REPUBLIC – Naples-Atalanta, Manolas cannot make it. Ghoulam excludes itself. Hopefully Maksimovic

As reported by today's edition of the Republic Faouzi Ghoulam has now slipped to the edge of the team and now the position of will have to be reconsidered Hysaj, that he had packed his bags for January. In the immediate future, Mario Rui's recovery would instead be decisive, but he remains in strong doubt for the postponement of tomorrow at the San Paolo against Atalanta: better attack of the series A. Ancelotti will have to face him instead with the defense very remodeled, since he continues to remain in the infirmary also Manolas (pain in the side) and only Maksimovic seems to be really ready to return to the field.

Napoli hopes that the central Serbian (back from a muscle injury) will grit his teeth and give his willingness to team up with Koulibaly, thus allowing Luperto to move to the left wing and Di Lorenzo to take back his favorite role as right back . Moreover there are no alternatives and it is unlikely that Ghoulam will be considered again, which has in fact been self-excluded with its performance too subdued at this early stage of the season. The Algerian has become a case and it is difficult to motivate his malaise only with a technical choice, beyond his form delay.
