Napoli vs Roma Line-ups Confirmed Ahead of the Match

Napoli want to end their run of dropped points while Kevin De Bruyne adapts to his new role. The side has struggled recently and last lost 3-1 to Venezia. Scott McTominay scored his first goal of the season in a 4-3 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.

Napoli's coaching staff has made no changes to the squad. Rasmus Hojlund, McTominay and Matteo Politano start in the lineup. De Bruyne will again play deep in midfield. Alisson Santos, David Neres, Costantino Favasuli and Alessandro Buongiorno are injured. Antonio Vergara returns to the bench. Amir Rrahmani is not even in the squad due to flu-like symptoms.

Roma are also dealing with injuries. Lorenzo Pellegrini was substituted after suffering a tendon strain in the 4-0 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava. Paulo Dybala, Manu Kone and Mile Svilar are under treatment. Bryan Cristante returned from the bench in midweek after a month out. Donyell Malen, who missed the Genoa match through suspension, will be back in the squad for this game.

Evan Ndicka and Gianluca Mancini were rested in midweek. Niccolo Pisilli is expected to be used in a more advanced role. The match kicks off at 18:00 Turkish time.
