Latest Lecce vs Napoli team information
Having already lost two key strikers Romelu Lukaku and Rasmus Hojlund, Napoli suffered another heavy loss when Kevin De Bruyne suffered a muscle injury right after scoring from the penalty spot last weekend.
In addition, they are also without centre-back Amir Rrahmani, midfielder Stanislav Lobotka and goalkeeper Alex Meret; Vanja Milinkovic-Savic will continue to play in their place.
In the absence of both Hojlund and Lukaku, Brazilian winger David Neres was deployed as a “false nine” in the previous game, but it is likely that striker Lorenzo Lucca — despite his poor form — will be given a chance against a weaker opponent.
As for Lecce, they are still missing two injured players Filip Marchwinski and Gaby Jean, but Riccardo Sottil can recover in time to sit on the bench.
Like Conte — who was born in Lecce but once managed rivals Bari — coach Di Francesco also faces a difficult problem in attack.
Youngster Francesco Camarda, on loan from AC Milan, recently became Lecce's youngest ever Serie A goalscorer (17 years and six months), but he will have to compete for a starting spot with Serbian striker Nikola Stulic, who has yet to score since joining from Charleroi.

Latest Lecce vs Napoli football review
Winning an early clash that could decide the Scudetto, Napoli ended a losing streak and also ended Inter's seven-match winning run when they beat their opponents 3-1 on Saturday.
The Serie A champions were lucky against last season's runners-up, but three goals from their three star midfielders sealed the win: Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring with a well-placed penalty, before Scott McTominay and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa scored two fine goals in the second half.
Despite Inter hitting the woodwork twice and also scoring from the penalty spot, Napoli held on for the win — a result that certainly brought great joy to former Inter coach Antonio Conte.
Conte's side had suffered two disastrous away results after the international break: a humiliating defeat to mid-table Torino, then a 6-2 thrashing by PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
Napoli are now unbeaten in 16 Serie A home games since December last year — winning all four of their opening games this season — but they will have to travel to Lecce for their midweek clash.
After overcoming AC Milan to take top spot, Napoli will look to defend that position when they travel to Via del Mare.
Lecce have lost each of their last five home games against Napoli, suggesting they will go into Tuesday night's game as underdogs.
While Napoli is aiming for the championship title, Lecce is struggling to avoid relegation, having only won 6 points after the first 8 rounds.
In the most recent match, Lecce were two goals behind to Udinese but then almost made a comeback: Medon Berisha scored his first Serie A goal from a free kick, then the home team almost equalized.
However, Eusebio Di Francesco's men conceded a third goal in the final minutes, leaving Konan N'Dri's late strike as little more than a consolation.
That defeat ended a promising three-match unbeaten run, and now the Giallorossi face one of Italy's most formidable giants.
Lecce have picked up just two points and scored three goals in four home games so far — a sign that Di Francesco has yet to turn around his poor form on the Via del Mare. Under these circumstances, beating Napoli is a near-impossible task.
