Napoli face lengthy absentee list ahead of Serie A fixture
Napoli head into their Serie A fixture on 10 October 2026 with a lengthy list of unavailable players, as injury and fitness problems continue to bite into the squad.
The absentees
Among the ten players ruled out are Alessandro Buongiorno, sidelined with a knee injury, and Costantino Favasuli, who is dealing with a thigh injury. Antonio Vergara is listed with a calf injury, while Alisson Santos is absent due to a muscle injury.
Midfield options are also reduced, with F. Anguissa unavailable because of a groin injury and Giovane out for the same reason. Luca Marianucci is missing with a knee injury, and Scott McTominay is absent due to heart problems.
Looking ahead
With so many players unavailable across several positions, Napoli will need to manage the squad carefully for the fixture. The match kicks off on 10 October 2026.
