Lineup Genoa
The starting eleven for tonight:
Napoli News
The team where Chucky Lozano plays will seek to confirm the good start to the season after obtaining a 2-0 in favor against Venezia. The Neapolitans, in addition, knew their panorama in their participation in the Europa League, since they will share a group with Leicester City, Spartak Moscow and Legia Warsaw. Those commanded by Luciano Spalletti are still pending in the transfer market, where apparently they will not incorporate reinforcements.
V. Osimhen, who saw the red card on matchday 1, will not be able to play this match, which will mean a significant loss for the team.
Genoa News
The home team is looking to shake off the painful start that was losing in their visit to the last champion, Inter Milan, in the 4-0 final. Knowing that Felipe Caicedo could be a reinforcement as one of the Latin Americans on the squad to join the Mexican Johan Vásquez, those led by Davide Ballardini will seek recovery.
Confrontation between Mexicans will have to wait
Genoa and Napoli will meet this Sunday at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, with the extra ingredient that Mexican players are active in both teams, although the confrontation between Johan Vásquez and Hirving Lozano will have to wait, as the defender will not have activity tonight.
The coach Davide Ballardini ruled out the debut of Johan Vásquez in the Italian league, assuring that due to the constant trips that the footballer has made it will be better to wait for a new opportunity for him to appear on the field.
