Antonio Vergara - Nursing lingering injury Vergara has been playing through plantar fasciitis for a while and will miss one or two matches to try healing, Il Mattino reported.

Impact Vergara has been managing the issue over the last couple of weeks while the team was very short-handed, but it became too bothersome in the Torino tilt. He might be shut down for a while now that Frank Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne have returned, and Scott McTominay and Stanislav Lobotka, who are out due to thigh problems, aren't far behind. Giovane and Miguel Gutierrez could also enjoy an uptick in minutes, depending on the formation.

Impact De Bruyne was deployed late to help manage the lead and looked okay in limited minutes. His playing time will likely increase gradually over the next few rounds. His return could affect Alisson Santos, Antonio Vergara (foot) and Eljif Elmas' minutes. He has notched four goals and two assists in 12 displays (10 starts), adding 20 shots (seven on target) and 19 chances created.

Impact Anguissa relieved Antonio Vergara (foot) at halftime and looked fine for the most part after missing months but didn't fill the stat sheet. His return to the XI could be accelerated if the teammate has to miss time and Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh) remain sidelined in the midfield. He has scored four times, assisted one and recorded 26 shots (eight on target) and 18 crosses (four accurate) in 16 appearances.

He's up to four helpers this year, but his previous one dated back to late October. He has swung in at least one cross in 33 contests in a row, amassing 33 deliveries (11 accurate), scoring twice and adding 12 chances created and 12 shots (three accurate) through that stretch. Moreover, he has tallied one or more clearances in the last three bouts, totaling six.

Matteo Politano - Provides assist in Torino game Politano assisted once to go with three chances created, five crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Friday's 2-1 win against Torino.

He hadn't had one since early January. He has recorded at least three crosses in the last three fixtures (three starts), racking up 16 deliveries (three accurate) and notching three chances created, four corners and two tackles (two won) through that stretch.

Impact Elmas put his team up by two goals in the second half with a technical volley from the middle of the box. It's his maiden goal this season, while he has dished out three helpers. He has been filling in for Scott McTominay (thigh), who might not be out for much longer, lately, while Frank Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury in this one, so his minutes might dip in the next few tilts. He has registered at least one corner in seven matches in a row, totaling 13, assisting once and posting six shots (three on target), eight chances created and 11 crosses (four accurate) over that span.

Impact Vergara had an uneventful showing, failing to record meaningful stats, and picked up a plantar problem shortly before intermission and didn't return from the locker room. He'll need to be assessed before next Saturday's fixture against Lecce. Frank Anguissa replaced him off the bench, returning from a lengthy absence.

Kevin De Bruyne - Returning in Torino fixture De Bruyne (thigh) has completed his ramp-up and has been selected for Friday's match against Torino, Gianluca Di Marzio relayed.

Impact De Bruyne was reportedly in decent shape upon heading back from Belgium and hasn't had any hiccup. He has missed four months due to a thigh injury that required surgery. He'll likely be eased into action, but he might be needed right away with Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh) on the shelf and Frank Anguissa (thigh) also working his way back from a serious injury. He scored four PKs and provided two assists early in the season. He has notched at least one shot in his last three outings, piling up six attempts (two on target) and logging three key passes and three crosses (one accurate) over that span.

Impact Anguissa has recuperated from a pair of injuries and will be an option for the first time since early November. He'll likely make a few bench appearances before returning to his previous big role, but Napoli are short-handed in the midfield without Stanislav Lobotka (quad) and Scott McTominay (thigh). He has sent in at least one cross in his last five appearances, amassing seven deliveries (one accurate), scoring twice and logging six shots (two on target), five chances created and six interceptions through that stretch.

His next opportunity will come next Saturday versus Lecce. Billy Gilmour is set to start next to Elijf Elmas as Scott McTominay (thigh) is out again, but Frank Anguissa and Kevin De Bruyne might be available after lengthy absences in the midfield.

Impact Lukaku logged a season high 17 minutes and made every second count, netting a decisive last minute winner for his first goal of the season and creating two other chances. Napoli's top scorer from their title winning season has endured a difficult return since coming back from a serious long term injury in January, with the coaching staff carefully managing his workload. That goal will undoubtedly boost his confidence as he looks to make an impact in whatever limited minutes come his way, with Napoli pushing for a Champions League spot next season.

Alex Meret - Allows one goal in XI return Meret registered one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Verona.

Impact Meret returned to the starting XI after spending the previous two matches on the bench, with Vanja Milinkovic-Savic dropping back to a reserve role. The goalkeeper was rarely tested, finishing with just one routine save while conceding via a deflected effort. Napoli face Torino on Friday, and it will ultimately come down to coach Antonio Conte's tactical decision whether Meret retains his spot.
