As Napoli prepares to face Juventus at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin, director Giovanni Manna has issued a stern warning regarding the match. Despite Juventus currently facing a crisis, Manna insists that they must not be underestimated. He emphasized the importance of the upcoming Serie A game, which is set to kick off at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET), highlighting that the stakes are high for both teams as they navigate their respective challenges.

Manna's comments come on the heels of Napoli's recent 4-1 victory against Monza, which helped the team regain some momentum in the league. However, the victory was marred by the injury of midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, who suffered a severe ankle sprain and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. This injury adds pressure on the squad as they look to maintain their form against a struggling Juventus side.S1S2

Additionally, Manna has called on forward Lorenzo Lucca to step up and prove his worth in what will be a rare starting opportunity for him. The director's faith in Lucca underscores the need for players to rise to the occasion, especially in light of the team's injury woes and the critical nature of the match against a historically strong rival like Juventus.S1S2
