According to SportMediaset, Napoli coach Allegri stated before the match against Frosinone that McTominay would be included in the squad list.
Allegri said: "The latest news is that McTominay will be in the squad list, and we can use him for at least 20 to 30 minutes." He then provided an update on the team's injuries: "Currently, Vergara and Favasuli will be sidelined for longer, while Oliveira should recover within a week. Anguissa is recovering. Marianucci is back, and Badiashile has also made great progress, so I'm not worried."
When discussing their opponent Frosinone, Allegri stated: "Frosinone plays actively and is in good form, but we must secure a victory tomorrow to prepare for the Champions League match. This will be an important month with many games. There can be no excuses; the team must realize the importance of the match and play with humility and respect."
Allegri also spoke about the international break: "We will only know if this break was positive or negative if we get a result tomorrow night. We played two friendly matches, giving more minutes to players who haven't played much. I saw that the players are in the same condition as when I left. Hojlund didn't play badly for us. De Bruyne played some good games and also scored for the national team. I am always happy to see players perform well for their national teams."
Regarding the increase in injuries after the break, Allegri said: "This is simply an objective statistic. Under Orsato's influence, the direction of the Italian league has completely changed, and the actual playing time has significantly increased. If you add European competitions, at this intensity, the season is equivalent to playing 6 or 7 more games, with a different rhythm and shorter recovery times."
When asked about the team needing to catch up and external dissatisfaction, Allegri stated: "We cannot be anxious, but we must remain focused and concentrate on getting 3 points tomorrow. We must try to win several games in a row to maintain our chase, and then we can think about the Champions League. The Champions League is an important goal, but we must take it step by step."
Allegri added: "I have always been self-critical because I make mistakes and will continue to make mistakes. Even when we win, I often make mistakes, but many people don't understand that. Results often mask problems. I was very angry in Florence because if I had to point out one thing that needs improvement, it's reading the flow of the game, and this must improve to get results."
