(Reuters) - Napoli coach Antonio Conte was happy with his side's 2-1 home comeback win over Parma on Saturday but said he prayed for his players' fitness amid squad changes as the transfer window closed hours before the third matchday of Serie A.

Summer signing Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Andre Zambo Anguissa scored stoppage time goals to earn Conte his second victory as Napoli manager and provisionally move to fourth in the standings.
