Impact Carboni drew his second start in a row amid some rotation but couldn't finish the game due to a thigh/groin issue. He was substituted by Pablo Mari, who usually starts along with Luca Caldirola and Armando Izzo. Danilo D'Ambrosio would become the top defensive backup if he had to miss time.

Questionable for Napoli game Carboni practiced on the side in the last few days due to an ankle injury, Cagliari announced.
