Ivan Strinic back in the matchday squad against depleted Milan side

Napoli are still without a couple of players, but they're in much better shape than this weekend's opposition, as AC Milan will be without nine players of importance.

The partenopei are getting back Ivan Strinic, who missed the last match with an ankle injury, though it's not believed that he's ready to start yet. Just having him back on the bench will have value, though, in case Faouzi Ghoulam struggles for a second straight match. Napoli are still without Jonathan De Guzman and Camilo Zuniga, however, as well as Michu, who will almost certainly never play again for the club.

Milan, however, are far worse off, missing a whopping nine players through injury and suspension. That list includes Jeremy Menez, who's starting a four-match ban for abusing a referee, as well as Philippe Mexes, Adil Rami, Ignazio Abate, and Luca Antonelli, leaving the rossoneri awfully thin on the back line.

The full 22-man matchday squad available for Napoli is listed below.

Goalkeepers: Rafael Cabral, Mariano Andujar, Roberto Colombo

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

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

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