Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri is upset with Serie A authorities ahead of their Champions League tie with Manchester City.

The coach feels his team face City not in the best shape.

Sarri said: "Let's see who is in shape and go into it without making too many calculations at this stage of the season, we could make changes in this one or the next one.

“It's unfortunate that those who play in Europe aren't considered by those who draw up the formula for the fixtures.

“Putting Roma-Napoli just three days before City-Napoli and four days before Chelsea-Roma seems like a shocking mistake.

“Before the last game of the group we face Juventus. It could be a decisive game for us, but I don't know about Juventus because they could already be through.

“If we're representing Italian football all over Europe, then Italian football could protect us a bit as they do in other countries."
