Youth League: Napoli's Under-19s face Villarreal on Tuesday
Nocerino names his squad for the trip to Villarreal, hours before the first team's own Champions League game, with both scorer and assist-maker from Saturday's Primavera win included.
While Allegri prepares for the 21:00 kick-off at the Estadio de la Cerámica, Antonio Nocerino has named his squad for Napoli's other European fixture of the day. The Under-19s face Villarreal's youth side on Tuesday 13 October at 16:00 CEST at the Mini Estadi, in the second matchday of the UEFA Youth League's league phase.
Twenty players have been called up: Baridò, Branchizio, Candela, D'Angelo, De Michele, De Stefano, Favicchio, Liccardo, Lieto, Manè, Marotta, Melnyk, Natale, Pengue, Pereyra, Pugliese, Riccio, Santella, Spinelli and Zappalà.

The squad includes the two key figures from Saturday's win over Pisa in the Primavera (Italy's U19 league) — Nocerino's first league win after a start without one. Manè scored the decisive goal in the 74th minute, and Baridò, on from the bench, provided the assist. Also included is Pereyra, the 2008-born forward who received his first call-up to the first team days ago for Napoli-Frosinone — left out of the Primavera squad for that occasion on purpose — and who now returns to the European group.
The result from the Mini Estadi will be known in the early afternoon on Tuesday, hours before kick-off at the Cerámica: two Napoli sides, two grounds, the same opponent in a single day.
