Sarri: ‘Higuain will play’

By Football Italia staff

Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri says Gonzalo Higuain will play in the Europa League against Club Brugge.

The Partenopei get their Europa League campaign underway at San Paolo tomorrow, and the tactician was asked about the forward in an interview with Sky.

“Will Higuain play tomorrow? Right now I think so,” Sarri revealed.

“We’re at the stage of the season where he can play three games in a week. Later maybe he’ll have to take a breather, but right now he can do it.”

The former Empoli Coach also warned that their Belgian opponents will hard to handle.

“This is a good team. They reached the quarter-final unbeaten last year, and this year they went out to Manchester United [in the Champions League] and have suffered the consequences in the League.

“They have good dribblers and can be dangerous with the pace of their forwards.”
