Roma arrive at Napoli with Malen back but Koné out
Gasperini's side visit the Maradona on Saturday 24 October, with Napoli still searching for a way out of their slump. Malen has served his ban; Koné misses out with a muscle injury.
Roma head coach Gasperini has Malen available for Saturday's game at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, but not Koné. The striker served just one match of suspension after his sending-off in Como-Roma, so he misses Genoa and is available for the trip to Napoli. Koné is out with a muscle injury.
Roma are third on 17 points, seven more than Napoli, who are ninth on 10 after the defeat at Penzo. This is one of the matches against direct rivals that will measure the season, and it comes at the worst moment: five defeats in nine official games, and no convincing response since Villarreal and Venezia.

Roma will have their say on Saturday, but the question for Allegri is a different one. After two defeats in a row, what state is this Napoli in?
