Complicated situation for Napoli, who finds themselves dealing with a real emergency on the left flank. After the injuries of Mathias Olivera, Leonardo Spinazzola and David Neres, Antonio Conte finds himself without starters in that role.
The only solution at the moment is Pasquale Mazzocchi, adapted to the left lane, but with some difficulties highlighted in the last match against Udinese.
The Azzurri are gritting their teeth ahead of the direct clash with Inter, but there is hope: Olivera could return sooner than expected. The Uruguayan full-back, in fact, is aiming to be called up for the Scudetto clash on March 2, with Napoli's medical staff evaluating his progress in the coming days.
Meanwhile, for Saturday's match against Lazio, Conte will be forced to propose Mazzocchi on the left.
However, a tactical alternative is not excluded: with the return of Alessandro Good morning, the coach could advance Juan Jesus to the role of left back, a hypothesis that is currently remote but is still being studied in view of the trip to the Olimpico.
