Pisa vs Napoli Match Preview: Key Absences Ahead of Serie A Clash

Match Context

Pisa host Napoli at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani on 17 May 2026 in Serie A, Regular Season - 37. Pisa come in bottom of the table in 20th place with 18 points and a goal difference of -41, while Napoli sit 2nd on 70 points, pushing for Champions League qualification.

Pisa Availability

Pisa face a heavily depleted squad. R. Bozhinov (Red Card) is sidelined. D. Denoon (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. F. Loyola (Red Card) is sidelined. M. Tramoni (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. In addition, F. Coppola (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, while C. Stengs (Inactive) is doubtful. The double red-card absence of Bozhinov and Loyola further stretches a defence that has already conceded 66 league goals.

Napoli Availability

Napoli are also missing key names in attack. David Neres (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. R. Lukaku (Hip Injury) is sidelined. Creative hub K. De Bruyne (Eye injury) is doubtful, which could impact Napoli’s supply line to the forwards.

Impact Summary

Pisa, already the league’s lowest scorers with 25 goals, lose depth in both defence and midfield, likely forcing a conservative approach. Napoli, by contrast, retain their main attacking outputs: leading scorer R. Højlund (10 goals, 4 assists) and S. McTominay (9 goals, 3 assists) are available, preserving most of the visitors’ 54-goal attacking threat despite the absences of Neres and Lukaku.
