Full strength Napoli travelling squad heads to Ukraine to face Dnipro

Napoli are travelling to Ukraine today ahead of their match with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, and will need to be at their absolute best to beat their opponents on Thursday. The tie stands at 1-1, and with Dnipro holding a massive home field advantage and an away goal, the vesuviani have a difficult task ahead.

To that end, Napoli have taken a full-strength squad with them to Dnipropetrovsk. Every fit and available first-teamer is making the trip, and we should expect Napoli to name as strong an attacking side as possible. That means Gonzalo Higuain, Marek Hamsik, Jose Callejon, and one of Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens, and Manolo Gabbiadini starting, with the nod hopefully going to the hot hand of Gabbiadini.

The only players unavailable are the injured Camilo Zuniga, Jonathan De Guzman, and Michu, plus Ivan Strinic, who is cup-tied to Dnipro for the Europa League. The full 21 man travelling squad is listed below; only 18 of them can be picked for the matchday squad.

Goalkeepers: Rafael Cabral, Mariano Andujar, Nikkita Contini

Defenders: Christian Maggio, Giandomenico Mesto, Henrique, Miguel Britos, Faouzi Ghoulam, Raul Albiol, Kalidou Koulibaly

Midfielders: Jorginho, David Lopez, Walter Gargano, Gokhan Inler, Dries Mertens, Marek Hamsik

Forwards: Jose Callejon, Lorenzo Insigne, Manolo Gabbiadini, Duvan Zapata, Gonzalo Higuain
