Napoli boss Mazzarri turns to frozen out Lavezzi for Coppa final

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri says Ezequiel Lavezzi will start tonight's Coppa Italia final against Juventus.

Lavezzi has been axed in recent games.

But Mazzarri says: "My choices are limited in midfield and there won't be huge changes. Lavezzi worked perfectly during the week and is in great shape.

"It sounds as if there will be a real exodus of Napoli fans travelling to Rome, so if we manage to win it'll be the crowning moment of something exceptional. Whether we win or not, just reaching this Final is already enough to make us happy."
