Massimiliano Allegri said on Tuesday at the Estádio do Dragão that Napoli's priority before facing Porto on Wednesday is to sort out their league form. Porto v Napoli kicks off at 21:00 CET [20:00 GMT] on Wednesday.
Opening remarks
Allegri said: "First of all, I’d like to offer my condolences to the family of Jesús de Miguel for this tragic accident to a young man, before a footballer, who lost his life."
Team news
Allegri said: "Højlund’s fever has gone. De Bruyne will train today, and afterwards we’ll see if he’s available for tomorrow."
League position
Allegri is back in the dugout after a two-match Serie A ban. During his ban, Napoli won 4-1 at Monza and lost 2-0 at Juventus.
Napoli are 10th on 14 points. Allegri said: "Right now it’s time to act, not to talk. It’s not an easy moment. We’ve had mixed results and haven’t yet managed to win two league games in a row. But what’s certain is that we have to keep working, get back all the players who will return after the international break, and try to turn things around in the league, where there will be time and space to recover. In the meantime, we’re thinking about tomorrow, there’s a game to play."
European background
In Europe, Napoli have three points from three games after defeats in their first two matches and a 4-3 win over Bodø/Glimt. Allegri also said Porto have won 10 in a row in the league.
