Conte on the eve of Napoli-Milan: "Neres recovered, but I have to make choices. Anguissa and Spinazzola to evaluate"

NAPLES – On the eve of tomorrow evening ’s key match against AC Milan at the Maradona Stadium , Napoli coach Antonio Conte took stock of the team’s condition, including returns and injuries following the international break.

" After the break, what kind of Napoli will it be? We've worked hard to regain balance. Neres is back after over a month and a half's absence. We've managed him carefully, even playing him in a friendly to regain his rhythm and movement. He's fully recovered, but I don't know if he'll start. He'll definitely be part of the match ," the Napoli coach explained in a press conference.

There are, however, some sore points: "The internationals have left us with some after-effects ," Conte said. " Anguissa has suffered from adductor fatigue. He's trained with us twice, and we're monitoring him closely. At this stage of the season, we can't afford to make any mistakes."

Spinazzola is also listed in the injury report : "He took a blow to his quadriceps on Thursday and hasn't trained since. The same goes for Okafor , who's been sidelined by adductor discomfort. He missed two days, but today he had a final training session, but he needs to be treated with caution." Despite the difficulties, Conte is trying to convey confidence: " We'll take to the field with those who are in better shape , without waiting for those who are behind. I'm fortunate to coach players with excellent tactical knowledge. Beyond the formations, what counts is the spirit and quality we show on the pitch."
