Victor Osimhen has not been named in Napoli's squad while Kalidou Koulibaly will be starting against Rijeka in their Europa League game on Thursday night.
The Nigeria international has managed one goal and one assist for the Parthenopeans since his big-money move from Lille in the summer.
The forward featured prominently for Gennaro Gattuso’s men in their opening two games in the European competition but yet to open his account for the club in the tournament.
His teammate and Senegal international Koulibaly has been handed his third start and eighth appearance for the Parthenopeans across all competitions in this campaign.
