However, Antoine Griezmann, Clement Lenglet and Frenkie de Jong are all available after recent injuries and Ivan Rakitic may start in midfield.

Meanwhile, Napoli are set to be without centre-backs Kostas Manolas (rib) and Nikola Maksimovic (knee) with injury, although the visitors expect key striker Lorenzo Insigne to feature after recovering from the thigh injury he sustained against Lazio last weekend.
