However, the pre-match press conference saw Maurizio Sarri having to discuss a potential high-profile departure yet again.
The Belgium playmaker continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid, where the transfer window remains open for another two weeks.
“I have spoken with him very often in the last 10 days,” Sarri said.
“He has never said anything to me about this. I am sure Eden will be with us for this season.”
