Napoli coach Francesco Calzona can count on all his men for the Champions League clash against Barcelona. Some players such as Cajuste, Rrahmani and Ngonge did individual work in the morning session, but will still be called up for the return match of the round of 16.
The lineup for the match against Barcelona will be crucial for Napoli's present and future, with president Aurelio De Laurentiis promising a special prize in the event of a victory. Napoli need goals from Osimhen, who has appeared tired in the last two outings. But Kvratskhelia's form gives the Azzurri fans hope.
After the first leg ended in a draw, only the winner in Barcelona (including on penalties) will advance to the Champions League. The starting eleven should be similar to the one seen against Torino.

Locatelli doesn't shy away: "This isn't working. Juve is much stronger than this team."
Juve, Spalletti: "We were too timid, Napoli were stronger. When Maradona sings, it's always a thrill..."
Spalletti returns to Maradona: "My history with Napoli is forever."
Conte faces Spalletti for the first time. And fans are divided on their reception of the former great.
It will be interesting to see if Rrahmani starts alongside Juan Jesus or if Ostigard still gets his chance. In defense, Mario Rui could give way to Olivera.
In midfield, Traoré will play alongside Lobotka and Anguissa, given Zielinski's absence from the UEFA list. In attack, the trio is expected to consist of Politano, Osimhen, and Kvaratskhelia.
The finishing touches are scheduled for tomorrow morning, followed by a press conference with Calzona and a player in the afternoon at 19pm.
