Europa League Preview: Insigne fit for Napoli, Liverpool host Sion

Lorenzo Insigne is expected to be fit for Napoli's trip to Poland in the Europa League as Liverpool prepare for a crucial outing.

Insigne hurt his knee in Napoli's 2-1 win over Juventus in Serie A on Saturday, but has been cleared of serious damage.

He is set to return to training and could be available for the Italian club's clash against Legia Warsaw in Group D.

“The tests have ruled out damage. Lorenzo worked in the gym, and tomorrow will join the rest of the squad," a Napoli statement read.

Napoli opened their campaign with a 5-0 thrashing of Club Brugge on the opening matchday, with the Belgians to take on Denmark's Midtjylland.

While the Swiss side beat Rubin Kazan, Rodgers' side played out a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in France.

A 3-2 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League saw the talk surrounding Rodgers' future lessen, but a loss would see it ramp up once again.

"We're looking forward to it, especially after the result we got in the first game – we went away to Ajax and got a great point – it could maybe even have been three," he told Celtic TV.

"It’s going to be a great atmosphere as it always is at Celtic Park and hopefully we can do ourselves justice."

Tottenham made an unimpressive but winning start in Group J, and Mauricio Pochettino's men visit Monaco, while Anderlecht do battle with Qarabag,
