Napoli will host Arsenal at 3:00 AM (CEST) on September 10th. Allegri confirmed Anguissa's absence, and whether Neres can play is still uncertain.

Allegri said: "Tomorrow marks the start of a different competition from the league. To secure qualification, we need 12 points. We know that our opponents are the Premier League champions and finalists in European competitions. Arteta is a very good coach, and we will try our best to perform well and strive for a positive result."

Allegri then added: "There will be no tactical changes. McTominay underwent surgery, and Anguissa also has adductor problems, so neither of them can play. Neres' situation will be assessed tomorrow morning local time; if his knee feels good, he can play."

Regarding Hojlund and De Bruyne, Allegri stated: "Hojlund is only 23 years old and has a lot of room for growth in terms of goal-scoring ability, and he can continue to improve technically. De Bruyne is a very good player, and he will likely play tomorrow."
