Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund are added to the injury list for Napoli in today’s trip to Torino, putting them in doubt for the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven.
It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog.
The Partenopei know this is an opportunity to go clear at the top of the table, as Roma will play Inter this evening in a tough fixture.
However, the break for international duty added to the injury list for Stanislav Lobotka, Amir Rrahmani, Romelu Lukaku and Nikita Contini, with Matteo Politano and Alessandro Buongiorno only fit for a spot on the bench.
More importantly, McTominay and Hojlund are not even in the squad this afternoon, as both picked up problems in the final training session.
Napoli absentee list keeps growing
According to Sky Sport Italia, Scotland international McTominay is suffering from a knock to the left ankle.
Meanwhile, Hojlund is feeling a strain in his left thigh and is not going to be risked.
It means both require further tests and could be in doubt for Tuesday’s crucial Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven.
Lorenzo Lucca therefore starts against Torino as the only available striker, with left-back Leonardo Spinazzola moved into a more advanced role.
