Napoli has revealed its Champions League squad, featuring new signing Rasmus Hojlund, while Romelu Lukaku is excluded due to injury.
Napoli has officially announced its squad for the upcoming UEFA Champions League season. The team has confirmed the registration of new striker Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the club from Manchester United.
On the other hand, Romelu Lukaku will miss the Champions League matches due to an injury.
Lukaku’s absence will be a significant blow to the team, and Napoli will need to rely on other players to fill the gap. Other new signings included in the Champions League squad are Lorenzo Lucca, Noa Lang, Eljif Elmas, Kevin De Bruyne, Miguel Gutierrez, and Sam Beukema.
Champions League squad:
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Sam Beukema, Juan Jesus, Mathias Olivera, Amir Rrahmani, Miguel Gutierrez, Leonardo Spinazzola, Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour, Stanislav Lobotka, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Scott McTominay, Eljif Elmas, David Neres, Noa Lang, Rasmus Hojlund, Lorenzo Lucca, Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Alessandro Buongiorno, Matteo Politano.
The team’s goal is to make a strong impression in the Champions League after their Scudetto success last season.
Interestingly, two players, Luca Marianucci and Pasquale Mazzocchi, were left out of the squad due to technical reasons. Marianucci, who signed for Napoli in July for €9 million from Empoli, and Mazzocchi, a wing-back, will not be part of the Champions League campaign.
With a strong squad in place, Napoli is looking to make a mark in the Champions League. The team’s performance will be closely watched, and fans are eager to see how the new signings will contribute to the team’s success.
