Available versus Fiorentina Meret (back) has been named in Napoli's squad list to face Fiorentina Sunday.

Impact Meret is fit after missing a month with his second back fracture of the season. He will resume backing up David Ospina, who has been the clear starter in Serie A long before his injury.

He will sit out the next two matches and look to heal during the break. In any case, David Ospina has been the clear starter in Serie A in the last few months, while Meret was playing in Europa League, where Napoli have been eliminated.
