Leonardo Spinazzola - Starting on Sunday Spinazzola (thigh) is getting the nod in Sunday's game versus Como.

Impact Spinazzola won the duel with Mathias Olivera, who's also returning from injury, as the coach had to field one of the two since Pasquale Mazzocchi went down with an injury. He has scored and assisted once this season.

Leonardo Spinazzola - Fit for Como fixture Spinazzola (thigh) "has practiced regularly for two days in a row and will be available like Mathias Olivera (calf)," coach Antonio Conte announced.

Impact Spinazzola has recovered quickly from a glute strain, and whoever is in better shape between the two fullbacks will get the start on the left wing. He has scored once and logged 20 crosses (five accurate), 12 corners and four tackles (three won) in his last five outings.

Mathias Olivera - Available against Como Olivera (calf) "has been training regularly for two days, and we'll have to take a risk with him and Leonardo Spinazzola (thigh) because there are no alternatives," coach Antonio C...

Impact Olivera will be back after sitting out four matches and will compete for the starting job with the teammate, who's also returning from injury. He has recorded seven shots (one on target), two key passes, 12 tackles (nine won) and nine clearances in his last five appearances (all starts).

Pasquale Mazzocchi - Sustains calf injury Mazzocchi picked up a soleus muscular distraction in his right calf in training, Napoli announced.

Impact Mazzocchi will skip at least a couple of fixtures to heal. He drew a rare start in the previous match thanks to a tactical modification and the absences of Leonardo Spinazzola (glute) and Mathias Olivera (calf). if neither returns versus Como, Matteo Politano will adapt to the role.

Scott Mctominay - Underwhelming in Lazio contest McTominay drew three fouls and had one tackle (zero won), two clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Lazio.

Impact McTominay used his muscularity to help the defense but was a non-factor on offense, which hasn't happened a lot this campaign. He has bagged two goals and logged nine shots (four on target), two key passes, three crosses (zero accurate) and six tackles (four won) in the last five bouts.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Alessandro Buongiorno - Makes first since since major injury Buongiorno registered two tackles (two won), three clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Lazio.

Impact Buongiorno returned to the XI a couple of weeks after recovering from a back fracture and looked fine for the most part, although he didn't have 90 minutes in his legs yet. Napoli conceded one of the two goals after he was subbed out. He'll be a fixture going forward, but Juan Jesus could stay in the XI until Mathias Olivera (calf) returns.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Giovanni Di Lorenzo - Mostly quiet versus Lazio Di Lorenzo had two crosses (zero accurate), one interception, two clearances and two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Lazio.

Impact Di Lorenzo was more effective in the back than in the final third despite playing in a more attacking role as a result of tactical adjustment. The tweak could last until David Neres (thigh) returns. He has totaled four key passes, seven crosses (two accurate), six tackles (three won) and eight clearances in the last five fixtures, without any contribution or clean sheet.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Frank Anguissa - Wins two tackles against Lazio Anguissa drew two fouls and had two crosses (zero accurate), three clearances and three tackles (two won) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Lazio.

Impact Anguissa had a more muted offensive display compared to some recent games because of the quality of the opponents and did his part in the passive phase. He has recorded one goal, two assists, six shots (one on target), five key passes and 10 clearances in the last five tilts.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Romelu Lukaku - Provides assist versus Lazio Lukaku assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two tackles (one won) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Lazio.

Impact Lukaku was often stuffed and had just one attempt but still made the stat sheet by combining with Giacomo Raspadori ahead of the first goal for his side. He's up to seven assists in the season, while he has nine goals to his name. He has scored twice and added 10 shots (four on target) and one ke pass in the last five matches.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Giacomo Raspadori - Hits the net versus Lazio Raspadori scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target), four crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Lazio.

Impact Raspadori got first dibs in replacing David Neres and equalized the game in the first half with a solid effort from a difficult position for his second goal of the year. He's likely to keep starting over Cyril Ngonge and Noah Okafor given his early success. He has tallied three shots (zero on target), four key passes and six crosses (four accurate) in his last five outings.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Meret - Beaten twice in Lazio tilt Meret recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Lazio.

Impact Meret conceded on a strike from distance by Gustav Tang Isaksen and a nice finish by Boulaye Dia from inside the box. He hasn't kept a clean sheet in five rounds, making 17 saves and surrendering seven goals. Napoli will face Como away next Sunday.

David Neres - Suffers thigh injury Neres has been diagnosed with a muscular distraction of his left semimembranosus muscle after getting hurt late in the Udinese game, Sky Italy reported.

Impact Neres will be sidelined for three to four weeks depending on how the rehab goes. Giacomo Raspadori, Cyril Ngonge and Noah Okafor will likely all get at crack at trying to substitute for him on the left wing.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

David Neres - Six crosses, two accurate Neres recorded two shots (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Udinese.

Impact Neres has been consistent with his crosses, attempting more than three across Napoli's last three games and logging multiple accurate crosses in each of the aforementioned appearances. In total, he logged 14 crosses (six accurate) across the three-game span.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Politano - Assist to goal Politano assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Udinese.

Impact Politano's assist assured Napoli remains undefeated in 2025 and Scott McTominay his third goal since the year change. With it, Politano has turned a new leaf, his recent form showing such with one goal and two assists across Napoli's last four games.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scott Mctominay - Logs another goal McTominay scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Udinese.

Impact The calendar year changing from 2024 to 2025 has not altered McTominay's relatively steady pace of goal scoring. Since the year change, he has averaged an on-target shot per game, executing three goals across a six-game span that saw Napoli log at least one point in each matchup.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Meret - One goal conceded, three saves Meret recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Udinese.

Impact For the third Serie A game in a row, Meret conceded one goal, making it four straight appearances without a clean sheet for him. At the very least, unlike his previous two games, he logged several saves, somewhat compensating for his goal concession. In the four-game span, Meret has logged nine saves with five goals conceded.
