Napoli to base themselves at Vinovo for Juventus as Naples airport closes
With Capodichino shut, the squad will train and stay in Juventus's former training centre, then fly home from Porto into Salerno.
The closure of Capodichino, Naples airport, has changed Napoli's travel plans in their busiest week of the autumn.
Preparation for Juventus stays at Castel Volturno (the training ground), and the squad leave for Turin on Saturday 31 October. Their base in Piedmont will be Vinovo, Juventus's former training centre. The squad will train and stay there before Sunday's match, in their opponents' old home.

From there they go to Porto for the Champions League game at the Estádio do Dragão on Wednesday 4 November at 21:00 CET. Porto are still on 0 points in the competition. The return flight on Thursday 5 November will land at Salerno airport rather than Capodichino.
The schedule: Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday 1 November at 20:45 CET, Porto away on the Wednesday, the flight home on the Thursday, then Lazio at the Maradona on Sunday 8 November at 12:30 CET. That is three matches in eight days. Landucci will be on the bench in Turin in place of the suspended Allegri, Lobotka is doubtful and Neres is out.
Nobody picks the fixture list. Still, the squad will spend days away from home just as Juventus, Porto and the side second in the table come up one after another.
