# Liverpool: Fans relieved with Lorenzo Insigne set to miss crunch Champions League clash

**Liverpool fans have [expressed](https://twitter.com/neiljonesgoal/status/1198959643457990657?s=12) their delight with the news that Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne will miss the crucial Champions League tie on Wednesday, according to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12962/11870155/lorenzo-insigne-to-miss-napolis-champions-league-tie-against-liverpool).**

The 28-year-old is a [critical](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/european/liverpool-vs-napoli-team-news-uefa-champions-league-insigne-milik-a9217576.html) part of the way that Gli Azzurri [play](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/match-analysis/serie-a-201920-milan-vs-napoli-tactical-analysis-tactics) with wide wingers and a narrow midfield, but he will not be available for their tricky away tie at Anfield.

The game will be a repeat of their group stage decider from last season where the Reds came out on top [1-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46511873), which is remembered for a breathtaking last-minute save from goalkeeper Alisson to deny Arkadiusz Milik.

[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12962/11870155/lorenzo-insigne-to-miss-napolis-champions-league-tie-against-liverpool) revealed that an elbow injury will prevent Insigne from playing this time. He has been one of their most in-form players this season, scoring four goals and conjuring up six assists in 15 appearances for Napoli.
