The Week 35 fixture is set to kick off at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Saturday at 17.00 UK time (18.00 CEST).
The epic injury crisis that affected so much of their campaign is finally beginning to ease off, as the only remaining absentees are David Neres, Antonio Vergara and Romelu Lukaku.
Di Lorenzo available again for Napoli
Antonio Conte has not formally released a squad list, but there were some clues when the team landed at the airport this evening.
Among those stepping off the plane was Di Lorenzo, who has not been on the bench since he suffered a serious knee injury during the 2-1 win over Fiorentina on January 31.
Following precisely three months on the treatment table, the 32-year-old is back in the squad and hoping to make an appearance tomorrow.
Di Lorenzo played in 32 competitive games for Napoli so far this season, contributing a goal and three assists.
The only major doubt expected for Conte in tomorrow’s starting XI is between Sam Beukema and Matias Olivera in defence.
Juan Jesus had been the first choice in the back three until recently, but has dropped down the pecking order.
