Napoli host Bologna at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples, on 11 May 2026 in Serie A (Regular Season - 36). Napoli arrive second in the table on 70 points, while Bologna sit tenth with 49 points.

Napoli Availability

None of these absences are due to yellow cards or red cards. Key attacking contributors R. Højlund (10 league goals, 3 assists) and S. McTominay (9 goals, 3 assists) are both available, preserving much of Napoli’s offensive threat, supported by creator M. Politano (5 assists).

Vitik (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. T. Dallinga (Injury) is doubtful. Joao Mario (Injury) is doubtful. L. Skorupski (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. No suspensions are reported.

Impact Summary

Napoli’s main loss is depth and rotation in forward areas, but their top scorers remain intact, limiting the attacking output lost. Bologna, already on 42 goals in the league, risk both defensive instability and reduced attacking options if their doubtful players fail to recover.
