Napoli

Napoli's injury list stands at four confirmed absentees and no doubtful players, so the picture is clear. A. Buongiorno (jumper's knee), Alisson Santos (muscle injury), C. Favasuli (thigh injury) and David Neres (thigh injury) are all unavailable. Three of the four problems involve the muscles or thighs, a concentration that points to soft-tissue issues rather than a mix of unrelated setbacks. Buongiorno's jumper's knee is the only tendon-related complaint on the list.

The available data does not specify positions or squad roles, and it gives no return dates. That makes it difficult to say exactly which area of the pitch is hit hardest or how much each player has contributed this season. With four players out, the squad faces a meaningful rotation challenge, and the number of absentees means several members of the wider group will probably be asked to step in.

Without information on the replacements available, a firm verdict on squad depth is not possible. What can be said is that the absence of any doubtful players removes uncertainty, since all four are confirmed out and selection can be planned around a settled list of unavailable players.
