The story in brief
27-second readMassimiliano Allegri downplays the ‘misunderstanding’ with Kevin De Bruyne during Villarreal-Napoli and hints that Rasmus Hojlund might start on the bench against Venezia: ‘He needs some rest.’ Napoli return to action tomorrow, visiting Serie A strugglers Venezia.
The Partenopei won their most recent Serie A match against Frosinone, but lost to Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday. Denmark international Hojlund has started all Napoli games so far, so Allegri confirmed the ex-Manchester United forward might rest tomorrow.
“We’ll train today, then I’ll decide whether Lucca or Hojlund will play,” the Napoli boss said at a press conference via TuttoNapoli.
