Milinkovic-Savic starts as Napoli name XI at Fiorentina
Head coach Allegri picks Milinkovic-Savic ahead of the recovering Meret, and keeps faith with Spinazzola despite the muscle complaint that kept him out of training this week.
Napoli's line-up for Sunday 20 September's game at Fiorentina, kicking off at 12:30 CET at the Franchi, confirms two things. Milinkovic-Savic starts in goal, with Meret still working his way back from injury. And Spinazzola is in from the first minute, despite the muscle complaint that ruled him out of training during the week.
In front of Milinkovic-Savic, head coach Allegri picks Rrahmani, Marín and Di Lorenzo, with Buongiorno out through injury. The midfield is Gilmour, De Bruyne, Vergara and Lobotka. Badiashile, Olivera, Favasuli and Contini are among the substitutes.

Up front, Højlund and Politano start, with Neres, Lucca and Lang held in reserve. Fiorentina line up with Pessina in goal, Holm, Theate, Heggem and Miranda in defence, Pobega, Amondarain and Ferguson in midfield, and Bernardeschi and Cambiaghi supporting Piccoli.
Napoli arrive in Florence tenth in Serie A on 6 points from four games, coming off a home win over Bologna settled by a Lobotka goal, though the start to the season sits well short of the club's stated targets. Sunday's selection shows few changes from recent games, with Napoli's back-up front three kept ready to change the match from the bench rather than start it.
