Rrahmani and Anguissa make Napoli squad for Juventus, Lobotka misses out
Both players had been laid low by flu but are among the 25 travelling to the Allianz Stadium. Seven of the squad are missing, all of them injured.
Rrahmani and Anguissa are in Napoli's 25-man squad for Juventus. Until Friday 30 October both were doubts because of flu, and the No. 13 was still feeling the blow to the sternum he took at Monza. Lobotka is not included and faces six weeks out. Landucci will again be on the bench at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday 1 November at 20:45 CET (19:45 UK, 14:45 ET), because Allegri is suspended.
The 25: Anguissa, Baridò, Beukema, Chiummariello, Contini, De Bruyne, Di Lorenzo, Gilmour, Giovane, Højlund, Lang, Lieto, Lucca, Marianucci, Rafa Marín, McTominay, Melnyk, Meret, Milinković-Savić, Olivera, Milton Pereyra, Politano, Rrahmani, Spinelli, Vergara. Nineteen of them are first-team players. Lobotka, Neres, Spinazzola, Badiashile, Buongiorno, Favasuli and Alisson Santos are missing. Of the six Primavera (the youth side) players training with the first team, Pugliese is the only one left out.

At the back there are six options: Di Lorenzo, Olivera, Rafa Marín, Beukema, Marianucci and Rrahmani. Even weakened by flu, Rrahmani is the centre-back the defence relies on to hold together, and holding together is exactly what this side has yet to prove. Juventus and Napoli have 14 points each, so the winner moves clear of the other.
