Neres returns to full fitness during the international break
The Brazilian has shaken off the muscle problems that slowed his start to the season and used the break at Castel Volturno to sharpen up before the Frosinone game.
David Neres has long since shaken off the muscle problems that limited him early this season. With much of the squad away on international duty, the Brazilian stayed behind to work at Castel Volturno, building up his fitness, sharpening his understanding with teammates and rediscovering his sharpness in the first few metres. He is now fit enough to compete for a starting spot in Allegri's attack.
Højlund remains the main man he is competing with, the pair having already linked up in the 2-0 Supercoppa win. Played wide on the right to cut inside onto his left foot, Neres gives Allegri another option: shots from range, crosses, and the ability to change games in the second half with his one-on-one dribbling — a useful weapon given a fixture list that mixes league and European football with little rest.

Napoli are 9th with 7 points from five league games and go into the break off the back of a draw in Florence. The visit of Frosinone to the Maradona on 10 October will be the first test of how much ground Neres has actually gained.
