The Belgian is in line to make his 1st start for the club this season.

Kevin De Bruyne can start from the 1st minute on the pitch as Max Allegri’s team welcomes Arsenal in the UCL. The former Manchester City star boasts an incredible career record vs. Mikel Arteta’s side, giving Napoli a major boost after their recent loss against Inter.

The Italian club returned to training at Castel Volturno to prepare for their UCL opener vs. the Gunners at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Head coach Max Allegri is planning key selection adjustments to move past their painful weekend loss vs. Inter in Milano.

De Bruyne will most likely make his 1st start for the club in the current campaign, replacing Antonio Vergara in the lineup.

The match is significant for Kevin because he will play against the club he has scored the most goals against.

This would also be the Belgian’s 83rd UCL match. De Bruyne has netted 8 goals vs. Arsenal in 22 games across all tournaments.
