According to reports from TuttoMercatoWeb, Allegri fielded a strong starting lineup including Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Frank Anguissa, and Rasmus Hojlund. However, Arezzo dominated early on.

Cerri opened the scoring with an 11th-minute header before Gilli doubled the lead shortly before the hour mark.

Matteo Politano pulled one back from the penalty spot on 60 minutes, but Mavulli added a late third to confirm victory for the Tuscan side.

Napoli appeared sluggish throughout the fixture as players continue to work back toward full match fitness.

Based on official team updates, striker Lorenzo Lucca suffered a sprained right ankle in the 85th minute and will undergo further evaluation.

The injury could impact potential summer transfer moves, with Fiorentina reportedly monitoring Lucca's condition closely.

Elsewhere in pre-season action, Fiorentina secured a 1-0 win over Gubbio.

Albert Gudmundsson converted a first-half penalty following a foul on debutant Arthur Atta to seal the victory for the Viola.
