Napoli are on the brink of being eliminated from the Champions League as the troubled Italian club face Chelsea on Wednesday racked by a deep injury crisis and a faltering Serie A title defence.
Sat just inside the elimination zone on only eight points from seven matches after last weeks miserable 1-1 draw at FC Copenhagen, Napoli must beat Chelsea to scrape a place in next months play-offs.
That will be no easy task with the Blues, Antonio Contes former club, needing a win to stay in the top eight and bag direct qualification for the last 16.
