Napoli return to training without five injured players and internationals

De Bruyne and Vergara will be the first back early in the week. Olivera plays for Uruguay on Wednesday and will reach Naples only a few days before Torino visit the Maradona.

Napoli returned to training at Castel Volturno (the club's training ground) on Saturday 14 November with a depleted squad. Allegri is without five injured players and every player away on international duty.

Torino visit the Maradona on Saturday 21 November at 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET). It is Napoli's first home game since the 1-1 draw with Lazio, which ended with a protest from the supporters.

The absent players will return one at a time. De Bruyne and Vergara are due back early in the week, followed by Scotland's Gilmour and McTominay, then Milinković-Savić from Serbia. Olivera will be the last to return. He plays for Uruguay against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday and will arrive in Naples just before the match. It would be no surprise to see him start on the bench, at least at first.

Gilmour, McTominay, De Bruyne and Vergara all started against Lazio, and Allegri will have them together for only a few days before Torino. Napoli are tenth on 15 points, without a win in three games and nine points off fourth place, the club's stated target. If Napoli slip up against Torino at the Maradona, no international calendar will excuse it.
