Dries Mertens has been left out of the Napoli squad list to face Parma with Gennaro Gattuso who has called-up the young striker Antonio Cioffi.
Mertens has returned to Belgium for treatment as his ankle injury has still not fully healed.
Therefore, Gattuso can’t rely on the 33-year-old for the upcoming Serie A clash against Parma.
The game kicks off at 17.00 GMT at the Stadio Maradona.
Andrea Petagna is expected to replace Mertens in the Napoli attack with the 18-year-old Antonio Cioffi who will start on the bench for the Partenopei.
