Victor Osimhen - Expected to play in UCL return legOsimhen (thigh) "will 100 per cent be available for the return leg" of the Champions League quarterfinal tie against AC Milan, The Athletic reports that Napoli manager Luciano Spal...

ImpactOsimhen has been out with an adductor injury since returning from the March international window missing Napoli's last two Serie A games and of course Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Milan in the first leg of the UCL quarterfinal. But Spaletti is confident that Osimhen will be able to play in the return fixture next week, which means he could also see playing time in Saturday's domestic clash against Verona as well.

Mario Rui - Busy on both ends versus MilanRui created two scoring chances and had two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate), and four interceptions in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat against AC Milan.

ImpactRui was active in the final third and led his club in crosses thanks to multiple corner kicks and put up numbers in the back as well, although the goal was generated from his side and from a strong play by Brahim Diaz. He has posted six chances created, 29 crosses (five accurate), five tackles (four won), and three clearances in his last five appearances.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo - Impactful against MilanDi Lorenzo recorded five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate), one interception, and one chance created in Wednesday's 0-1 loss to AC Milan.

ImpactDi Lorenzo uncharacteristically led his team in shots as he attacked often, also on set pieces, and had one of the biggest chances of the game with a well-placed header, but Mike Maignan stuck his arm out just in time to tip it over the bar. He has scored and assisted once in the last five contests, adding seven shots (three on target), and six key passes. Napoli will host Verona Saturday.

Eljif Elmas - Creates two chances in Napoli gameElmas drew two fouls, won three duels, and had one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 0-1 defeat against AC Milan.

ImpactElmas was unusually deployed as a false-nine since Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Simeone were out, and Giacomo Raspadori had limited autonomy, however, that didn't really boost his offensive numbers, and he wasn't very threatening. He has tallied three shots (two on target), two key passes, and three tackles (one won) in the last five matches (two starts).

Piotr Zielinski - Lively against MilanZielinski created one scoring chance and registered two shots (one on goal), four crosses (three accurate), and five corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against AC Milan.

ImpactZielinski led the charge early with a pair of long-range attempts, one of which forced Mike Maignan into a difficult save, and contributed across the board in both phases. He has scored and assisted once in his last five appearances, adding seven shots (five on target), 12 chances created, and 18 crosses (ten accurate). Napoli will host Verona Saturday.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Muted versus MilanKvaratskhelia had six successful take-ons, two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and two chances created in Wednesday's 0-1 loss to AC Milan.

ImpactKvaratskhelia glided past opponents at will but never in dangerous areas and was subpar near the box. He hasn't picked up points in the past three games, where he has recorded six shots (one on target), eight key passes, and eight crosses (two accurate). Napoli will host Verona Saturday.
