Reina to miss Arsenal clash?

By Football Italia staff

Napoli are likely to be without goalkeeper Pepe Reina for tonight’s crucial Champions League clash with Arsenal.

Sport Mediaset report that the Spanish shot-stopper has not trained this morning ahead of the game at San Paolo, and could sit out the match against the Premier League leaders after failing to recover from injury.

Rafa Benitez’s men have to beat the north London club by three or more goals, or better Borussia Dortmund’s result against Marseille.

But they may have to do so without their Liverpool loanee - Brazilian youngster Rafael would be his replacement.

Reina sat out the Partenopei’s 3-3 draw with Udinese at the weekend, with the South American stand-by coming in for some criticism.
