Still, those who were in Brazil were allowed to return to pre-season training later than the rest of the squad.
But according to Corriere dello Sport, Coach Rafa Benitez has asked the pair to come back in for training next week in order to be ready for their European clash.
The Partenopei have to play-off for a place in the Champions League, with the two-legged affair taking place on August 19, 20, 26 or 27.
