Team News: Marek Hamsik, Gokhan Inler return for Napoli

Hamsik, Inler return for Napoli

Marek Hamsik and Gokhan Inler have been brought back into the starting lineup by Napoli manager Rafael Benitez for this evening's Coppa Italia semi-final meeting against Lazio.

The influential duo missed out on the weekend defeat to Roma, but they have been integrated back into the side for this second-leg tie which is delicately poised at 1-1 following last month's first leg.

Gonzalo Higuain, who has seven goals in his last five games against Lazio, leads the line for the Partenopei, while Hamsik will offer support in what appears to be a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Meanwhile, first-leg goalscorer Miroslav Klose starts up top for the visitors, with Felipe Anderson and Antonio Candreva also being handed starting berths in an attacking Biancocelesti side.

Napoli XI: Andujar, Maggio, Albiol, Britos, Ghoulam, Inler, Gargano, Gabbiadini, Hamsik, Mertens, Higuain Subs: Rafael, Colombo, Koulibaly, Strinic, Henrique, Zuniga, Jorginho, David Lopez, Insigne, Callejon, Zapata

Lazio XI: Berisha, Basta, De Vrij, Mauricio, Braafheid, Cataldi, Biglia, Parolo, Candreva, Anderson, Klose Subs: Marchetti, Strakosha, Novaretti, Cana, Ciani, Pereirinha, Cavanda, Ederson, Ledesma, Lulic, Mauri, Perea
