Luo Ti: Hoylen has not yet returned from injury. Mi Conte is considering using a strikerless formation in this round of Sengoku.

According to "Corriere dello Sport" on October 24, Naples' center Hoylen and Lukaku are both injured. Naples will face Inter Milan in the Serie A highlight match at the weekend. Conte is considering using a false No. 9 forward-less formation.

Luo Ti pointed out that this head-on confrontation with Inter Milan is crucial for Naples, and can even be said to be decisive. Conte is still not sure whether he can rely on main center Hoylen. Whether Hoylen can return will not be known until the last practice before the game.

It is not optimistic at the moment. Hoylen still did not return to the team training yesterday. This signal is obviously not positive. And Naples will once again lack their central axis core line, Rahmani, Lobotka and Lukaku will not be able to play.

In the games against Turin and Eindhoven, Conte sent Luka to play, but Luka is unlikely to start three consecutive games. If Hoylen is confirmed to be absent, Conte may use a forwardless formation against Inter Milan. Conte tried it before in pre-season, when De Bruyne briefly served as a false nine. However, in the end, the options available are far more than just De Bruyne. There are wide players like Neres and Long, who all have scoring ability and offensive awareness. The specific arrangements will have to wait for Hoylen's physical condition to be finally confirmed.

Naples, which lacks Hoylen, has suffered a losing streak in the past two games, and the team's offensive threat and efficiency have also dropped significantly: his strength, speed and deep running ability are crucial weapons whether in a 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3 formation.
