Napoli has arrived in Como for their upcoming Serie A fixture, with captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo making a welcome return to the squad. The Week 35 match is scheduled to take place at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Saturday at 17:00 UK time (18:00 CEST).
The team’s injury concerns are finally easing, with only David Neres, Antonio Vergara, and Romelu Lukaku remaining on the sidelines. This marks a significant boost for Napoli’s campaign.
Although Antonio Conte has not yet officially released the squad list, Di Lorenzo’s presence was evident when the team arrived at the airport. He had been sidelined since sustaining a serious knee injury during the 2-1 victory over Fiorentina on January 31. After a three-month recovery period, the 32-year-old defender is now available and poised to potentially feature in tomorrow’s game.
Di Lorenzo has been a crucial player for Napoli this season, appearing in 32 competitive matches and contributing one goal and three assists. The only significant selection decision for Conte in the starting lineup appears to be between Sam Beukema and Matias Olivera in defense, as Juan Jesus has recently seen his role diminish.
