with Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon supporting.
Ivan Strinic, eager to regain his spot in the Croatian national team, might get a chance in the match if Ghoulam is ruled out. Napoli's starting goalkeeper, Alex Meret, is set to continue in goal, with Pepe Reina as backup.
Napoli has won their last three Serie A matches, and a win against Chievo Verona could further boost their push for a Champions League spot. The upcoming match promises to be an intriguing encounter, with Napoli looking to maintain their impressive form amidst injury concerns.
