| Navarro not Iezzo for Napoli |
Thursday 18 September, 2008 |

Napoli tactician Edy Reja is set to choose Nicolas Navarro over regular goalkeeper Gennaro Iezzo this evening.
A packed Stadio San Paolo will greet the Vesuviani, as they take on Portuguese giants Benfica in the UEFA Cup first round.
One of the main talking points regarding Reja's team selection has been his choice of goalkeeper with Iezzo, who has played both Serie A games this term, losing the gloves to Navarro.
But his agent Luca Urbani insists that there is no controversy and that Iezzo has accepted the decision.
“There's no controversy,” he told Tuttomercatoweb. “Gennaro is obviously disappointed because he is the first-choice, but there are always changes.
“He already knew that Matteo Gianello and Navarro would be selected and it's not true that he was angry when he left training.”
