Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti has explained the decision to leave Manchester United loanee Axel Tuanzebe out of their Europa League squad.
The Reds defender cut short his loan at Aston Villa after Steven Gerrard's arrival forced him to minimal appearances off the bench.
Spalletti's side will face European giants Barcelona in the knockout play-off round for a place in the last016 stage of the competition but opted for Faouzi Ghoulam instead of the Englishman after originally excluding the Algerian due to his injury problems.
