Napoli start Lorenzo Insigne and Christian Maggio for their must-win Champions League showdown with Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Partenopei must win both their remaining Champions League matches with Shakhtar and Feyenoord in order to have any hope of qualifying for the next stage of the competition, but then that might not be enough, as they’d need Manchester City to win in Ukraine too.

That's because they lost the opening game 2-1 in Ukraine and their head-to-head record could be decisive.

Maurizio Sarri goes into this showdown without Faouzi Ghoulam and Arkadiusz Milik, but also has Kalidou Koulibaly suspended in defence.

As a result, Vlad Chiriches and Christian Maggio step in, moving Elseid Hysaj to left-back, as Mario Rui is not fully fit.

There were serious doubts this afternoon as to Insigne’s fitness due to a recurring knee injury, but he is in the starting XI with Dries Mertens and Jose Callejon.

It’s worth noting that Mertens is one yellow card away from suspension in the Champions League.

Amadou Diawara and Piotr Zielinski get the nod in midfield with Marek Hamsik, resting Allan and Jorginho.

Shakhtar Donestk captain Darijo Srna has been out since September 22, when announcing he had failed a doping test and would not play again until he could clear his name.

He is not technically suspended, but has chosen to step aside while he works out what happened to activate the non-official test result.

Kryvystov and Malyshev are on the treatment table.

Napoli: Reina; Maggio, Albiol, Chiriches, Hysaj; Zielinski, Diawara, Hamsik; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne

Napoli bench: Sepe, Mario Rui, Maksimovic, Allan, Jorginho, Rog, Ounas

Shakhtar: Pyatov; Butko, Ordets, Rakitskiy, Ismaily; Stepanenko, Fred; Marlos, Taison, Bernard; Ferreyra

Shakhtar bench: Shevchenko, Khocholava, Dentinho, Patrick, Azevedo, Kovalenko, Leschuk
