Squad Fitness Update Prior to PSV Encounter
Napoli have received a timely boost as Scott McTominay returned to full training with the first team on Monday, just a day before their crucial Champions League contest against PSV Eindhoven. However, Rasmus Hojlund will be absent once again and is not set to feature in Tuesday’s fixture in the Netherlands.
McTominay Clears Fitness Check, Hojlund Still Sidelined
The Scotland international was forced to miss Napoli’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Torino on Saturday after sustaining an ankle injury in training last week, which had required three stitches. According to sources close to SportingPedia, McTominay participated without limitation in today’s training session, signalling his potential availability for the Round 3 tie against the Dutch club.
Meanwhile, Hojlund, who was also absent for the match in Turin due to muscle fatigue, continues to recover and remains sidelined. The former Manchester United striker has not regained full fitness and has not been included in the squad for the PSV trip.
Upcoming Fixtures and Group Stage Standing
Napoli have accumulated three points from their opening two fixtures in the Champions League group stage. After facing PSV Eindhoven, they are set for a high-profile domestic test as they welcome Serie A adversaries Inter next Saturday.
