Pasquale Mazzocchi - DNP in Venezia contest Mazzocchi (calf) didn't get minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Venezia.

Frank Anguissa - Logs one interception in Venezia game Anguissa (calf) had one inaccurate cross, two interceptions and one clearance in 13 minutes in 13 minutes in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Venezia.

Impact Anguissa recovered quickly from a calf problem but didn't make an impact on his return. He'll most likely supplant Billy Gilmour after the break. He's up to five goals and three assists in 27 matches this season.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Giacomo Raspadori - Five crosses, three accurate Raspadori generated two shots (one on goal), five crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Venezia.

Impact Raspadori has started five consecutive games since mid-February, and they have produced great results overall, even if he failed to get on the scoresheet Sunday. Among the five games, Sunday marked his best in terms of accurate crosses, which he logged nine of despite zero assists.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Matteo Politano - Logs 11 crosses, three accurate Politano had three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Venezia.

Impact Napoli's last three games saw Politano log double-digit crosses twice. He got at least a few accurate crosses out of the ordeal, totaling five across the aforementioned games. A downside in Politano's many crosses is that even with them, he failed to log an assist.

Impact In back-to-back games, McTominay has logged four shots. Unlike the first of both games, the second included an extra shot on goal. Going into the international break and for March, McTominay's shot accuracy has been stellar, with him recording six on target in 11 attempts. The accuracy somewhat compensates for his lack of goals since early-February.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Meret - Logs three-save clean sheet Meret had three saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Venezia.

Impact For the first time in a month, Meret logged more than two saves in a game. It had been longer since the goalkeeper recorded a clean sheet, with him having gone multiple months without one. Meret will enter the international break with 22 saves and three clean sheets in 11 appearances for the 2025 calendar year.

Amir Rrahmani - Leaves Venezia tilt early Rrahmani recorded four interceptions, six clearances and one block before subbing off in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Venezia due to a possible thigh injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Rrahmani filled it up in the back and thwarted a few dangerous actions but couldn't finish the game due to some thigh discomfort. He'll be assessed during the break. Napoli will play their next game on March 30 versus Milan. Juan Jesus and Mathias Olivera are the next men up at the position.

Pasquale Mazzocchi - Available for Venezia match Mazzocchi (calf) "will be selected for Sunday's game with Venezia," coach Antonio Conte informed.

He has a minor role when there aren't injuries. He has recorded four crosses (one accurate), four tackles (two won) and five clearnces in his last five outings (two starts).

Frank Anguissa - Returning against Venezia Anguissa (calf) "has been called up for Sunday's game against Venezia," coach Antonio Conte announced.

Impact Anguissa has recovered quickly from a calf issue, limiting his absence to two matches. He's more likely to come off the bench than to start to avoid risks, as he wasn't a full-go in training for the entire week, and Billy Gilmour has filled in nicely. He has scored once and added seven shots (two on target), three key passes, four crosses (zero accurate) and five tackles (four won) in his last five showings.

He has hit the net once and posted 14 shots (six on target), four key passes and seven tackles (four won) in the last five rounds.
