Insigne fit to face Barcelona
Latest reports coming from Italy suggest that Napoli’s captain, Lorenzo Insigne will be fit to start for the club when they face Barcelona tomorrow.
Insigne’s presence for the game had been in serious doubt after he picked up an injury in the dying stages of Napoli’s final game of the Serie A season against Lazio, a game which Napoli won 3-1 and Insigne scored a penalty.
Tests had been carried out on the player with the results suggesting that there was reason to be optimistic but the player’s condition still had to be monitored on a daily basis to avoid any form of setback.
Sky Sports Italia reports today that Insigne trained with his teammates this morning and took part in the entire session leading many to believe that he has shaken off the groin injury that he was diagnosed with. It is also an indication that he could feature at the Camp Nou from the very first minute of the game.
Insigne has been included in Napoli travelling squad for the game and he’s expected to line up in three-man attack alongside Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon or Matteo Politano.
The first leg of the match ended 1-1, so Napoli would be looking to better the result in Spain.
