Vergara returns to full training ahead of Roma game
The midfielder trained fully with the squad for the first time since his injury. His call-up for Napoli's match against Roma on Saturday 24 October is considered likely.
Antonio Vergara trained fully with the squad for the first time since the injury he picked up late in Italy's game against Turkey. Corriere dello Sport leaves him off its list of absentees, so a place in the squad is considered likely.
Vergara had been a doubt after a month of setbacks, and had joined group training for only half a session the day before. Neres and Alisson Santos are still unavailable, with a return awaited. Favasuli is out until the Torino game on 21 November, while Buongiorno is not expected back until January.

How many minutes Vergara could play, if any, is still open. Napoli are weighing a return for Lobotka in the starting line-up, so an extra midfield option is useful for Allegri. The official squad list will come close to kick-off, at 18:00 CET (17:00 UK, 12:00 ET) at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.
