Napoli lose 0-2 to Avellino in Castel Volturno friendly
Goals from Venturi and Maggio in the second half gave Alessandro Nesta's side victory in Napoli's second test of the break, played with seven players missing.
Napoli's closed-doors friendly against Alessandro Nesta's Avellino at Castel Volturno on Friday morning ended 0-2 for the visitors, with Venturi and Maggio scoring in the second half.
Alisson Santos, Anguissa, Giovane, Marianucci, McTominay, Meret and Spinazzola all sat out, working individually in the gym and on the pitch. Seven absences a week out from the Frosinone game on 10 October say plenty about the state of Napoli's treatment room.

It was also the test in which Allegri stuck with his 4-3-3, using Neres as a midfielder. A closed-doors friendly means little statistically, but with seven players missing, the injury list matters more than the scoreline — who is fit for Frosinone counts for more than the 2-0 at Castel Volturno.
