After the defeat in Russia that puts at risk the qualification for the round of 32 of the Europa League, Napoli is trying to forget the defeat and focus once again on the championship.
On Sunday evening, in the late game, Maurizio Sarri's Lazio will arrive at the Maradona and for Spalletti's team, once again, it will be a matter of resuming a journey interrupted by the defeat at San Siro against Inter. It will be a match full of suggestions, the one against the Biancocelesti, first of all because Sarri returns to a bench on which he remained for three years, giving a lot of satisfaction to the fans.
But the welcome, predictably, will not be the best as people have not forgotten what they consider a real 'betrayal', namely the Tuscan coach's move to Juventus, even after a year spent in London with Chelsea.
And then there is the Maradona effect on the Azzurri fans, with the San Paolo full as much as possible due to the restrictions due to Covid, who will be shown the bronze statue depicting the Argentine champion, which will then be placed in the stadium's locker rooms.
Spalletti is trying to count the forced absences. In addition to Osimhen and Anguissa, injured, he will also have to do without Politano and Zanoli, struggling with Covid. Manolas is back, while for Ounas, recovered from the muscular problem that afflicted him, there is the news of a flu attack that prevented him from training today. The Algerian took a control swab and tested negative for Covid, so his recovery in extremis is not ruled out.
Spalletti will certainly be able to count on Demme who tested negative during the week and who will replace the injured Anguissa. In the meantime, the physical conditions of Insigne and Ruiz have improved, having missed the game in Moscow due to muscle problems. Both should regularly take the field against Lazio.
The team trained this morning at the Castel Volturno Technical Center and after an initial part of strength work in the gym, they performed tactical exercises on the pitch. Anguissa underwent therapy. Ruiz and Insigne performed the entire session as a group. Before training, the Company's medical staff performed a swab test on the team group. All tests were negative.
