Billy Gilmour is likely to start for Napoli against Inter Milan with Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa out injured.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Scotsman is favourite to start over Phillip Billing.

Napoli coach Antonio Conte has a major injury to work around in tomorrow’s top-of-the-table Serie A clash with Inter Milan.

Midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa will miss the match.

The 29-year-old former Fulham and Villarreal has been an absolutely pivotal player for Conte’s team this season.

Meanwhile, Conte would have a couple of options in midfield in the absence of Anguissa.

Billy Gilmour Tipped To Start For Napoli Vs Inter Milan

One possibility would be for January signing Phillip Billing to start in midfield for Napoli.

The Danish international did start for the Partenopei against Como last weekend.

However, reports the Gazzetta, Conte is leaning towards former Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour.

The 23-year-old will complete the Partenopei midfield trio along with Stanislav Lobotka and Scott McTominay, anticipates the newspaper.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta are predicting a 3-5-2 formation from Napoli.

Therefore, that will mean that Leonardo Spinazzola starts on the left flank. And at right-wingback, it will be former Inter winger Matteo Politano.
