Napoli will return to the pitch on Saturday 10 October, at 8.45pm, for the last match of the 6th matchday of Serie A against Frosinone at the Maradona Stadium. Coach Gennaro Gattuso, replacing Allegri, will have the opportunity to rewrite his agenda after the long national break, during which the team had to deal with a series of injuries that put the squad to the test.
Before the match, Napoli's squad was announced with a reduced bench due to the absences of some key players. A 3‑4‑3 was chosen for the match with Meret, Rafa Marin, Rrahmani, Badiashile, Di Lorenzo, De Bruyne, Lobotka, Spinazzola, Neres, Hojlund and Lang on the pitch. The list of starters also includes the young talent Neres, who has shown notable improvement in recent weeks. Some players, including Alisson, Anguissa and Buongiorno, have been declared unavailable due to injury or fitness reasons.
Frosinone, led by coach Alvini, presented its official lineup in a 4-2-3-1. Goalkeeper Palmisani has been confirmed, with Oyono, Calvani, Cittadini and Bracaglia in defence. In midfield, Masini and Calò had the task of connecting the defense with the attack, while Ghedjemis, Schmid and Kvernadze launched the team forward. Full-back Raimondo completed the lineup. Alvini also indicated the bench with players such as Pisseri, Desplanches and Cichella, but left Birligea and Grillitsch out for injury reasons.
Napoli, currently ninth in the table with 7 points, needs a victory to get closer to the top of the table. The club's last match, a 1‑1 draw against Fiorentina, left the team in a delicate position. Coach Gattuso expressed the need to regain the players' confidence and to show more aggressive and decisive football. Frosinone, on the other hand, is trying to consolidate their position in the mid-table and avoid the relegation zone.
With the match starting at 8.45pm, Napoli fans will be able to witness a match of great importance for the team, which seeks to regain its form and demonstrate that it is still capable of competing at the highest level. The final result, which will be broadcast live on Corriere dello Sport, will determine whether Napoli can get closer to the qualification points for European competitions or whether they will have to continue fighting for survival in the rankings.
