Neres, Favasuli and Spinazzola still training only partly with Napoli squad

Neres, Favasuli and Spinazzola again did only part of Napoli's session with the squad on Saturday 14 November. The group, short of players because of the international break, trained in the afternoon at the SSC Napoli Training Center. They started with physical and technical activation, then did a possession drill and a series of runs.

Nothing changes for Napoli-Torino at the Maradona on Saturday 21 November, 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET). Neres and Favasuli are expected to be available. Di Lorenzo, the captain, has an injury to the left adductor longus and Lobotka has a problem with his left ankle. Both should be back in mid-December. Badiashile is due to return between 24 and 29 November. Alisson Santos will miss all of November, and Buongiorno, who had surgery on his meniscus, is expected back in January.

Nineteen players have had physical problems since the start of the season. That counts in the team's favour, but it does not on its own explain tenth place, 15 points and three games without a win. Torino is the first home game since the supporters' protest, and the injury list will not be answer enough.
