In a recent development, Napoli coach Francesco Calzona has unveiled the squad list for their highly anticipated Serie A match against Juventus, shedding light on the unavailability of two crucial players. The official announcement confirms that Cyril Ngonge and Jens Cajuste will be sidelined due to injuries, posing a significant setback for the Partenopei.
As Napoli gears up to face Juventus at the illustrious Stadio Maradona, they will have to do so without the services of Ngonge and Cajuste. The absence of these players marks a notable change in the team’s dynamics since their resounding 5-1 victory over Juventus in the previous season, emphasizing the impact they had on the pitch.
Calzona’s squad list release has officially confirmed the unavailability of both Ngonge and Cajuste. The Italian tactician, who recently took charge of the Azzurri, made a triumphant start by securing a convincing 6-1 win against Sassuolo in a rescheduled fixture from Serie A Round 21. Now, he faces the challenge of reshuffling his starting XI to compensate for the absence of the injured duo.
On a positive note for Napoli, Piotr Zielinski and Mathias Olivera are expected to make their way back into the starting lineup. Additionally, the attacking trident comprising Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen, and Matteo Politano is set to be confirmed, promising an exciting offensive display by the Partenopei.
In contrast, Juventus will welcome back their captain, Danilo, albeit with the likelihood of him starting the game on the bench. However, the Bianconeri will be grappling with their injury concerns. Adrien Rabiot, Weston McKennie, Moise Kean, Mattia Perin, and Mattia De Sciglio are all sidelined, while Nicolò Fagioli and Paul Pogba face suspensions.
The absence of Ngonge and Cajuste adds an intriguing layer of uncertainty to the Napoli-Juventus clash. Both teams will be eager to secure a crucial victory, as they vie for higher positions in the Serie A standings. The outcome of this encounter could have significant implications for the season’s trajectory.
As the anticipation builds for the Napoli-Juventus showdown, football enthusiasts eagerly await the showdown between these two Italian giants. The absence of key players only adds to the intrigue, as fans brace themselves for a captivating battle on the pitch.
