Massimiliano Allegri has named a 20-man Napoli squad for their upcoming Serie A match against Monza, with Amir Rrahmani returning to the squad. The squad selection comes after Napoli's 3-3 draw against Roma, where Allegri was sent off. Rrahmani's return is balanced by the absences of Benoit Badiashile and Leonardo Spinazzola. Napoli's match against Monza is scheduled for Wednesday at 19:45 GMT.

Allegri has been given a two-match suspension following his red card in Napoli's last match, and Napoli has decided to drop their appeal against the decision. The club had initially announced they would appeal the suspension on Monday, but Allegri confirmed during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday that they were no longer pursuing it.

The 20-man Napoli squad for Monza includes goalkeepers Nikita Contini, Alex Meret, and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, defenders such as Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Amir Rrahmani, midfielders like Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne, and forwards including Rasmus Hojlund and Matteo Politano. Badiashile is out with a rectus femoris injury expected to keep him out for around a month, while Spinazzola misses the game due to a minor thigh issue.
