Pasquale Mazzocchi - Well-rounded against Cagliari Mazzocchi registered two crosses (zero accurate), four clearances and two interceptions and two tackles in Sunday's 4-0 win versus Cagliari.

Napoli’s Serie A match at Cagliari had to be temporarily halted in the first half after trouble between rival supporters in the stadium

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Starting against Cagliari Kvaratskhelia (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Cagliari.

Impact Kvaratskhelia is good to go after dealing with a minor ankle injury upon his return from international duty. The attacker has a goal and an assist while combining for 17 shots and seven chances created through the opening three Serie A matches.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Small doubt for Cagliari tilt Kvaratskhelia "returned from international duties with an ankle problem, but we'll see, as we still have a couple of practices to evaluate him," coach Antonio Conte announced.

Impact Kvaratskhelia picked up a knock in the first half of his recent appearance with Georgia but soldiered through it and came off only late in the match. If he couldn't start, Giacomo Raspadori or David Neres would take his place, but there's not a lot of concern about his availability, Il Mattino reported.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Folorunsho - Re-joins the group in training Folorunsho practiced regularly with the rest of the squad after a meeting with coach Antonio Conte, Corriere dello Sport informed.

Impact Folorunsho wasn't involved in the early matches as he could have left after an argument with the gaffer, but he stayed put and has been included in the Serie A list, so he'll be an extra option in a few roles going forward. He'll be a lot less prominent than during his loan at Verona, where he tallied five goals, one assist, 47 shots and 64 crosses (10 accurate).
