Napoli Vs Chelsea Preview: Lukaku Returns As Injuries Threaten Champions League Hopes

‎Napoli are teetering on the edge of Champions League elimination as they prepare to face Chelsea on Wednesday, struggling with a serious injury crisis and a shaky Serie A title defence.

After a disappointing 1-1 draw at FC Copenhagen, Napoli sits just inside the elimination zone with eight points from seven matches. Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in Naples in strong European form.

Romelu Lukaku is fit to return for Napoli after missing recent fixtures, providing a crucial attacking boost. However, a string of defensive injuries continues to hamper Conte’s options.

Chelsea will look to exploit Napoli’s vulnerabilities and secure a result that could seal their Champions League progression.

Prediction: Napoli 1–2 Chelsea
