The first leg of the Europa League Round of 32 will kick off on Thursday at 20:00 GMT.
Napoli's injury list is so huge that Coach Gattuso has no other option but to include six youth players in his squad for the trip to Granada, Spain. These six players didn't even have shirt numbers until now.

There are only 12 regular senior outfield players in the side, as David Ospina, Dries Mertens, Hirving Lozano, Kalidou Koulibaly, Faouzi Ghoulam, Kostas Manolas, Elseid Hysaj, Andrea Petagna and Diego Demme will all be missing in action.
🗣 | #Gattuso: "We must stay focused. We can't focus on the numbers at this stage. We have so many injuries and I'll need to send the best possible side out there"#GranadaNapoli #UEL
