Napoli loses 2-0 to Avellino in joint training session

Napoli faced Avellino in a closed-door joint training session at Castel Volturno during the international break. Avellino, coached by Alessandro Nesta, secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Venturi and Di Maggio.

Massimiliano Allegri used the session to test tactical shifts, including a potential three-man defense, and to provide playing time to squad players and youth prospects. Key players such as Benoit Badiashile and Sam Beukema were monitored as they work toward full match fitness.

The squad is currently managing significant absences due to international duties and injuries. Players including Alex Meret, Scott McTominay, Frank Zambo Anguissa, and Leonardo Spinazzola have been undergoing individualized training programs. McTominay is specifically awaiting medical clearance following a procedure to resolve a minor cardiac arrhythmia.
