Napoli name Gilmour in midfield as Serie A game kicks off tonight

Napoli published probable team sheets ahead of tonight’s Serie A fixture at the Stadio Maradona. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT). Selection matters because the hosts enter the match with multiple absences and several reported returns.

Confirmed starters and absences

Billy Gilmour is confirmed to start in central midfield alongside Eljif Elmas. Scott McTominay and Stanislav Lobotka are unavailable, as are David Neres, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Amir Rrahmani.

Kevin De Bruyne and André Frank-Zambo Anguissa have been named to the bench after roughly four months out. Those inclusions boost Napoli’s options despite the list of absentees.

Broadcast, goalkeeper reports and Torino notes

The match will be shown live on DAZN in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the United States; Football Italia will run a live blog. Reports from Sky, Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport indicate Vanja Milinkovic-Savic could return in goal and Mathias Olivera may complete a three-man backline with Juan Jesus and Alessandro Buongiorno, but those line-up details are described as reported rather than confirmed.

For Torino, Zakaria Aboukhlal did not travel due to injury. Duvan Zapata is reported as the likely starter over Sandro Kulenović, while Enzo Ebosse is expected to start and might displace loanee Luca Marianucci to the bench.

With several starting spots listed as probable, tonight’s selections carry immediate stakes for both match tactics and squad management.
