For the second game in a row, star striker and top scorer Toni has been left out of the squad entirely.

“Toni was not called up due to a technical decision and the same goes for Romulo,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“Luca will not be coming with us because I need players in attack with different characteristics to the ones he has.”

Is it a coincidence that Toni was frozen out after declaring many of Verona’s players did not deserve to be in Serie A?

“I can confirm that I did not agree with his declarations after the Carpi game, but this is purely a tactical and technical decision.

“We will go to Napoli to play an aggressive and intense game.”

Despite being bottom of the table and practically relegated, Hellas earned a shock 1-0 win away to Bologna on Monday night.

Following Napoli’s 3-1 loss at Udinese, will there be another massive upset in the Scudetto race?

“I am happy that the Stadio San Paolo will be packed, as it’ll give us even more energy. I am sure those 200 fans who come with us will make themselves heard more than 45,000 Neapolitans.

“Samir will start, as I’d be crazy to leave him out after the excellent debut against Bologna. Michelangelo Albertazzi will be the left-back, while we are slowly getting Samuel Souprayen back to full fitness.

“I think Federico Viviani’s ideal role is in front of the defence, with nobody alongside him. He has the characteristics to pull it off.”

Verona squad for Napoli: Coppola, Gollini, Marcone; Albertazzi, Bianchetti, Gilberto, Moras, Pisano, Samir, Souprayen; Emanuelson, Greco, Ionita, Marrone, Viviani, Wszolek; Gomez Taleb, Jankovic, Pazzini, Rebic, Siligardi
