GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST insists Alfredo Morelos is fit and firing after responding to his Champions League 'wake-up call' last month.
The striker was left out of the squad for the play-off round victory over PSV Eindhoven as his fitness and mentality were questioned in public and behind closed doors.
Van Bronckhorst and Morelos held a heart-to-heart in the days following that decision and he returned to action during the 4-0 defeat to Celtic at Parkhead.
Now he could challenge for a starting spot against Napoli as Van Bronckhorst gets set to decide between the Colombian and summer signing Antonio Colak for the Group A showdown.
Van Bronckhorst said: "He’s definitely better than a couple of weeks ago, both mentally and physically.
"He is training really well. I had a good conversation with him.
"Not being involved against PSV was, I think, a big wake-up call. After that, he has done really well.
"He is in a far better place than in the last couple of weeks. He makes it difficult for me now to decide who to start."
