It is no coincidence that, despite the satisfaction for the comeback victory over Juventus, the coach yesterday evening was keen to point out that the victory was deserved, yes, but not clear-cut. Now we need to recover some players and wait for the physical condition of Insigne, Osimhen and Mario Rui, the three Azzurri players who left the Maradona pitch in bad shape at the end of the match against Juventus.

Spalletti is also waiting Meret, Demme, Lobotka, Mertens and Ghoulam, pawns that he had to give up yesterday and that will have to complete their recovery in order to be available again. The team rested today and will resume training tomorrow at Konami Training Center Castel Volturno.

The Europa League adventure begins on Thursday with probably the most difficult match of the entire group, the away match against Leicester. Today the Soccer Naples he communicated that he had been informed by theUefa that the opening of the has been authorized guest sector. The terms of sale of the items will be made known tomorrow. tickets.

Spalletti, meanwhile, is waiting to hear the decisions regarding the authorization for the trip Ospina and Osimhen, players who, according to the provisions in force in England, would not be able to land in Britain because they are returning from a trip with their respective national teams to countries at risk of Covid, marked with a red dot. The two players would first have to undergo a quarantine period that would inevitably cut them off from the trip.

UEFA, following a report from Napoli and other teams that have to play matches Cup in England and who are in the same situation, have asked the British Government for a derogation, but so far there has been no response.

For Napoli it would be a significant problem to have to give up Ospina in particular, given the unavailability of Meret and the need to be able to use only young people between the posts, in the event of a refusal of permission Marfella and Idasiak.

In case of Osimhen's absence he would be ready instead Petagna, with the rest of the team's system to be verified in the next few days due to physical problems that put the presence of more than one starter in doubt.
